Hi Lynn,

Wow, really cool song and great mix. I like the marimba and your guitar fills but, I do think it would be more effective if they were maybe used a little more sparingly...but that's just me. 

Excellent job!

Wow -- fantastic song, mix, etc.  I like the retro feel to this.  The vibraphone is nothing but cool.

Hey Lynn nice song and mix.  I agree with James above, maybe introduce the Marimba a little later, and maybe squash it in the mix a little more.  Some of the hits seems to jump out during the vocal lines.  Maybe some automation so it comes off as more of a counter melody between vocal lines.  Just throwing some thoughts out.

Nice job all around

Hey, Lynn,
 
Very cool, punchy sounding rocker with great playing, dynamite vocals and harmonies, and a nicely textured, wide open mix!
 
Lots of really cool stuff going on in this monster, great work, buddy!

Gary, thanks for dropping by and having a listen.  I appreciate your comments, and the marimba will be the attention of the next mix.

Freddy, thanks for the compliments and your time.  It's always good to hear from you.

Mike, thanks for your time and comments.  There's something of a consensus about the marimba.  That's why I'm here.  Your contributions are invaluable.

Bob, your comments always mean a lot to me, as well as your time.  Here's the latest news:  though I will be doing a remix shortly, another esteemed member of our forum has asked to mix this song, and I sent my file to him and hope to hear something after the holidays, hopefully.  Either way, this has just begun.

It's been too long since I checked out your tunes Lynn! Love em' all and that~~~~GROOVE~~~~ is AWESOME!

Great groove on this Lynn, I love it. 

Personally, as its been a point of contention, I love the Xylophone, its really clever and sounds cool.

Hey Lynn
Love the flow and structure of this piece.  Great break at 1:48.  Man, can you sing/harmonize.   Mix sounds great on my end. 
I'm on my third listen and I can't help but think who do you sound like.  Sixth listen and I say this only in a positive way.  Your vox sounds a bit like David Lee Roth. KUDOS!

bayoubill, it's been too long!  Thank you for stopping by, and I'm glad you like the groove.  You can thank Superior Drummer for the great loops and fills from their Avatar kit.

Paul, thanks for the comments about the marimba.  I'm still up in the air about mixing them, but they will be present no matter what.  

Kev, I'm glad to hear from you, as always.  Thanks for your kind comments and your time.  My singing has been compared to everyone from PeeWee Herman to Jimmy Durante, but never DLR.  Cool!  That's quite a surprise.

After reading all the comments while listening, I can see the point about maybe starting sparse and adding instruments gradually (or all at once later).  But it's your baby...and it's quite nice as it is.  :)
