I posted a link to an interview I found.

I'll bet that was an interesting discussion over the beers. Johnny has a cool beard and seems to be a down to earth kind of guy as well. 2000 miles on horseback.... that's dedication to the trip.

I'd really like to hear his song about you. Way to strike up a conversation with a strange stranger, and turn it into something special.

All that applies to you (doubly). You write and play at that same level. Your Audio Engineering is so far past everyone else it isn't even funny. You get an acoustic guitar sound that is to-die-for. Electric and Bass POP. Drums, too. Vocals stand loud and proud and tucked-in perfectly. Excellence in all direction. fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

And a good write, too. I see you picked up Waves BB Tubes - cool plugin. That was a lot of fun. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

That surely fits with the title... I loved everything: the cool song, the cool vocals, guitars/band and your mixing skills. Played it several times by now.
