Well done, Alan!

Thanks very much, B.D. I appreciate that. Best to you.

Hi, Dave.

That's very nice if you to say. Thank you so much. As I mentioned in my opening comments, this one just fell into place.

Take care,

An enjoyable listen for sure.

Hello B.T.

Thanks so much. I'm delighted you caught those small nuances. Often, the smallest things make the biggest difference.

Wishing you the best,

Hi, Vic,

I always appreciate your comments. I intentionally kept that somewhat busy bass line in order to represent the joyous attitude. And I had more low EQ on it but decided against keeping it in an effort to keep the song airy. I'm delighted it works for you otherwise. Wishing you the best.

Alan

"This one just fell into place ..."

And we are glad it did.
Joyous is a great word to used as it well describes the vibe.

And another great production with the BiaB Wrecking Crew and Al.

The guitar sounds fine to us in both tone and mix placement.

Excellent!

Alan,

"Joyous Journey" . . . yeah, aptly titled . . . because that's exactly what this iisten was. The nylon guitar is just perfect in the mix . . . I wouldn't touch it; it's well-forward enough. Excellent mix and production as always. Lovely tune!!

Chay,

I gotta say, that's one of the most original reviews/comments I've received! Glad you liked it. Thanks.

Howdy Folks,

Well, your comment filled me with joy! And yeah, those guys are a pretty good band. They didn't need much practice in this one as they got it right almost from the first effort.

Thanks a bunch,

Don't change a thing, Alan ... this is absolutely perfect "as is".

Love it. Love that chugging bass line, as if I'm in a train compartment, travelling joyously around some mountains or something. The whole thing is just 3:34 minutes of pure joy.

Bravo.

Hi, Alan.

Nice work, as usual. The bass keeps this chugging along, and I'll definitely have to use the nylon more in the future!

Since I'm late to the party, I assume that any changes to the mix have been finished, because it sounds balanced to me. smile

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

James,

As always, it's a pleasure when you visit one of my songs. the bass line gives the song energy that, I think, melds well with the other somewhat more subdued tracks. It's a blend i was lucky to have run across.

Thank you very much.

Alan
