Great song Freddy! I think you nailed that 60's feel. It sounds as if it could have been made back then. The guitars are well done. I might work with the harmonies just a little to get them tighter. It seemed like just a few places here and there they could maybe be tuned a slight amount..nothing that stuck out much. I enjoyed the listen!

Hi Freddy. This is sixties alright - I think you nailed it. Strange to hear you play anything other than blues - but you did this really well.
 
This was great fun to listen to - bet it was fun to record.

There's some non-trivial dissonance in the vocals in places Freddy.

First of all I'm sorry for the delay in responding.  A family medical event (all is well that ends well) demanded my attention and as I am sure you will agree family trumps all.  We have also had two sets of visitors to our humble abode (Gee - it must be winter up north lol).
 
Thank you Gus.  I appreciate your taking the time to listen and the kind words.
 
Hi Antti.  Thanks for you kind comments.
 
Hey Tom.  Thanks for the feedback and kind offer.  I very much appreciate it.   As I really don't know what I am doing with mixing, I will take you up on your kind offer.  I'll be sending you an e-mail now that the visiting crowd has gone.
 
Thank you my furry friend (Wookie).  I have never known your fuzzy ears to fail.  I would like to have less of the sharp digital sound and more of the round sounds of analog.  Since I don't know what I am doing in this area I am going to count on Tom helping me out.
 
Hi Warren.  I saw a biography about Tom Dowd (Atlantic recording engineer/producer and wizard).  Most of his work was done prior to digital and multi-track studios.  It was amazing what they were able to produce given the limited resources.  Thanks for taking time to listen and for your comments.
 
Hi Lynn.  I appreciate your comments and suggestions.  I have listened a number of times but my tired old ears can't quite hear the off-pitch harmony.  Since I doubt my own ability in these things I asked the lady next door who teaches this stuff to give it a listen.  I now have my doubts about her ability, since she commented that she heard it slightly but it was not enough to worry about?  I know you are good but now I am not so sure about her.  So, I will try giving it a re-do and if that doesn't work I think I will just back off a slight bit on the volume for the low harmony.  Thanks again for the suggestions.
 
Hey Ben.  Thanks for the suggestions.  I hope that my re-work might address this.  Normally, I take suggestions and apply them to whatever new thing that I am working on but I kind of like this song and I would like to get it right.
 
Thank you Joshua.  I appreciate your comments.
 
Hi Steve.  Thanks for listening.  I got the message about the harmony in the last chorus and will try to remedy it.
 
Thank you Tim.  I appreciate the kind comments and hopefully will be able to address the issues.
 
Hey Mark.  This indeed was a fun song to do.  The Blues is still at the center of my heart but every once in a while one has to cut loose with something different.  This must be one of those times  ;>)   Thanks for the kind comments buddy.
 
Hi Heywood.  Thanks for the heads-up

Could easily be from the era - agree on that harmony being a little off
