Hi Alan,

Thanks for the review. From what you have written it is apparent that certain terms which are innocuous and innocent to us on this side of the Pacific can have a totally different meaning in other settings and cultures. In this country a black stick on the side of the road is a "fatal accident-marker" (as shown in the image on Soundcloud).
A red one indicates serious injury.

When I mixed the instruments I had the mandolin cranked up to full. It obviously wasn't enough. Perhaps I should have rendered it as one instrument per track and remixed, or else lowered the volume on all the other instruments and adjusted the final Db level last of all.

Stay safe.


My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile
