You're going to be targeted by the IRS pushing this patriotic music.  The next thing you will be pushing God and Country openly!
 
Very nice Frank, I will salute you!

IRS target... I'd like to think I'd wear it as badge of honor... 
You never know...
 
Thanks buddy...

 
 

Nice one Frank. Gotta say though, the guit track seems to drag to me. Like you just learned it and weren't sure of it, or you tracked it to a click and then laid the bed, or you were just tired (or depressed). Hard to be uplifted by the state of this country at the moment I guess. 
 
Maybe it's cause I'm on the laptop (it was made in China). 
All that said, I still liked it......
 
edit: Ok, re-listened and I take it all back... Above comment was pre re-mix.
I think you changed the guit on the 6/12 remix. Sounds great.
Ya know, it would all be laughable if it wasn't so sad how the words of this great anthem have no meaning in today's society.

Thanks Clint, Bobby, and Reboagni for the nice words...
Darren... I tried out your suggestions on this last overall mix, but was not happy with the result...
I did filter out some of the mids on the guitars and I think that was an improvement... Thanks for the help...
After listening again this morning, I think the guitars may be a little loud... and the soprano-sax could maybe come up a bit... Thanks for that Lynn...
Also, I agree with Timbo... I was, "just learning the guitar parts", and they are dragging here & there... (grin;-) so maybe I should re-play them...  Thanks Tim...   

love the guitar sound.....
 
all the performances are great!
 
mixwise, give that sax solo the same level you gave the opening guitar, because it feels like the level drops off precipitously when the sax comes in.
 
it's a touchy-feely thing

Frank - this is gorgeous.

I don't know Tim... I think your first impression may be more accurate...
I also agree with your apparent sadness over today's society... I do fear for our republic... 
anyway thanks for the good ears and advice...

Frank - this is gorgeous.

Thanks Mark...
I just got my 1st letter from the IRS...

Hate when that happens.
 
Yea, you could redo it or,,,,,,,,, nudge it.....

listening again...similar crits...guitar sounds a bit smoother now, but still need to bring up that sax a little. drums are perfect. i like the slightly behind the beat guitar take....;-)

Frank,
 
Beautiful rendition.   The sax is buried too deep in the mix though, it sounds mufffled and very low in the mix.  Guitar sounds amazing...
