Sounds great, Chay!
The piano solo was really nice.
I also liked the Irish/Celtic sound of the fiddle, and the guitar solos were superb, they really wailed!
Excellent production and mix, well done!

Chay,
Some really great sounds in here. LOVE the guitars and the mix. Everything has it's place and can heard. You really know how to get the very best out of these tracks.
Awesome!

Hi Chay!
Gee, you make a two chord tune (if I am correct) sound great. As I was listening, it made me imagine the closing finale in a concert where everyone in the band gets a solo on the way out. Like others have said, I love the effort you put in to find RealTracks that work so unexpectedly well. Good stuff!
Andrew

Chay, this is fantastic.
Super guitar, fiddle, and piano leads.
Super rhythm section.
As usual an excellent mix.
Outstanding work.

Excellent production and mix, well done! Thanks, BobL. Greatly appreciated. I speak many forms of gibberish, from the ancient to the futurological, and one of my favourites is bubble gibberish in which instead of ending words which end in ible or able one says bubble, such as "That's incredibubble music", or even the Shakespearean "Hubbubble, bubbbubble, toil and troububble". You could try is with 'bobble' - it's guaranteed to annoy friend and family, even if they're incredibobble!

Bob Thanks, Bob! Yep, but it takes a heck of a lot sample auditioning and sometimes editing to get those solos to sound consistently good.

Andrew Two chords, Andrew! I say thee nay! There are actually 5 in that, though until you mentioned it I'd never actually counted them. This chord structure with the ¾ & 4/4 comes from two versions of a song I wrote in the early 80s, which has a lot more chords, but when I first started with BiaB I couldn't remember them all so after the opening Cs to Ems I improvised. The other 3 chords used are Em7, Bm & Am. But I not only have a couple of old songs which only use 2 chords, I have one which only uses one as a drone.

Dig that piano. Thanks Floyd. I've now used that piano Style in a few tracks, including a new one I've just finished, but it's a shame that I get the same phrases appearing in different instrumentals. There are some unique solos which are hard to reuse as the riffs/licks/phrases are too unique and too noticeable, but luckily such are not so noticeable with this piano and some other solos I use.

Really dynamic, Chay. It pulled me right in and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the piano and fiddle parts especially. Do you prefer I comment here or on your videos? I know it can help the algos to comment on youtube. But it's so convenient to just listen to the embed. Let me know what you prefer.

The time signature change on this song is very memorable from your previous posts. Excellent job providing an evolving series of dynamic punches with the lead instruments. Very lively mix, too. Super job (again)!

Super job (again)! Thanks, Ron! I've recently completely redone the original "VW" with the 3/4 & 4/4, but it's very different to this. I hope to upload it before the end of August.
