Thanks Geno.

Janet- Thanks for the kind words.  That's really very flattering.

I like the "I had so many side effects I couldn't fit em on one verse" I woulda said 'in' one verse but it's still a great line. I like the drums, I can picture him slammin it. It is a depressing topic but the sludgy beat fits it perfectly. Cool tune.

 I didn't hear the original but the remix is great.

Equality- Thanks, glad you liked it.

Ed- Thanks for the listen and the kind words.  I actually did sing "...fit 'em all in one verse," so I guess I've gotta' start watching my ennunciation a little more .

Jan- Thanks for dropping in for us.

I thought I had commented on this one already, as I know I listened to it before.

This is just so out there, yet right here at the same time. Love that keyboard outro too.

I would like to play with you guys on a tune sometime, but I am not that good compared to y'all! These boys can play.


Ed: nice use of Am!

Wow, this is awesome!  Excellent performances and production is top notch too!

Well this is nothing but GOOD. I think everyone over the age of 50 can relate very well, laff. I have meds for my meds! I have never understood (well actually I do) why pharmacutical companies direct market to the end user... the late Bear Owsley had an essay on this that put forth the idea that all drug problems come from two things... government prohibition and advertising, and it makes a lot of sense. I love it when I get a med that has a list of possible side effects as long as my arm and of course sudden death is usually one of them. There have been meds that I have looked at and then told the Dr., "Are you crazy? I ain't takin' this".
I have also seen my life flash before my eyes... it happens just like a slot machine, just rolls by... top to bottom (of course it could have had something to do with 16 purple microdots)... life flashed by and in 15 minutes I went form flying to straight... weirdness, stay away from that 5hit.
 
Yeah, your song got me thinking... it is really good. You got everything right, even the tempo. What are you a professional?       
 
Really, nice work!!!!!!!!!! Relative to culture and well, just good. Reminds me a little of Sy Klopps Blues Band: Walter Ego. Consider this a rave review!!

Bumped for the holiday!!!

Ha, this was several logins ago for me?

I think it's gotten better. It's nice to have sweet/vintage instruments. My instruments are like my children, but they never dissapoint? I must admit, I don't hear a mandolin? (and I play the mandolin? It's a cool instrument)

This has a Led Zep "Houses of the holy" vibe to it with the strings in places, but then it switches up. The snare is maybe a little too agressive in spots, but I'm listening on buds, so slight mix comments should be taken with salt (like a Margarita?)

Freddy- Always loved "Come Together" so that's a fine compliment for which we thank you.

John- Yeah, Ed has learned to play real nice with those toys.  Thanks!

Jan- Thanks for coming upstairs for a listen.

Chas- Yes sir, those were cellos.  Thanks for the kind words.

Definitely my pleasure.  

Ed- Thanks for the holiday bump... you devil you :-)

Lynn- Thank you.

Robby- Hey, how ya' doin'?  Thanks for listening, and where can I get this margarita of which you speak?

Tim-  Thanks for the listen and comments.  I'm curious where you heard the the doubled vocs off, 'cause it got past both Ed and I (no big deal... if you get a chance).

Daryl- Thanks for the kind words.

Rockin'!  Cool arrangement.

Daryl

Daryl- Thanks, glad you liked.

Philip-  Not sure why Ed dragged this out again (holiday tradition perhaps), but I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it so much. 

Craig- Hey, thanks, I'll take that Joe Walsh comparison.  Eager to see that new ax when it's finished.

Hi Phil,

I almost passed this by 'cause I thought it was a holiday specific tune and I was away during the 4th. 

Glad I didn't, though. Sounds great, man! Love the groove and the cello parts...

Production/arrangement and performances all sound excellent from here!
