Good work! Solid melodic playing backed by a good arrangement that kept things moving forward.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Alan, well done!

Hi Hans ...

yeah, I can see why you thought you previously had listened to it. I'm glad you like this rendering of that chord progression. It's just an example what can be accomplished with varying the RTs and other b/g inclusions. Thanks for the listen and very nice comments. Wishing you the best. Be safe ...

Hi jptx3 ...

Thank you very much. It was intended to be a toe-tapper. I think saying it swings is close enough for me to say I might have succeeded in my effort. Thank you very much! Wishing you the very best. Be safe ...

Man, if one is a bit late listening to your compositions all the accolades have been eloquently stated leaving little left to say ... so dittos to all of the above.

I've always felt that the more rich and nuanced chord progressions bring out the best of RT's and the solos in particular. And that is what you are so good at.

And good at it to the extent that we simply listen to your productions in toto with never the slightest urge to parse things out. Just enjoy. And we did.

Bravo, bravo. This track made me smile from start to finish. Everything sits right in its place. I really felt like the guitar was having a conversation with the other instruments and saying "hey, listen to what I've got to say" to the listener - me. Reaching that level is always a thrill to hear.

P.S. +1 to Janice and Bud - not much left to add smile

It does sound like a band having fun.
Just wondered what it would be like if there was another lead instrument (piano or sax) taking turns, starting at about 00:45.

Hey guys ...

I'll simply say you guys are awesome and I sincerely appreciate those accolades. I'm feeling pretty rocky today ... so this put a nice smile on my face. Glad I stopped in to read your kind comments before going to bed. Again, many thanks! Take care and be safe ...

Hi Vic ...

Thanks for your very nice comments. I tried a couple of other lead instruments for the reason you mentioned, but each one seemed to fall short of the robust sound the lead guitar offered. So mI left it as is.

Again, many thanks. Take care and be safe ...

Hello Cap'n ...

As Janice and Bud have been known say ... "Don't grow up. It's a trap!"

Actually, I probably haven't tapped into more than 10% of BIAB's capabilities ... and that's not an exaggeration. I've learned the basics pretty good, I guess. I just work like heck to make the basics sound as good as I can.

But I sure do appreciate those very kind words. Thanks a bunch!

Best to you. be safe ...

Alan

Hi Ronnie ...

Until about 1990, I played nothing but Country (that's where the money was!) but I always enjoyed other genres, particularly Jazz and what's now called Smooth RnB. After playing Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Ray price, etc., music I'd often go home and play around with many of the other genres.

Glad this gave you a nice flashback! And many thanks for your kindness!

Wishing you the very best and please be safe ...

Al-David...Hi folks,

Listening to you tune, I can hear Ella or Satchmo singing along in my head.

Such awesome, awesome guitar playing! You can really make that thing sing...

I was once a secret, but it's everybody's business now! YEAH
