You do such a good job at getting that old 50's or 60's guitar sound. This is a good one!

Hey Robby -- interesting video -- I missed that movie though.  We must be talking about different stuff?  Although, I am easily confused!?    :>)
Hi Clint.  I appreciate you taking the time to listen and thanks for the kind comments.

Hi Freddy, this is a pleasant surprise as it shows your versatility as a songwriter.  I thought the vocals are blended quite well and have heft, though, that's just my personal taste.  The only thing that caught my attention was the lack of bass guitar in the mix.  The drums are there and well mixed, but I missed the opposing pull of the bass.  I hear a one note pattern where a walking pattern might be interesting.  However, this song is still a gem, and I will be listening several more times.

Wish I could get that 60's harmony vibe so well.  Very cool!  Only gripe is the drums sound a bit program-y (mainly the fast snare fills).  Otherwise that was a real cool tune.

Reminds me of the old Bob & Joe Shelton song from way, way back. Sounds very good. Enjoyed the listen.

Hi Lynn:  Thanks for the great feedback.  I get what you are saying about the bass on this song.  I became a bit enthralled by the bass drum in this song.  There is a bass guitar in this song but I was trying to blend it to the bass drum.  I guess rather than complementing or countering the bass drum it became swallowed up by it.  Thanks again.
 
Hi Scott:  Thanks for the kind comments.  I use mostly loops for drums and one of the headaches that I have is trying to match fills with the main beats.  Most of the time your choices are limited and don't do what you would like them to do.  I am not competent enough right now on programming drums ---- but ---- I'm working on it.
 
Thanks for the listen and feedback Chas.  I had to look up and listen to the Bob and Joe version of the old song Just Because. It was a great listen.  Those guys had some great harmonies didn't they.  Thanks for bringing them to my attention.
