A terrific number Kev.  It belongs on CMT -- do you have a video   ;>)   If things were switched around just a bit (tempo, instrumentation, etc.)  you would have a great British Invasion pop number circa 1964.  Great lyrics which fit the melody perfectly.  Your vocals are spot on!  Excellent job.

Hey MARK . . .
THANK YOU Mark for giving both versions a listen.  The kind words are greatly appreciated.

Hello SCOTTY . . .
I couldn't agree more on the Dynaudio's.  THANKS much for the ears.

Hey FREDDY . . .
Nope . . . no video.  I have a hard enough time learning this recording mumbo jumbo.   British Invasion number hmmmmmm . . .THANKS for the idea.  


THANKS MUCH
Kev

This is still good? But I think we all need to ask ourselves? WWJD?  What Would Jobby do? 

WWJD

Very well done Kev! Really nicely written song, reminds me of Paul Simon a little. As a preference I might pull those wide panned guitars further in and add a little more reverb or delay, just to push the vocs up front a bit more.

Hey JAMES . . .
THANK YOU and I do hear what you are saying.  I'm also hearing other issues that could use a bit of polishing.

THANKS MUCH
Kev

Kev - this is a cool tune.  I think the tempo is just fine the way you have it.  The mix sounds nice a clear.  Your Vocals have a great tone.  One thing to consider would be to tighten up the background vocals.  The bgv and lead vocals are a little out of sync in a couple spots.  Sounds like a nice improvement from the earlier recording.

Hey GENO . . .
A little out of sync . . .your being very nice.  THANK YOU very much for the props and ears.

You always do such nice work.  I really like the song and production.  Made me think of Rick "No How".  I remember when you posted this song before(first mix).  I didn't go back and listen because I'm trying to use the time this flu allows me to be active.  You're a really good guy, Kev, and you do REALLY good music, even though you are a part time grinch.  :-)

Hello Warren . . .
Glad to see ya!  The flu has been popular this year.  Your about the 9th person I know  who is fighting it.  THANK YOU for giving the new mix a listen/props.  To this day my cover of the GRINCH is the most listen to song I've recorded.  I hope you feel better and get back to making some music.

THANKS AGAIN
Kev
