Scotty: Thanks! I tried hard....I know you don't get that fiddle ambience and the bow scrapage (which I love) but you dod the best with what ya have. LOL! :)
Beeps: Well, we could pull off a little DT if you want to. I'm sure I can coax myself into it. LOL! I forgot...about a year ago, I did that song "6 o'clock"....now THAT was a nightmare to play on drums. I have it around here somewhere....I remember having blisters on my hands for a month after learning that one. Hahaha! Yeah, when you're ready, let me know.
Shad: Yeah, I get that too. Sometimes people don't know how to take ya. What I meant by the "hard sell" thing is, I think you're a lot like me. It's rare we just drop in and say "nice job" and leave a post. I think it's cool to give some insight to the creator especially if it's someone you know wants to know the details. I mean granted, you know there are some that really are just enjoying the aspect of creating music so they may not want us to rip their song apart. Some have limited resources....I think it's important to keep that stuff in mind. What sucks is, sometimes you get taken the wrong way when commenting a bit more in depth. It's never EVER been my intent to hurt anyone or deter their progress. I feel you're on the same page as me there as you go out of your way to explain things too when you feel the need.
Thanks for the kind words, I respect your talent too and have been listening to your songs a bit over the months. I only disagreed on the reverb thing because I'm a recovering verb addict. LOL! On my first album, one of the critics mentioned "dude, you put the verb in reverb for crying out loud!" It hurt to hear that...but man, it was so true. So I've been fighting with that for a long time and have since curbed most of it. LOL!
Well yeah, you're stuck with my verbosity....that's just me being me. Hahahaha! I agree on your comments about Philip. I'm a bit envious myself to be honest because he has this uncanny way of just being different and it's become his signature. I'm a bit more straight forward...too polished at times, but that's how I trained myself. I'm glad you think we make a good team...thanks for that. I really enjoy working with him because he's such a pure and genuine soul. He lives for God and totally loves his music and family and it comes out in the music. Knowing the guy personally compared to what most people know of him on the forum....it really can't even be compared.
It's funny...sometimes we send messages to each other saying how happy we are to have met and bonded like we have. We challenge each other in ways that wouldn't happen any other way. I think he challenges me more than I challenge him though. It's good though because it has helped me to grow and expand doing things I would have never done without him being involved. Glad it's coming across that way to you...thanks a lot brother. :) Yeah I know...."brevity Danny, brevity". LOL!
Everytime I make a post to you, I keep thinking of Nestor the long eared Christmas Donkey. He would trip and fall over his ears and his mom would say "ears Nestor". I talk to you, and I keep hearing "brevity Danny". LMAO! :-Þ
Old55: Thanks for the listen, glad you liked it! :)
