Bapu decided that he was going to remix this song, which was the first tune I completed in Sonar and posted here in Songs.  While Ed was visiting here in May he picked up my vintage Gibson L50 and re-recorded the acoustic guitar track, and upon his return to California, got his incredibly talented and versatile son, Jason, to add a mandolin part in the choruses.  Oh, and then he added a much improved drum track, as well as re-recorded his bass part and mixed the whole thing way better than my maiden mix.  It’s good to have talented friends .
 
Anyway, we like the way it came out, and hope you all will enjoy it too.  It’s the second song down on my Soundclick page.

Hi, Phil and Ed,

I remember loving this gem when I first heard it way back when, and it really sounds great this time around, too!

Really cool songwriting and lyrics, all of the instruments and playing sound excellent, and the vocals are truly fantastic.  The mix is clear, wide and pro sounding.

Dynamite work, gents!

Yep, well done guys...this sounds really great on my end too! I love the vibe of this....kinda reminds me of a scary sounding Beatles version of Come Together in that verse part. VERY cool guys! :)
