A song for the New Year, inspired by the Cakewalk forums - "Your Mileage May Vary"
This started life as a Blues shuffle that I posted here a while back. But 2014 was such a crazy unpredictable year I sat down to write some lyrics and a phrase I see a lot on these forums came to mind; YMMV. It seemed like a natural...hope you enjoy it, and I hope 2015 is one of your best ever. Thanks for listening! http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13010361

I've been down sick but just checked this out. Man, I've heard a lot of good stuff like this down on Halsted Street in Chicago. Wish you were in Phoenix, we'd be doin some jamming. Great lyrics. I've been up here since 2008 and this is the first I've heard about YMMV. We must hang out on different posts.  Impressive job!! BTW, who is the keyboard player/s ?

I love the "two lips on the organ" line! What a hoot. This song may get the grand prize award for 2014. Have a happy and prosperous new year, and give us more songs like this, please.

This is a nicely mixed country song. The song has a lot of energy and that down home country feel to it. Exellent playing!

bg vocals are the TC Helicon? Sounds like a woman! MY GOD! I have a vocalist live 3 by Digitech, but believe or not, I've never even TRIED it for harmonies. I think now I will.
I think I'm gonna come back to this song - I think I'd like to use your hook - with your permission of course. :)

Starise - Thanks a lot, never thought of this as Country, but the genre lines are so blurred these days I guess it could be. Thanks again!
Tom - Appreciate it, it was a lot of fun to do. Heh, I stole that "stop and pop" idea from somebody, can't remember who!
Joshua - Yeah, the gadgets we have today are amazing aren't they? Use whatever you'd like. As I said I got the idea from these forums so it's certainly not all mine. I'll be interested to hear what you come up with. Thanks!
James - Yes, YMMV is a natural isn't it? Once I decided to use it the song mostly wrote itself! Glad you liked the solo, for such a short part I actually spent a disproportionate amount of time on it because I wanted it to be a bit different. Appreciate it!

Oh yeah.... that was cool, daddy-o.  Nice blues shuffle/swing, great playing all around, and the lyrics are spot-on. Good stuff.

I can see Jools Holland giving you a call if his big band could rock this one out like yourself.
Good job!
