TRAGEDY A song about the break-up of my friend's marriage. Written and produced by Nigel Spiers Featuring the amazing talent of Brian Harley on Guitar. For you guitar aficionados - can you spot where Brian changes pickup on his Fender Telecaster during the lead break? Bass - Simon Marks Drums - Al Olds Piano - Nigel Spiers Vocals - Nigel Spiers Unfortunately I didn't take a note of the BIAB Style used when I wrote this song but I do remember it was an all MIDI style. Best Regards Nigel

Nigel,
Like his one a lot—cool, jazzy feel with a great vocal. Love the sax and sweet harmonies. Terrific work on this. I am wondering if the vocals should sit back a it more in the mix—but if so, just a tad . . . see what others think. But regardless, sweet tune.
All my best,
Deej

Wow, this was terrific. Right up my alley. Great singing, great guitar. Like a busier Robert Cray. Excellent job, all.

Hi Folks,
Thanks for your kind comments and suggestions.
Yes - I agree - the vocals may be a touch loud in the mix.
Best Regards
Nigel

Great song - excellent groove. If I'm not mistaken, that change occurs around 02:12.

Hi Ghostgum,
Spot-on - at 2:12.
If you send me your address I'll send you a chocolate fish (do they still have those in Australia?).
Best Regards
Nigel

The song immediately announces itself a blues and delivers throughout. Engaging vocal, excellent guitar chops. Clean mix. The bit dodgey pronunciation of "tragendy" until 3:51 adds to the flavor.  Fun listen!

Hi David,
Well spotted - I wish I still had the original recording tracks so I could edit that out. I must have had a cold that day!
Best Regards
Nigel
