This is another ReMaster of a song I originally posted in 2013.
A new mix as well.

While I was putting the original production together (all BIAB), Rodney Gene Junior (who had recently joined the forum) offered to do some guitar work.
Once he got hold of what I had, over time, he replaced all the BIAB guitars and the BIAB bass.
He also did a bunch of work (magic) on the BIAB drum track
Rodney had been a bass player and was in the process of completing 10,000 hours of electric guitar "study" (the 10,000 hours thing was big at time and he dedicated himself to it - and seemed to prove the theory).
He has gone well beyond that.
He did an incredible BIAB testimonial.
Check out his YouTube channel.
You will be blown away.


Using the tracks he sent me - (his guitars were all mixed in a single stereo file, plus a bass track, and a drum track)... I did the mix and the mastering (I had not yet completed my 10,000 hours of mixing and mastering)
So the overall sound was/is my fault. Looking back at that recently, I thought it could use a re-do.
(It is slated for the album that I am planning).


The surviving BIAB tracks:
RealTracks in song: 1726:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm HonkyTonkJohn Ev 120
RealDrums in Song: NashvilleEven8^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride

RG Jr - all guitars and bass

me - vocals, harmonies, mix & master


All that being said, this is another favorite (of mine, anyway)....


WRONG MAILBOX

carol put a letter in the wilhagen's mailbox
thought it was her boyfriend brett's
it said "what you did last night took me straight to heaven
i don't think that i've come down yet"
when willamena wilhagen read what carol wrote
she called her husband harold downtown
she said "don't think i don't know what you've been up to"
and slammed that receiver back down

old man wilhagen turned to bobby bartlett
said "willamena knows about the game"
mad as hell he threw a punch that nearly blinded bob
he knew his buddy had to be to blame
bob stumbled back into missy ann middleton
just as she lit a cigarette
you can well be certain when her hand hit the curtains
they went up in flames in nothing flat

     that's how it happened, i swear that it's true
      gotta be careful 'bout the things that you do
      step on a crack and the whole world rocks
      carol put a letter in the wrong mailbox

when the volunteers gathered, fire chief mathers
hit the lights and pulled out into traffic
right into the back of the carson's cadillac
just missing martha moore's maverick
martha turned hard into the mall courtyard
bouncing off of others all the while
there was flying glass and metal and when the dust had settled
there were 37 cars in a pile

with the fire truck stuck, downtown was out of luck
five blocks burned to the ground
except for the ihop and half of betty's beauty shop
there's not much left of this town
boyfriend brett said "it's a sure bet
there's no work in a town this fried"
so he headed west, but before he left
he asked carol to be his bride

      that's how it happened, i swear that it's true
      gotta be careful 'bout the things that you do
      step on a crack and the whole world rocks
      carol put a letter in the wrong mailbox
      carol put a letter in the wrong mailbox



Have a little fun.
