Thank you, George for sticking with this.  I very much appreciate your comments and time.  I love the song you did with your daughter!

Thanks, guys.  I appreciate your time and response.

Hi, Mark.  These are great ideas, and I will put them to use.  It fabulous to have your ears helping me, as well as all the others sets of ears that have given me advice.  Stay tuned!

Mark, I added a touch of reverb to the snare and took your suggestion about the predelay.  I used the rich sounding room preset in Rematrix Solo.  And, to those who've requested a harmonica, well.... you asked for it.  I couldn't get John Mayall, so you have to settle for me.  It's been 25 years, and I'm a little rusty, but here's a taste of mediocre harp playing.  I hope I don't offend any real harp players.  The good news is, I can keep working on this forever.  Thanks again to all who have contributed!

Hey Lynn - First listen tonight. Can't compare the old way with the new way, but this is dynamite. You can stop tweaking any time, buddy.

Mix has greatly improved from the first I heard this. Blues harp is a wonderful touch. Got all the fixin's now. Serious tasty Blues tune here.

Just listened to the latest version...  All I can say is that it shows you've been listening to KWS and JL: The arrangement, performances and mix are all right there.   Them's some good stuff.  
 

Steve and Walt, I really appreciate your kind words and time.  I was fortunate enough to see Johnny Lang a few years ago at the Voodoo Lounge in Kansas City.  It was a transformative experience.  I hope you and everyone else have a great 4th of July weekend.

Grand new mix Lynn. A lot going on in this that I didn't hear before.

Nice one Lynn. I've been listening to a lot of Joe Bonamassa lately and this is right in that ballpark. Harmonica is very tasty and perfectly placed.. I'd like to hear your stuff at a better streaming quality than SC provides, I don't think it does your mixes justice.

Lynn, SoundClick lets you upload 320kps file, if you have a paid account, which I believe you have, so go for it today!!
Your welcome!!
 
Peace and Blessings, John

John, thanks for listening again.  Actually, I don't have a paid account to Soundclick, so that's probably why I'm using 246K.  I'll have to look into this.  I'd use Soundcloud, but I don't like the way they automatically play another song after the one you posted.  Often, the two songs that play back to back aren't even in the same genre.  Anyway, thanks, again, for encouraging me to play the harp after all these years.

Hey Lynn!
 
SoundCloud: I've had pretty good results with SoundCloud myself.  I upload high res WAV files (not MP3).  They ultimately stream at 128kbps, but the difference is with some other services where you upload an encoded MP3, it then gets RE-encoded as 128kbps, so in effect, it's compressed twice.  This is bad for the music.  At least with SoundCloud, my WAV uploads are not not double-encoded. ;)
 
BandCamp: https://bandcamp.com/help/audio_basics
They also default to 128kbps streaming, but can also do VBR streams.  Also, when you download a song or album from BandCamp, they can deliver it in many formats, including WAV, lossless FLAC, ALAC, AAC, OGG, 320kbps MP3, and more.
 
Bottom line is streaming is great for demos, but downloads will provide higher fidelity if that's your goal.  BandCamp is great for high fidelity downloads.

I have got quite used to SoundCloud and it is my favourite hosting service at the moment. It's a shame about the streaming bit rate but because I never intend selling my music, I always make my tracks downloadable, which I upload at 320kbps (although for some reason this fact is overlooked by a majority of my "many" *ahem* listeners).
