LOL Good sound as always. PS. Edit to add - Mac mentioned Ray Stevens who was one of my favs growing up and this really reminds me of something Ray'd do with one of his wild videos to go with it. LOL. Kudos. Last edited by Sundance; 11/04/13 06:18 PM. Youtube Channel Soundcloud

It's a real feel-good song that gave me a surge of adrenalin with all its energy! As Josie has pointed out, alliteration abounds in these lyrics. So does assonance, consonance, inner-rhyme and concealed alliteration. These lyrics are a textbook example of how to use such rhetorical devices to increase the singability and memorability of words. Wow! I can't even begin to comprehend how much time it must have taken to put these verses and chorus together. It's like a jigsaw puzzle with 5,000 pieces! Words and phrases that come to mind as I sit here trying to think of things to write are: 'creatively clever', 'great sense of comedy', 'incredibly visual imagery', 'top shelf production', 'how did he do that?', 'just ... wow!' Scrape. Clunk. Clunk. There goes that songwriting bar up yet another notch or two. All the best, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2025 audios on Soundcloud

Wonderfully expressive vocal and impeccable harmony, all over the top of a crisp, clear and driving backing. Lovely mix and a powerful sound without any compression artefacts. The lyrics are all just super, but my favourite line has to be - "a sermon with the sauce on the side." Inspired. ROG. Free online guitar lessons. Cours de guitare gratuit en ligne.

I really liked the way the instruments hang on the end of some of the lines while the drums push through. Very effective and another tool to put in the bag of tricks. I assume you used the ... on the chords and after dragging the tracks to the DAW, you must have gone back and removed the ... in order to keep the drum track moving through the measure and then dragged the new drum track in place. Just all around great work. At first I thought the ending was too long by a few bars, but after going back for several listens it works. Tom

Yeah, I'd hate to try to sing some of those lines after having spent the evening at reverend bob's beer and barbecue big tent bible revival.... I don't think the tongue would work well enough to get it all out after a few plates of ribs and a few tall frosty ones..... What is funny, my son in law posted a pic on farce book of a supposed sign in front of a church that was pretty much along the lines of the topic of this song..... beer and bible study...... hummmmmmmmmmm.... really? BTW: I was getting hungry and thirsty just listening.... Good job Last edited by Guitarhacker; 11/04/13 08:19 AM.

My favourite line is "they wash it all down with a mug of cold suds" I suspect however that a couple or three may have passed your lips during the writing of those lyrics. Thoroughly enjoyed that.

Kind of surprising we don't see them used more often, I think... Josie - I can take pokin' "Jesus fetched his followers for a friendly fish fry" is one of my favorite lines of any I've ever written in my entire life. Is Ray Stevens still around? And what ever happened to Jim Stafford? We don't really have one of those "comedy/parody guys" anymore... Weird Al maybe... 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

We don't really have one of those "comedy/parody guys" anymore... Weird Al maybe... Jim Stafford is alive and well in Branson. (weird Al too) My wife and I went this past summer for a few days. Road trip from NC through TN into MO and back. Jim has his own theater there and we decided to get tickets to see his show. The theater was about 1/10th full.... way too many empty seats especially considering it was mid summer tourist season. However the other shows and theaters were also nearly empty. We needed to switch plans and move one show's reserved tix to a sooner night, and were amazed to get 2nd row center tix..... until we got there and saw the empty theater. Anyway, back to Jim.... he did all his hit songs of yester-year and added comedy and one liners into it. Had his kids on stage and he was quite the guitar player..... I don't often think of the guy who sang "Cow Patty" as being an accomplished guitar picker but he is. Cow Patty was a 15 minute song/comedy routine..... very entertaining. It was the best show we saw while there. I still have the videos in my phone and look at them every now and then. I think one reason the theaters were all so empty was that there are theaters on every corner and half a dozen in between.... they are everywhere. Several were shut down with "for sale" signs on them. Beside the theaters, we didn't really see much to do for adults in that town. Traffic is unbelievably horrendous. I quickly learned what roads to avoid and shortcuts or log cuts to get around the congestion. It reminded me of Orlando or Myrtle Beach with out the ocean. At least in MB you could go and soak up the sun and sand..... You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.

You would think that Pat would be using this as "the example", eh?... Guenter - Thanks for the comments... Joanne - Thanks. I do seem to be leaning towards "rockin' out" these days.

OP floyd jane Veteran Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 12,429 Florida	ROG - always appreciate your comments - and are always pleased if the mix suits you - I know you've got the equipment and the ears to get to the truth... For the "sermon with the sauce on the side" line, I used to change that on the 2nd chorus to "a sermon with the sausage and fries.." - for a little different flavor (so to speak) but decided to leave it this time... Tom - Thanks. Re: the drums "running through" a hold... the method you describe will work, but you can have BIAB do it for you... After the 3 dots (the hold) add any part that you want to ignore the hold... typically the drums and sometimes the drums and bass (for me) like this: G...d (<<< G chord held - but drums keep playing) G...bd (<<< G chord help - but drums and bass keep playing) Questions? 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...
