I haven’t paid this forum a visit in a long time, and I see a few of my old pals are still around. In fact this is the first recording I’ve finished in a couple of years that I thought was worth sharing. I think it’s a funny tale, and I hope you all enjoy it.

I do lead vox, guitars, bass, organ and Jammer drums. Backing vocals by Stephanie Courter (we got married last spring after 19 years of unwedded bliss) and Danielle Huffman. Of course, I hope to hear some comments on the mix, but with this disclaimer: on the mp3 all I can hear of the drum track is the kick and toms, some cymbal. I worked a while on it, but haven’t come up with a solution to the missing snare and hihat. So I’m aware of that problem, but how do you like the rest of it?

I look forward to hearing from my old friends, and making some new ones

Hey mark!  good to see you again!
 
yeah, the mix needs a little TLC, but I like the tune and the performances!

Welcome back, Courter. Great job by the missus on the BGV's. On my monitors, the kick's a little pushy but sounds nice so I'd just turn it down a dB or two. 

Fellas, I appreciate the feedback. I usually have to bully Steph into singing, the positive remarks will help give her some confidence.
about the lead guitar: I was going for that cleanish single coil, almost glassy tone, but I may have to reconsider. I'm glad to hear the drums don't sound too bad. And someone liked my organ! I'm a real newbie on keys, so that's really encouraging.
Good to see some of the oldtimers here.

Hello Bob, good to hear from you. At this point I'm thinking about redoing the lead guitar, without really changing anything. Wow! My own recognizable style! I think that's a good thing. Thanks for the comments.

Hey there Mark, not my favorite from you sir. The chords, the vocals, the mix? There's room for work, but you worked on it and posted it, so good job on the effort.  And I enjoy any tune with a B3 in the mix.                                                                           

Good to see you back here Mark, most everything that needs to be said has been said so I will not reiterate, the one thing that really stood out to me is that apart from a couple of little breaks it sounded very narrow.  Backing vox was very good.
 
Thanks for sharing.
