Thanks, Ronnie. Yeah, the bridge was intended to be quite different, like it was showing another aspect of the singer's life --one where he hoped to be like everyone else. Glad you liked it. And you reminded me that I forgot to include the acoustic guitar and a loop that was used for the bridge.

Man! you're bass so BUTTERY! Smooth and punchy at the same time. A great sound.

The BAND sounds great. Cool lead guitar (had to look back to see if Dave did that...). Nice vocal. Good use of the harp. Solid mix.


"Ya gotta stand on my shoulders to see the Sea Of Blues"
Loved that!

Enjoyed!

Thanks so much, Floyd. Your listening skills are another shine of your talent. Yeah, I WISH I could ask Dave to do ALL of the solos. Seems more time is spent trying to craft a solo from BiaB than any other part of the production.

However I think you could pull the vox back just a bit on this one.

I like the vocals and instrumentation.
Vocals are well delivered and crisp.

Perhaps it could be an EQ thing that's poking out at me.
The vox and guitar pop out a bit too much for my taste.

Oh, what the hell do I know...........maybe it's perfect and I'm a crappy listener.

Hahaha! Moto, Captain, you are so right... you are a crappy listener. HAHAHA! No, just kidding, man. You are absolutely right. I thought the same thing --at least about the vocal. Seems that whatever I mixed last ends up a bit louder than the rest of the mix. Thanks for listening and especially for your helpful comments.

Enjoy whatever happens!
