hey Frank, great playing as ever. love the sax/clarinet solo. mix is nice and airy, maybe in the solo bit you'd wanna pull the guitar back a little, or at least automate some EQ to take some of those high-mids out. also not feeling the kick sound. but otherwise a fantastic little gem!

One of the very best renditions of this beautiful tune that I have heard. Love the mix, love the orchestration. And the performance? As always, perfection.

This message has been recorded by the NSA and you have been flagged for an audit by the IRS. If you're doing any farming down there in LA, expect a visit from the EPA, and OSHA will inspect your setup at your next live gig to make sure it's a safe work environment. Welcome to Ameritopia Comrade! But don't worry, it's not a conspiracy? That would be crazy... Only coincidence...

An absolutely beautiful rendition of this song Frank!!!! The US (America) is still beautiful and would be even better if we could just learn to get along with each other. I agree with Malcolm, the performance is perfection.

You're going to be targeted by the IRS pushing this patriotic music. The next thing you will be pushing God and Country openly!  Very nice Frank, I will salute you! Daryl

Thank you Mark... those are excellent suggestions, and I really appreciate them... I'll probably upload a re-mix tomorrow...

"would be even better if we could just learn to get along with each other" You're right Freddy, what's a few hundred million wire taps and audits between friends? That's it, I'm hosting my own occupy movement. Occupy my pants! (not you Fred) Only a very exclusive list of protesters will be allowed to participate (please enclose recent photo.)
I'm still a sucker for a good patriotic song though, I've been thinking about doing an acapella version of the Anthem.

Sounds great Notnat, I can't comment on the mix because I don't know enough about mixing, but this sounds great to my ears.
Great playing all the way around on all instruments!!
I enjoyed hearing this,

Great mix and obviously great playing. You are talented. I also appreciated the subtle organ in the background. Tastefully done.

mids around 2-5k too much I'd pull back - aside from that this is a gem!!

Frank, that's a great rendition and just in time for the 4th. It's always a joy to hear your music. My only suggestion would be to beef up the sax, but if not, then this stands on its own anyway. Hope you have a great and productive summer.

Nice one Frank. Gotta say though, the guit track seems to drag to me. Like you just learned it and weren't sure of it, or you tracked it to a click and then laid the bed, or you were just tired (or depressed). Hard to be uplifted by the state of this country at the moment I guess. Maybe it's cause I'm on the laptop (it was made in China). All that said, I still liked it...... edit: Ok, re-listened and I take it all back... Above comment was pre re-mix. I think you changed the guit on the 6/12 remix. Sounds great. Ya know, it would all be laughable if it wasn't so sad how the words of this great anthem have no meaning in today's society.

Thanks Clint, Bobby, and Reboagni for the nice words... Darren... I tried out your suggestions on this last overall mix, but was not happy with the result... I did filter out some of the mids on the guitars and I think that was an improvement... Thanks for the help... After listening again this morning, I think the guitars may be a little loud... and the soprano-sax could maybe come up a bit... Thanks for that Lynn... Also, I agree with Timbo... I was, "just learning the guitar parts", and they are dragging here & there... (grin;-) so maybe I should re-play them... Thanks Tim...

love the guitar sound.....
all the performances are great!
mixwise, give that sax solo the same level you gave the opening guitar, because it feels like the level drops off precipitously when the sax comes in.
it's a touchy-feely thing

I don't know Tim... I think your first impression may be more accurate... I also agree with your apparent sadness over today's society... I do fear for our republic... anyway thanks for the good ears and advice...

Frank,
Beautiful rendition. The sax is buried too deep in the mix though, it sounds mufffled and very low in the mix. Guitar sounds amazing...
Regards
