Daryl -
Oh keeper of the cool name - I'm a guitar harmony groupie. Thanks.
Shad - You got it, it's supposed to be a wild ride. It's for drivin' not dancin' Thanks.
James - Yea, retirement is like winning the lotto.... but without the money part.
Robbie - I probably should continue to work because of the money and.... nah!
Tap - Thank you. You can never have enough guitar tracks... I think.
Lynn - Thanks on the SD. I think it's going to be a great learning tool.
Blipp - The secret to fluidity (love that word) is to play the song for a LOT. I worte this about 6 years ago or so. But I've played it as part of my practice regiment ever since I wrote it. So when I re-recorded it, I already knew the song pretty well. I did it mostly for the drums and the bass track is better on this, but it's not all that much different from my original recording. But the drums are better and the mix is a bit better too.
Frank - Thank you, it means a lot. I sold another one of your CDs the other day. I didn't sell a copy, I sent them to buy one, which they did, but they had to hit a couple of sites to find one in stock. Yes it is "retro" - Rockabilly Surf Jazz. Actually it would be a great tune for Brian Setzer, who would do a way better job on it.
Mike - Thanks. That's encouraging because I sure have a lot of respect for your mixes.
James. Thank you. I did have shuffle loops, which I used often because I'm prone to shuffles. But yes SD is a lot of fun. Should have done it some time ago.
Haddox - This mix did have the bass brought up a tweak, I was afraid of going to far, it's a think line when your carving or compressing the bottom end. A little bit too much and it goes all muddy, but you mgiht be right because I wondered that very thing.
MaxSax - Thank you. Still not totally happy with the mix, I spent a lot time playing with SD.
Terry - Thanks glad you liked it. Yea, it's infectious. I've been playing that song since I wrote it 6 years ago, and I never get tired of that rockabilly rhythm. It needs a big band behind it though.
