Michael... you really don't remember playing on this...?
Your way-cool-repeating-hotlicks can be heard during the last verse, and during the slide solo... I wonder if you remember the other project we worked on together... Chick Corea tune...
I believe you suggested that one too...

... 

Frank please except my apology. I don't remember playing on it.
I remember I had a hard time with the "feel" on Spain. I couldn't find the groove...I
remember mentioning that to you when trying to record my take. I haven't heard it since but
figure I blew that one and you trashed my part LOL.
 
I did listen to CS again last night trying to hear something to trigger my memory...it's just
not there. I did hear something in the last of it coming from the center that I thought may
be me but couldn't tell. Anyway....I believe you LOL.
 
Maybe we can do something again sometime....personally I'm ready for summer....maybe, Summertime (George Gershwin ) with a little speedier head rockin' attitude?
I can hear you rippin that apart! ( and me forgetting mine LOL)

Michael please... no apology necessary... listening again, your part is virtually buried under 2 acoustic-guitars, 1 Strat, 1 Tele, 2 Wurleys, an acoustic-Piano, a Hammond, 2 slide-guitars, Drums, Congas, Bongos & Bass...
No wonder you can't hear your part... much less remember what you played two or three years ago...
I can hear it though, because I love it, and it's the perfect part, and I'm definitely keepin' it for the re-write...

Summertime... for real... I'll be in touch...

Wow. Just when I thought I was getting there. This sets me way back. Lol.
Very nice production and performances. A killer. Love this stuff.

Fantastic production and playing!  Very nice sounding track.  It's warm and inviting.

I like the vocal effects. Sound is pretty tight here. Well done. Write a new song Frank, not new lyrics to somebody else's. JMO.

Hey Frank. In all seriouslyness and all joking aside and no jesting, The song is done.. 

For you to write new lyrics and melody would sort of be like blasfannyfammy or somethin.
Maybe.

Maybe not.

This song sounds so good I can hardly stand it. Really, everything is so good....wow.

 thanks chuckebaby... always good to hear from another picker... 

Thanks Robby... Dobro is a good thing... I have several resonator guitars, but only one real Dobro dobro, a round neck, steel-body, fiddle-edge, from the 30's... I play it wrong though... bottleneck style...   

Thanks Lynn... you are a forum treasure... incredably generous...

Thanks Mike... I'm so glad you listened, and liked...
 
Thanks Wookiee... I agree, Spacey's da man...

Noisy Neighbor... thanks Buddy... I like your blues touch too...

 No BapU, not likely... but thanks again for the words...  

Freddy J... You da man... Thanks buddy...

ya.im re-visiting this,no comment this time ,just wanted another listen.

what a mix man.

Well, the tune sounds great, guys.  Ya' even had me girlfriend up and dancin' around.  The mix was spectacular... incredible performances and production.  

I guess I'm not sure why you'd want to write new lyrics over his melody, because wouldn't that still leave you obligated to license if you were using his melody?  If you're gonna' change the melody too, then, of course, you've got yourself a whole new ballgame.

Great track though... I would not hesitate to use on the album as is.

Thanks a bunch Phil... I'm so glad you, and your girlfriend danced & enjoyed this tune... 
BTW... I never said I would use this 3-note melody in the re-write... 
This production actually started out as an original song, and was transformed into this Landreth tune after Michael suggusted it... so, in truth... this song is the re-write...  so there you have it...
