I dug it James! The unexpected change ups are pulled off rather well like.

James - this is really cool - you are talented on so many different levels. I'm never sure what to expect fom you - but whatever it is - it's magnificent - and this certainly is that.
 
Love it bro.

Wow James, you nailed it and then some, I am MOST impressed! Listening again.....
I too caught some Zappa-esque influence in there but the overall feel is Dan to the max (I'm a huge Dan fan), indeed, at first I thought Fagen was guesting on the vocal.
I could go on and on, but I'd rather listen again.
Superb job bud!!!

lol...you hit the target on the James...that lil bridge was killer before the stop and pop. I hear what you were saying on your chops but only because I am a fan-boy and i know what you can do....but to be honest it didnt' at all hurt this tune until the ending "again and again" part...
 
Great job on the arraignment and I am sure it was a PITA but heck...it was the lifeblood of this tune.
 
Glad you found time to jump in and play/record which I always enjoy!! Great job...
 
Hope you're well bro.
 

Thanks Lynn. Your ideas weren't used, but they did inspire me to go in the direction I did. As always, I appreciate your input.

Thank Tom. It was a long time coming with this track, and I think I just finished it out of exhaustion.

SD was so good at recording that the mixing was probably the easiest part of the process.
 
I've said it before:  it confounds me how so many people comment on his influence on my stuff despite the fact I never listened to Zappa!

James,
  That is quite a tune.  The vocals are so SD it gave me chills.  Great tribute with a lot of cool twists, what fun.  Sounded great on my system!  WOW is way too much of an understatement for this thing but I can't even find enough words to go there.  Great work!
