*******************
Per my usual, the rhythm section was created in BIAB, .wav files exported to Logic Pro X (LPX). Vocal added in LPX.

Lovely laid tune Bob. Such a cool vocal. Loved this.

Loved the longing in your vocal, some great lines in the song (he's social distancing from six feet below), piano a little busy but not too bad, good sendup overall.

Thanks Scott C.

This was just a quick throw together for a block party, but folks seem to enjoy it. I guess we are all living the same challenges and we are all ready for a laugh!

Thanks Tune Monger!

This was just a quick throw together for a block party, so I just took what BIAB gave me on that piano. But it kinda sounds like a few piano players I have worked with over the years. In fact, it sounds BETTER than a few piano players I have worked with!

"Don't make me ask. Just put on your mask." A wonderfully lazy blues, with a finely crafted vocal.

Ha ha ha, love it.
Well done tongue in cheek fun!


Great band.
Fun lyrics.
Well performed vocals.

Gave me a smile.

What a tune! It's got some serious class, loved the instrumentation and the crooning vocals. Fun to listen to and got my toe tapping from the get go. Thanks for sharing

Hi Mr BobaLew,

THAT IS JUST AWESIME IN EVERY RESPECT !!!

Very funny lyrics - that's the kind of humour that's badly need these days. Your singing is simply top notch. Great tune, great backing track., freat sound. Loved it!

Take care,

Stefan

Very, very well done!!! Vocal is killer, and everything sounds pro!! Curious about your vocal chain and what reverb that is.....has a great older style feel! Take care. Greg

Love it! What a great song! You put a big smile on my face. Everything about this is killer: production, lyrics, singing, etc.

Thanks for the good time!

This is all sorts of cool.
MOST impressive is the way you've blended you vocal with the pre reverbed BIAB tracks.

Forgive me! I try to answer every comment individually, but life happened.

The love is much appreciated, and man! do I ever it need it right now.

Regarding the reverb (there are questions): I export separate 'dry' tracks from BIAB. Then I use one reverb bus in Logic Pro X for everything. Abbey Road(-ish) EQ on reverb bus. For bad or for worse that is how I do things. NO REVERB on bass.

My audience is typically band mates who usually ask questions like, "Hey, you got anymore of that queso?" and couldn't care less about production settings. Gotta luv 'em.

If I can keep family out of hospital I'll get back to writing hit songs. Or just plain old how-I-see-it songs. Maybe some hanging-at-the-hospital-with-family songs. Writing is cathartic for me, and someday I'm going to look up that word and see what it means. But not today, I have to go to the hospital. With my mask on. Don't make me ask.

Mr.BobaLew

One of the best tunes related to our current situation I have heard. Super arrangement and vocals! Thank you for sharing.

Misha.
