    It worked for me bruddah!!
     
    Interesting song here Bill....certainly something different from your usual and not quite sure what to make of it. I could imagine this being an excellent movie soundtrack for a themed "sleepless night/insomnia" etc.....sorry, that's what came to mind....lol.
    Anyway, it sounded good to my ears and enjoyed the different guitar tones.
     
    More......more.....more!!!  :)

    I liked it!  Should be called "Mushrooms" though.  And your drummer needs to sober up and play to a click;-)

    Thanks for taking the time to listen guys! It was fun. I needed to do something after all the medical problems from 2015. I'm finally back to playing some every day. 
     
    P.S. The loose "time" is there in most of my songs. I love to play ahead and behind the beat in phrasing. If the time is strict I loosen it on all the instruments. They are all "not quite with the time" for the feel I like. I don't loop and or copy anything or repeat sections from the chorus etc.
    I have fun!

    Thanks Lynn! It felt good to do something finally. To be able to do something!  I'm rusty. 
     
    My first posted recording with Platinum. I have to edit etc. and repost this song again

    Hi Bill.  I'm glad to see you back on the forum and I hope 2016 is a more healthful year for you.
     
    About the song ----- MAN, I love it.  It has a sort-of-jazzy feel to it but with a real edge.  I wish commercial radio would play more instrumentals and instrumentals with a strong lead guitar presence.  The guitar lead accents that you have put in this number are wonderful.
     
    If you have listened to a lot of Blues, you probably have noticed that many of the old Blues guys (especially Delta and early Chicago electric) played before, after, and all around the beat.  That is what made them so doggone interesting.  If you are working around the beat on this number, maybe that is why this song sounds so cool.
     
    Great stuff Bill.  I'll be listening to this number more!!

    I've played in bands where the drummer had waaay worse timing than this. This ain't bad a'tall.

    Thanks Freddie! Great hearing from you! This song was fun to put together. I played it the way that felt right and that's not keeping strict time. I did that on Storm with the slide etc. parts. That's where I got the idea on this one. I love playing before, after, and all around the beat. On NOW all the instruments were played that way together. I like that sound of it. 
     
    Tim - I wrote it for my Grandson but after he left. He came down from St. Louis for the weekend and I gave him my Ibanez Prestige with a decade worth of instruction to take back with him. Thanks for listening!
     
    Thanks Tom! It's good to be back! I played with a drummer once that start a tune at about 120 bpm and by then of the song it was about 144. I didn't work with him again
