thanks vicente, appreciate it!

you know, throughout the 80's (actually, from 1979 thru 1986) i worked on the road full time, doing mostly covers.
some were hard rock, but some were pure pop, R&b, and funk.
so, there's no way i could get away from all of that, for sure....

i think maybe i was thinking more along the lines of stuff off of eric johnson's 2nd album, ah via musicom, when i built this arrangement.
in fact, it sounded so close to that kind of thing, with the original demo i had, that included full drum kit, that i took the kit out.

tried to give it a more classic, or timeless feel, without the drums.
it throws some people.

maybe one day, i'll hook up with a really creative drummer that will come up with something for it that is totally unexpected, but i could'nt improve it on my own.
everything i did sounded so..... expected.
LOL

thanks so much for checking this one out.
it is a song version of memories of my childhood growing up in florida.....
where it rained every single day!
LOL

now, out in Utah, maybe it rains once a month.
but it's a dry heat.
LOL again......

Gonzo, this is such a great tune. As I've said in the past - you always put out the best - most professional music. This is is just so interesting.

Waiting To Shine rocks my mood every time I listen.  A GREAT tune that makes me move.  Batsblues, I didn't know if you'd remember that.  That's funny!

YEA, I should change the name of that song to 'batsblues'

LOL

i used the Williams Hybrid, for the majority of the rhythm work, and the middle solo

This is beautiful. I'm guessing John Anderson must have cost a fortune to hire in ;-)

That's a wonderful mix, I can only aspire to such things.

Nice - I would probably lose the rain fx - feels kind of cliched, but then I guess cliche is just another word for popular .

thanks for checking it out paulo...

it's real rain, recorded right out the back door.

and it tells a story, it is an integral part of the story, i think if ever there was a place for it, it's right there.

it's gonna stay, and damn the cliches!!
LOL
