OP Torrey Bliss Veteran Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 5,467 United States	COLD HARD RAIN Ron Helm and I had a chance to get together last week and we took the opportunity to scratch out another song. I was thinking of waiting a while to post here but decided to go ahead and do it now. It's about someone coming to the realization that they are not where they need to be in their relationship with God or an individual! Thanks to anyone who takes time to have a listen!

The intro is VERY cool! Arrangement and mix are very good, I'm not a big fan of that snare sound, but that's just a personal thing, nothing to worry about Making bits and bytes sound good...

Might be in their sub-genre. Great job. https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677 BiaB 2025 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Many of your tunes have a classic 80s sound to me, like big radio hits from that era People knew how to produce back then.

Lots of dynamics, great guitar playing, and awesome vocals. Recently my desktop speaker gave up and I purchased a new one. I bought it at the local five and dime. A cheap one with a bit of a muffled sound. But your production comes out alive and kicking even with this speaker!

Catchy and memorable chorus. Great vocal as well. And did I mention the intro yet? -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I wasn't expecting to hear any more songs from you this year, so this is a bit of an early present for us I think All the best to you and yours for Christmas!
