Could you fiddle with the reverb? Sure, maybe. But what I liked is that you DID it. With vocals, it is simply a factor of doing them more, just sing and sing and sing. Definitely give us more Mario singing songs. I really enjoyed this. I would rather hear a real human being singing their own song in their own voice no matter how that sounds over an AI voice or some purchased demo singer any day of the week, so please do more. It sounds real man.

Reckon he's about as old as us now. Fun listen indeed. J&B Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

Hey, it's not too late for the man with the cigar to drop by. Reckon he's about as old as us now. Fun listen indeed. J&B Well actually the man with a big cigar did drop by many years ago. But I had a good job, a wife, a baby son, a car payment and a mortgage and he couldn't give me enough money to leave that scenario. I'm glad that you liked it.

Band was playing well. You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Looking at the list of instruments this time, I see that you are using the new UVI B-5 Organ instead of Native Instruments' B4 Organ. Recently, new reproduction models of B3 Organ are being developed more and more. As long as I'm a fan of B3 Organ, I'm very happy. I've been using Ik Multimedia's Hammond B-3X a lot lately. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Yes, you should sing and write more lyrics. I always feel that your instrumentals are sung by you and I even hear the ineffable lyrics, but your sense of humor comes through more clearly when you're effable. I'm singing, "I was almost famous...," a new anthem for us.

The UVI B-5 does come close to the B4. My love for the B3 goes back to the 1960s when I was in a trio consisting of a B3, drums, and me on a guitar. I have all of Jimmy Smith's albums.
