permision to come aboard? I've been away capt and hoping to get a little help casting off. LoL I have a lil tune I was wondering if you might listen to with the intent of some sir martin style string arr. I think it needs some nice strings and well, none of mine are nice in this current climate of recording. my yamaha would have been nice 15 years ago but I;m afraid time has worn it down to almost embarassing sounds. let me know if interested and I will send mp3 for listening. otherwise how goes it? I hope family and all are well and that the birds of summer are singing loudly. I just finished my school year yesterday and will be kicking back for several weeks. oh don't mention this to tony as he is not of the mind set to hear of my anual break so to speak in other words he's jealous! LoL well get in touch and CHEERS! oh and things are still sounding good here on the sub quality recordings capt.

Lotsa Goldies.....so true...more than stars in the sky....oh yeah,I paid for this poetic license so I am gonna use it whenever and wherever LOL

I have decided that, for me anyway, Golden Years is still our finest hour....I never tire of it.

Yes understand exactly what you are saying. I do build often holding back the bass and some guitars on the opening and then coming in on the start of singing and have long built vocal parts up more and more as the song goes but.... I sometimes get unsure of how to do the right build and sometimes dont do it at all, but this last song was just straight ahead give me all you got from the gate. LOL! I have observed another trick of keeping it bare bones until actually after the first verse and the chorus is where everything breaks loose.
Thanks for reminding me to strive towards a more realistic arrangement.

Didnt John Lennon say there was not a song he wouldnt want to redo?

Hi Juri,
Something strange is reminding me of Soviet Life in a very small way. Really catchy tune.

I redid all vocals/guitars/fills/bass (except Jims lead part) and remixed Mysteries of Life working on CD2 Trk 1. LOL!
Any mix thoughts would be appreciated.
