Registered: 07/15/12 Posts: 1831 gruverider Expert Registered: 07/15/12 Posts: 1831	https://soundcloud.com/lawrence-olivier/summer-chaser-f-janice-m After a recent remix, I invited Bud and Janice to add some vocals to this song and I was just delighted with the results.

The boat, the "Fidelis", was owned by a friend of mine and we used to sail Lake Pontchartrain on the North end of New Orleans in the years before and the summer of 2005 before Hurricane Katrina. The boat in your link brings back fond memories

Vocals are nice, harmonies are a bonus, especially on the fade. Nice write, engaging story. Loved the guitar solo. Gotta check out that RT. Cool ending! Reminded me a bit of early Billy Joel - that's a good thing. I like this one a lot! _________________________ -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say.

I added some Guitar Rig 5 on that solo. And thank you for some musical context, I often don't know what style I'm writing in.

Registered: 08/21/18 Posts: 1368 Tangmo Expert Registered: 08/21/18 Posts: 1368	This is great singer/songwriter stuff even though it's fully produced. Great lyric. I hear ship (boat? Yacht? I'm a land-lubber) as metaphor for marriage and every line is precious. Great structure from that short chorus to all the twists and turns, the false ending, the reprise/encore and the very nice faded ending. Ever fresh. Great delivery in the vocals, and Janice's Americana harmonies are sweet indeed. Hugely enjoyed and all I wanted to do when it finished was play it again.

It actually reminded me an overall Stephen Stills vibe. Nice vocals. Background vocals are top-notch! Janice is always a nice addition to your songs (or to anyone's for that matter). A great listen. fj _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...
