Thanks, Steve. The band before us and the one after had a great horn section, and I swear I saw you there.

Holy Toledo Marty 74 tracks! that is epic 😵 , I hope you had access to gallons of coffee not to mention a good defrag program for your brain after the wrap .
Sounds like you had the classic 'I-can't-delete-anything-because-it-might-be-important' production technique. I've Been there. May the mixing gods have mercy on your ears...and your rendering times.
I really enjoy your animated vocals on this. Your vocals have a unique ability to draw me into the story that you are telling which never fails to be a fun listening experience. Great how you set the scene with the audience/band interaction with the band kicking in with that infectious fun groove. Dave Bell's guitar solo? Shredding like he's trying to pay off a student loan! The crowd's enthusiasm occasionally swallowed the lead vocals whole, which proves two things: 1) They were really into it, and 2) Sound guys have nightmares about live recordings. But honestly, who cares? This track sounds like it was a monumental undertaking, a true Herculean effort. And you know what? We, the listeners, are the lucky gods feasting on the ambrosia of your musical labour. Thanks for the joyful indigestion!"
An added personal bonus is that your song brought back fond memories of visits to "The Big Easy" ( pre Katrina) .

Oh and about that explaination: ♀♂
"Sounds like a typical rowdy night... if your night involves a PTO-approved euphemism for sex, a rogue "Grooove dat!" screamer, and a drummer heading to Bourbon Street (hopefully with a designated driver...and maybe a conga). The real question is: did the Neville Brothers show up with their PTO-approved euphemism, and did it involve beignets?" nudge nudge wink wink 😜

All around an excellent song and production Marty. I enjoyed it thoroughly ! 💯 ✔️ 🆗 👋 👍
Wow, Izzy. Best comment ever!! Thanks so much for taking the time (and getting the spelling right -hah). Seriously, man, you words are a framer for sure. You're right, it is a great place to visit. My last time there was 2019. Gotta get back there. Let me know when you will be there. wink

On behalf of all the listeners, thank YOU, Dave. It was pretty crowded on that stage, huh? Glad you filled it out with some great playing.

Thanks, Mark. When the crowd cheered for Cryil the conga player, I knew the audience should be explained.

Enjoy whatever happens!
