Is this a practise run-through for your ( well deserved) future Grammy acceptance speech? :D :D :D
I always say, if I can leave somebody happy and smiling at the end of the day-----I've completely f*cked up!!

Thanks Bosko - I appreciate your interest! :)

My day-job has been taking up much of my time lately, and I haven't posted a lot here yet - so far, mostly a few snippets in the Song Intros thread and a minor contribution to one of Greeny's tunes. I do have several irons in the fire on my MicroBR in various stages of completeness and a little more time for the next few weeks, so I do hope to finish and make some new postings here soon.

Hey, Beatles remasters coming out tomorrow! And there goes my leisure time the remainder of this week! ;)

btw, still very much looking forward to your CD release - please let me know when it's available.  8)

All the best,

How did I miss this.

This is damn good! It definitely has your feel, but not as "processed" sounding. And I don't mean processed in a bad way. It just feels a bit more... natural. If that makes any sense. Great intro too. And I love the bass! Great job!

I need to get my guitars put back to together and get cracking on some stuff. You really inspire me to do more. My wife thinks that's funny because I play a completely different kind of music. I think she is just now realizing how varied my musical tastes are.

Keep up the good work. This song need to go on your second album for sure! ;)

John, sorry it took me so damn long to comment on this one, as you may remember I had family in town, and sometimes they can be a f*@%ing handful...... yes, this was one of those times.

sigh....

As for the song....WOW! I freaking love it!!! At first listen I thought the vocals were too up front, but after numerous listens I think it works quite well. I'm also glad you agreed with Blooby and Nigel's comments on boosting the bass a bit; the bassline is incredible and most definitely needs a bit of the spot light. I especially love the change at the 1:32 mark and the bass slide, it's brilliant, but I kind of felt like you should have repeated that same slide at the 1:42 mark before the chorus came back, but perhaps that didn't work as well with the subsequent change? But what do I know. Man, you have a knack for writing a very catchy song.... "too poppy for even me" never! I like my pop!

The one thing that really stood out for me was your drumming....shit-fuck, it's so spot on with the song; complex, but not overwhelming, powerful, but well-balanced with the other instruments.

Again, incredible work!!!! You should maybe make this a bonus track for your album, or a b-side. But I guess it doesn't tie into the theme.

Either way, Your wife is a lucky woman.
