Loco Motion

I wrote and recorded this with the Geronimo Cowboys in 2008. At the time I was trying to write an entire cd of 60's music. I ended up burning out on that about 6 songs into it.
 
So, those tunes have been sitting in mothballs since 2008. Here's one of them.
 
Loco Motion
 
Thanks for taking a listen.

Well, you finished half a CD, so that's worth something!  :)

Glad to see you around again.  And this sounds so cool!  Nice and laid back feel.  That synth is great!  Love the harmonies.

Retiring?  Cool!  :-)  That was a guitar?  Oops...I missed that one. 

nicely done bro

Mark, you dog!!  This is great!  Is that Mike doing the harmonies?  Very  nicely done.  Hey, it's time for us to get back to work, huh?  Are you doing all the instruments?  I would guess, yes!  Wonderful feel to this.

This is an astonishing curve-ball ... vocs and psychedelia instruments have sprouted!  The Woodstock and 60's were a great thing, IMHO.

The vibe and feel is a bit wavy ... with the musical waves rolling in and out.  This would suit me better to enhance sensual events (a sensual-events enhancer) -- haha.

Anyway, due to the dreamy vox content (in my vox-centric universe), this is my fav of yours to date.

ME likey likey this alot.

I love the sound of this Mark... Very nice indeed...
Well done...

 
  When I read what you say about getting burnt out during, or at some point during the
putting together of all this it reminds me of a couple of cd's that I had done years ago. One was
a sort of christain rythem and blues and the other was a sort of pop or James tayler type matereil.
 
I had them up on a web site and all but later took them down because they just weren't up to
standards in a way of sounding "good" or something that I wouldn't feel a need to make
excuses for what I think is less than good enough quality. Most of the "Pop" soft rock type songs
that I speak of have been and or are on my soundclick as forum members here have given feedback,
suggestions etc to aid in raising the bar on the quality of the final outcome of each song.
 
   I pretty much reached a point (on those songs) where I felt like "more was needed" such as
re doing lots of things, so for the moment they are once again on "the back burner". (Everyone
did an awesome job on feedback) (but) I needed to re arange, re mix etc to do a better job
on the final outcome.
 
  In your case here even though the "era" subject is at hand this song has such a "something new"
about its' "production", such as the ways that sometimes an old song is done even with maybe an
old style type of "presentation" (but) something is different in ways that it has a cool and "creative"
charactor to it.
 
  The "guitar" performance, tone, mix arrangment etc really shows the talent in the contributions that
the guitar work does for the song. It's something that I enjoy listening to as a guitarist and
appreciate what and how things are done. It's inspiring. That is very noteworthy. I enjoy things like this
being availible to listen to.
 
  And I speak from a "value" point of view in saying this. If I had (someone over) and we were talking
"shop talk" mixing, guitar tones etc this would be one of those tunes where I could/would say hey!
check this out (he gets some cool sounds).
