OP gibson Veteran Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 3,079 wales	I posted this song as an entry for the Rock AND the singer songwriter xtra style competition .... together .... in one song, a gibsonisation+. The original song is from a few years ago so I put the vocals and solo wavs into BIAB and experimented. There are 3 styles although the RTs overlap. At one stage everything is playing, which was a nightmare to mix! Solo is me on Les Paul through line 6 UX2 Toneport I also feel a little relevant to the posts Phil Spector/Wall of sound and Multi-Style suggestions This song started me off on a mix and match marathon and I now have 3 others, less loud, which made the choice of which to post very hard. It started life being called "Her Mum" for some reason but is now: Echo round your mind **** Song Summary ********* Title: her mum File:echo EQUINOX.SGU Key=Am , Tempo 95, Length (m:s)=2:56 No intro. 66 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 66.

Janice & Bud Veteran Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 16,033 GA USA	We have to weigh in also on the Lennon feel...thought that immediately. White Album lost cut. Got so busy reading the RT list that I had to restart the song several times! Sheeesh....put me in front of a DAW with more than 6-8 tracks and I'm doing nothing but pirouettes. This is fascinating all the way around...the vocal, the lyric and the amazing production and it sounds superb on our sound system. Another keeper, indeed. J&B Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos
