Thanks to everyone for the comments, you are way too nice 

I am recording on my PC running old Sonar 3 cakewalk on my old XP operating system, welcome to the 1990's 

I am still try to figure it out and need to spend more time mixing things down better but then I get a new idea and want to start on the next one, writing is the fun part for me recording and mixing are such a chore at least for me.

Ted, I am glad I reminded you of an old song of yours I am going to check it out now, I'm am sure it is great.

Thank You All,
Dave

That's why it sound so "warm". There's probably valves in that setup somewhere......

I really like the space.. the stops with the guitar. A cool rhythm. And it's got a cool feel to it as well.

I agree with Nigel's comments about the panning, but this is a top tune. It grabbed me from the first chords and didn't let go. I like the use of space in this song - i.e. the fact it's clear and uncluttered. It all works really well. Love it.

Full on awesome - Love it. It has kind of a Barenaked Ladies vibe to it at times.

Your "nice guy" approach makes this song much more appealing, because the heartbreaking scow will feel much worse because of it! 

Very cool

Almost totally missed this!

Nice job indeed! I concur with the comments about the panning, but I liked the song quite a bit!

Just found this.  Really like it -- vocals and rhythm guitar are very catchy.  Like your style.  How do you do the drums?  Software, drum machine, etc?

Thanks for all the nice comments.
I have an external drum machine that I have been using for years, a Zoom Rythmtrak 323, I bought it about 8 years ago and soon after bought some smart media cards for it with more drum sounds, I am glad I did because I am sure I couldn't find them now. I like the drum sounds and I am used to how it operates so I haven't tried anything new lately, drums aren't my forte so I stick with something I know.

Thanks,
Dave
