hey Frank, great playing as ever. love the sax/clarinet solo. mix is nice and airy, maybe in the solo bit you'd wanna pull the guitar back a little, or at least automate some EQ to take some of those high-mids out. also not feeling the kick sound. but otherwise a fantastic little gem!


Thank you Mark... those are excellent suggestions, and I really appreciate them... I'll probably upload a re-mix tomorrow...

"would be even better if we could just learn to get along with each other" You're right Freddy, what's a few hundred million wire taps and audits between friends? That's it, I'm hosting my own occupy movement. Occupy my pants! (not you Fred) Only a very exclusive list of protesters will be allowed to participate (please enclose recent photo.)
 
I'm still a sucker for a good patriotic song though, I've been thinking about doing an acapella version of the Anthem.

One of the very best renditions of this beautiful tune that I have heard. Love the mix, love the orchestration. And the performance? As always, perfection.
 


Thanks for the feedback Malcolmb... really glad you liked it...

  Sounds great Notnat, I can't comment on the mix because I don't know enough about mixing, but this sounds great to my ears. 
 
Great playing all the way around on all instruments!!
 
I enjoyed hearing this,

Great mix and obviously great playing. You are talented. I also appreciated the subtle organ in the background. Tastefully done.

Love the chords and progressions used.


Thanks Herb...  I did this for the the Martin Agency (WalMart spot) but they passed on it...

mids around 2-5k too much I'd pull back - aside from that this is a gem!!

An absolutely beautiful rendition of this song Frank!!!!  The US (America) is still beautiful and would be even better if we could just learn to get along with each other.  I agree with Malcolm, the performance is perfection.


Thanks Freddy & thanks again Robby...

Frank, that's a great rendition and just in time for the 4th.  It's always a joy to hear your music.  My only suggestion would be to beef up the sax, but if not, then this stands on its own anyway.  Hope you have a great and productive summer.
