I think we must have played the same clubs in the past.    Cool tune, clever lyrics.

Great tune Chas. Somethin's not right with the timing though. I think mainly from what I heard, the vocs were off time. It's almost like you nudged them for some reason. Best part of the tune to me were the lyrics.

Warrenlee, thanks for listening. Glad you liked it.

Daryl, we may have played some of the same clubs. Played a bunch of them in TX. Thanks for listening and your comments.

timidi, the timing may be the guitar. In another forum a guy had pointed out the guitar fills in a couple of places. I had played that way intentionally in one instance in the name of "feeling." Maybe it isn't coming across that way? Thought I had cleared the other instance up. Will give it another look. Haven't moved the vocal in any manner. To me the vocal is OK, timing wise. Thanks for listening and your comments.

I love the song, Chas, and your performance was right on, though, the guitar tone was a little too distorted for my taste.  The lyrics are clever and witty, and your voice was perfect.  Well done.

Well performed.

The lead vox is a tad dry for my taste, but that is just a taste thing. 


The licks on the right (piano) seem a tad to loud to me.


Other than those teeny tiny nits, great song. Fun romp.

Lynn, thanks for listening. Glad you like the song.

Bapu, thanks for listening and your comments. I used an Izotope Nectar preset on the vocal. Just used what they had.

Guitarhacker, Thanks a lot. I've been in (and played in) many of those smoky hole in the wall joints.

You have a lot of personality and presence that comes across well in this song. I think its great how you just seem to let it out so freely. I was going to comment on the structure a bit, but by the end, I decided it was fine. The mix has some bad phasing issues on the vocals.. it sounds like low bit rate mp3 compression squak. The rest of the mix is not how I would mix it, but at the same time, seems to work well with the song, so no comment there either.

foxwolfen, thanks for listening and your comments. Definitely like your comments on how the vocal is sung.   Don't really understand your comments on the phasing issue of the vocals. Not studio quality, I'll admit, but there's no issues there AFAIC. But will take a look at it again. Always like to hear how others view my song.
