February 9, 2013  ----  WMNF's 10th Annual Rockabilly Ruckus.  I may be square but I was there.  Some good bands and music, and those cat were layin' down some hot licks.  I only stayed to see about 4 or 5 of the bands but I did get inspired to listen to more rockabilly when I got home.  All that listening resulted in the number linked below.  It is nothing too heavy or certainly not an artistic masterpiece.  After all it is rockabilly and it's supposed to be fun.  I hope it gets you to boppin' and maybe brings on a smile.
 
As always comments, crit's, and suggestions will be appreciated.  Thanks for listening.

Bahahahaha.. nice. Mix wise, either bring the drums up, or the bass down. Right now it sounds like you have stuck the poor drummer way to the back of the stage all by his lonesome.

I agree with the shadow, the drums are buried. 

Flathead Ford :-) It is a true piece of Americana...

Hi Shad:  Thanks for the input.  I moved the drummer's kit up to the front of the stage a bit.  Does this work any better?
 
Hey Scotty, how are you?  I very much appreciate the feedback.
 
Hello Robby!!!  I hear ya.  I pumped the drums up a bit.  Hopefully, this is better.  Thanks for pointing this out.
 
Hi Mark.  I'm glad you enjoyed it buddy.  Thanks for the kind words.
 
Thank you Frank.  I kinda like the genre myself.  It is even better when you hear it live.  I'm partial to rhythm and good rockabilly is nothing but rhythm ---  except for the rest of it  ;>)

"Except for the rest of it" - lol - I like that. I may use that, hope you don't mind. The drums are close. I might go a smidge more... not too much, but a smidge. I just love the way this grabs you from bar one.
