Hi guys!

This is my first post from my brand new iPad. 

I'd like to thank the Pugtones for inviting me in for this tune and for putting up with my delays. My new Motif had to be away in the keyboard hospital for an examination, which held up the process. Good luck to you, Mark with your surgery.

Good job on this one  

The only thing is like what notnat said about the comp on the vocals might help a bit, but other than it's great.
Some of the guitar reminded me a bit of sections from Abbey Road

Robby- Thanks.  Just who or what did you think Betsy is?  Chuckle

Old55- Thanks for listening and commenting!

Bob- Well, thanks, buddy.  Nice hearing your new stuff.  Funny how this song ended up.  We shelved it for awhile.  I guess I just got tired of it and hated my vocals.  A couple months later it didn't sound as bad.  I ran out of storyline.  I'm not even sure how the storyline evolved.  LOL!  Mark really did a fine job on mixing it.  Scotty added that part I felt was missing.  Thanks for listening, Bob.

cclarry- Thanks for listening and commenting.  I hope your ears aren't bleeding!  :-)

Frank- Someone PMd me and said they married her!  LOL, NOT!  Thanks for listening!  Mark did tweek the vox and bass.

tbosco- Yeah, we all know betsy but I always ended up with her when she was the cocoon.  Chuckle.  Mark fixed the vox per you and Frank, and he did something to the bass.  I liked the bass better before he tweeked it.  Waddo I know?  I'm just a bass player!

Bapu- Thanks, Ed.  That memory thing messes with me too.  Seems like I was going to tell you something.......

Lynn- You must have the most posts commenting on tunes of anyone in history.  You're a really good guy.  We appreciate you listening and your kind comments!

Warren (and Mark/Scotty),
  Great to be listening to a new Pugtones tune.  Quality stuff as usual.  I really like the raunchy guitar that kicks this one off.  Nice reverb, really gives it some life.  The vocals were pretty clear to me, very up front in the mix on my system.  Great stuff guys! 

Hope Mark gets well soon!

Starise- Many thanks!  I'm glad you could hear it all ok.  Thanks for listening!

Scotty- It was worth waiting for, buddy!  Thanks.

Makke- Thanks for listening.  We appreciate it!

rm5700- Hey thanks!  I am a huge Beatles fan and your Abbery Road comment is a nice thing to say.  I saw them live twice in Chicago. 

Tony- It was good to hear your new song recently.  Thanks for stopping in and listening.  (whispering)-What the heck is Tom doing in South Korea?   LOL!    I'm sure Mark appreciates your wish for him.

I love songs that tell a story - nice.

The guitar in the intro seems a bit loud.  Same w/ the vocals when they come in.  I'm just talking a dB or 2.  The mix and instruments are good enough they don't need to be overwhemled.

And on the chorus I'd thin out the BV's w/ a HPF some.  Again, leading but a bit masking.

All my suggestions are tweaks - it is a great song done very well.
