Greg Greg, thanks for listening and for the kind words. I've found that can only go so long and then I have to take a break. But it's good to post again. I'm really liking Studio One. At first I didn't like the Sax and thought that I would eventually replace it. At the very end of the mixing process it worked out.

I mixed in a guitar distortion plugin and a short slap-back delay and that was interesting.

Rob and Anne-Marie Rob and Anne-Marie, It's good to hear from you. A nice coincidence as yesterday was the day I recorded the vocals and uploaded the song. You must have sent me a signal or something. Although I wrote the song in 2007, I have never recorded it before. So it would be new in that since.

Well arranged though the bass seems a little too growly all the way through - sounds more like a clavinet in parts. Are you going to sort out an ending? Cool stuff.

It rings with sincerity, commitment, raw honesty and competence. From start to end, the track sizzles! As with all your songs, once I started listening, there was no turning back! Love that note that you use for "close". Super writing and arranging and mega-super singing! All the best, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2025 audios on Soundcloud

Loved the guita rolling along in the right channel and especially liked the sax solo. The only thing I didn’t particularly care for was the abrupt ending. I wanted more. Great job. Dave
