Sounding much better James.

There are still a few timing issues, but once you get more practice in i'm sure you will get back to your best.

Some vocals would really take this to another level.

 Guitars sound pretty good. The drums are not bad, not sure if this is the MIDI controller you were talking about a while ago or real drums. I have a Simmons drum controller and I've given up trying to get a natural sounding performance out of it, so much editing to do afterwards, it is not much more effort to just go ahead and score it in piano view.

 I guess what I'm trying to say is James, if that's who you really are ;) , not sure how good your MIDI controller is, but if it's anything like mine, you could get a more natural performance captured by just using the sticks to beat on any old thing mic it and use a drum replacement program or convert it to midi in Sonar then put your drum program on. 

 Decent performance here, but if you find you are not getting the results that you played. No amount of practice in the world is going to make up for it. After talking with Danny a while ago about it, I have the impression you really need to spend a lot of coin to get a good drum controller, more than what a standard set would cost.

         Thanks John , just got back from spending my afternoon in the hospital .
         Been having alot of numbness issues in my face ,neck , I was worried I
         might be having some sort of a TIA ( Mini Stroke ) . Last week my exwife
         said the right side of my lip was drooping slightly , with that and this
         numbness I decided I better go to the hospital and have some test done .
         They did a CT scan on my head , EKG on my heart again , blood work and
         scanned my throat & neck artries for blockages leading to my brain .
         Lucky for me everything looked ok , not sure whats causing the numbness
         could be a pinch nerve in my lower back .
         Always something but atleased I know now I'm not in any danger of having
         a stroke so in a way it was worth having all those test done on me today .
 
         Yea its not perfect by any means , I didn't expect to get back in shape over
         night . Its going to take a good year to really get back in shape , losing some
         weight will help too because right now I weight too much .
 
 
         Thanks - James

         Thanks , I was playing a electronic Yamaha drum set a cheap inexpensive
         model . Its more of a practice kit for basic drumming but hey for $500.00
         its not all that bad .
         I'm sure if it was a $1,000.00 kit it would sound better , this kit has some
         issues when hitting the crash cymbals . Sometimes the sound goes almost
         dead , could be the triggers in the pads for this entry level kit .
         What can I say it is what it is , maybe someday I will be able to afford a
         more expensive electronic kit .
 
 
         Thanks for the listen - James
