| Voice Over Rant by Geechi3 | 9 days ago |
| Hi Linda One of the things I've learned over the years is that adversity breeds some great song material. Great love songs come from broken hearts, Great protest songs come from social upheaval and social strife. So consider what you're going through right now as training for the big time.  lolHere's something I did that may give you some food for thought on a possible direction to go in on voice-overs. It's a 5 minute radio play I put together from sound bites and voice overs I did for Halloween. It's supposed to be spooky/funny/scary/irreverent, but it's mostly just for fun. http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=98740 Have a listen and enjoy, it might at the very least give you a laugh, and at worst tick you off a little. Good luck to you on what you're trying to do, I wish you much success. I also wish you a wonderful, happy, and very prosperous New Year my friend. be well and be cool. Ed |

| solitude (for blog) by Xolv | 24 days ago |
 I'm in awe Wonderful recording and mixing especially considering how it was done. The fact that you built the guitar in the manner you did at school makes the story of this recording even more amazing. All I can say is Bravo Maestro, Kudos to you for your ingenious efforts and the wonderful results. Ed |

| Barbed wire of love (Professional Mix) by ckrohm | 1 month ago |
Man what a difference. This is a stellar production Chris. You definitely got you money's worth here my friend. Everything is clean and hot and right where it ought to be in the mix, without sounding squashed. Excellent performance and vox my friend and great backing tracks. A keeper to be sure. Ed |

| Claymation Jazz by 2manyKeyboards | 1 month ago |
This is a nice easy piece man. Very cool bass line and a great mix. Love the vibes and piano working one against the other. Excellent work on the drums too. Did you play them or program them. Either way the drums are great. Now I'm hearing just the right attitude from the jazz guitar. Man this is an excellent track with some stellar mixing on it Miko. Very cool my friend Ed |

| Bar Stool Lament by tireiron | 1 month ago |
Cool song tire, with some very unique sounds going on in it. Never heard a Strat sound quite like that, but it sounds good. Your right, it ought to be a sin, but it's not, and I'm thankful that it isn't or I'd be in a world of hurt, and so would you. But they haven't made making fine music like this a sin yet, so we're safe for now. Nice original tune with your own original sound, I like it a lot my friend. Be well and be cool Ed |

| Do You Like the Things I Do To You? by ramonaji | 1 month ago |
Got my attention, now where to I apply for the job of pleasing you. Great track, very creative Ramona and very evocative. Nice mix except this old man needs the vocal a little louder. Not you fault my ears are going though so for everyone else it's probably about right. Cool song Ramona, thanks for posting it. Ed |

| SET ME FREE by KCsGROOVE | 1 month ago |
| I went and listened to Bing's mix and the changes he made are subtle but effective in smoothing out the feel of the song. You did a good job on the vocals here Cees but the addition of that little touch of reverb smoothed it out and made it sound even better. Be well my friend and be cool, Ed |
|
| set me free by bingsolex | 1 month ago |
I've listened to both and this is definitely a better mix. The change is subtle but it really made a difference in the character of the song. I like the redone guitar parts as well. Nice job on the remix Bing, and a nice job on smoothing out Cees vocal with a touch of reverb. It wasn't a bad vocal to begin with, but it's even better now. Be well and be cool, Ed |

| Afterglow - Instrumental by Mick_Reeves | 1 month ago |
| The musicianship is nothing less than what I would expect from you Mick. What really got me on this was the fantastic production you did on it. It floats from one thing to the next with barely a ripple it's so smooth. Excellent arrangement, production and musicianship, and Like Geo say one to jam with for hours. Thanks Mick Ed |

| Funky Music - Wild Cherry Cover by Mick_Reeves | 1 month ago |
| If Wild Cherry had done this song this good, they might not have been a one hit wonder. This is so very good it needs to be issued as a new cover release. ou guys took a good song and made it a great song. Great work Mick, Mark and Andy. Thanks for the great download, it's going right to the iPod man. Ed |
|
| Evening By The River by ShadowsOrcas | 1 month ago |
| I keep waiting for it to break out, but it hasn't yet. Ah there it goes, about 2/3 of the way through. What a wonderfully rich sound you brought in just then. It's very easy to relax and just let this take you to places in your mind you haven't visited in a while. Very well put together Dave and very good, I would think the "Other" classification is correct, but it might also fit under something I'd tend to call "Neo Classical" Excellent work my friend. Ed |
|
| Blood by pharmakeus | 1 month ago |
| Fantastic song writing Chris with a great musical back drop. Your guitar playing is as soulful as the lyrics my friend and the character of the guitars sound cries out through the mix to capture the guilty and innocent alike. Great piece of work my friend, absolutely the very best. Ed |

| Until you come back by w1av | 1 month ago |
Very nice tune Bob. love the vibes in the turn around as well as the bass line. You guitar sounds sweet man. What are you playing, the Telecaster or the other guitar pictured on you page? (looks like maybe a PRS, or one of the Yamaha Specials, but I'm not even sure about those) Anyway, I like the sound you get on the whole song, great job my friend. be well and be cool, Ed |

Very good production on the song, which I might add it an awesome song by the way. Great track, nice vid and I'm not at all surprised by your ability to put it all together. Your Aces kiddo. Ed |

| As a virgin to electronica I have to say I'm likin' it a lot if this is an example of the genre. Great track, excellent vocals and harmonies, clean recording, and great production. Very cool Collab my friends, thanks for leading me to it. I like it a lot, it is very cool. Ed |

| Lost at Sea by farfor44 | 1 month ago |
Very good vocals and harmony Gene, and the backing by "The Dreaded Pirate Robert" (I love that moniker) is right where it needs to be to let the song shine through. Excellent work gents, just great. Ed |

| Train Of Life by lewisgreenbaba | 1 month ago |
Very Nice track Lewis. Sometimes full sometimes sparse, always wonderfully played. Excellent recording my friend. It's nice when your best friend comes home after being away. It shows here on this track how much you and your guitar are connected. Excellent track Lewis Ed |

| NO MEDICATION by KCsGROOVE | 1 month ago |
| Been there done that, didn't like it even a little bit my friend. It's hard to loose someone you love, be it a friend or a lover. Great job expressing these feeling in music Cees and you're right, there is "No Medication" that can ease the pain. Excellent song my friend. Bravo Ed |

| Enceladus Encounter by feenixx | 1 month ago |
| Just closed my eyes and listen to the sounds of the spheres. This one can carry you where ever it is you want to go if you just relax and let it. Like guygrooves, I don't often listen to music listen as "Other", but when I saw your name attached to it I knew it was gonna be good. I am not disappointed. Nice work feenixx, Kudos Ed |

| VIENNA (feat.Abstractvision) by Garni | 1 month ago |
Love this track guys. You did an excellent job an what has to be a difficult song to cover and do it well. I've been away from the music business too long which is evident by the fact I have no clue who UV is. But that doesn't change the fact that this is a great piece of music that sounds fantastic. Bravo Ed |
|
| Bongo Bongo Bongo! by pharmakeus | 1 month ago |
| How cool is this Chris. Laid back and easy on the ears, flows along at a east pace and just carries me along with it. Then it starts to mesmerize with the little interlude. Man this is so smooth my friend. I like what you've done with the guitar on the ending section, it gets you attention without taking away from the spirit of the song. Great job Chris, this is just what I needed for some quiet meditation. Fantastic track. I love it. Ed |
|
| We Gave It A Try by RubyDubidoux | 1 month ago |
| Very beautifully done Elaine and Ramona. You two need to do this more often. Love the sound you get on the vocal Elaine. My only suggestion would be to do a remix and pull the vocal back just a little bit so it sits in the song a little better. Outstanding song, both of you. I love it. Be well and be cool, Ed |

| Morning Sunrise by easyesteemer | 1 month ago |
| Never having done any new age music myself, I don't feel justified in commenting on this in any other way than to say I like it, easy. I will say this much, it's different than what I'm used to. And I love the artwork you chose for it. A nice soothing piece of music that's very pleasing to the ear, thanks for the listen my friend. Ed |

| Battleship Blues by Bob6stringer | 1 month ago |
| It occurs to me that you are over stretching yourself there old man. But I will say that I saw her first and went to visit her, (her being the beautiful and evocative Elaine, aka RubyDubidoux) and listen to the most wonderful version of "Sweet Dreams of You" that has ever been done since Patsy Cline did her version all those years ago. So although you are definitely right about the best comment ever my friend, I claim her as my own one true groupie, and you're on your own Bob. lololololololololol Thanks Elaine for the great comment, we'll see about arranging a private concert for you post haste, although I'm not sure Bob can make it.. Love ya XOXOXOXOX Ed |

| Battleship Blues by Bob6stringer | 1 month ago |
| Well now, we had a hell of a good time in Knoxville don't ya know. It was really great finally getting to meet up with Bob. Had a nice meal, mixed it up for a while and laughed a lot. Thanks for driving down from Johnson City my friend, it made the trip to Knoxville more than worth the effort. What a great time. Love the Guitar work you did on this my friend, all 900 takes. Great food, great fun, and some great music to boot. It don't get any better than this. Be well and be cool, Ed |

| The Stinging Wasp by Dee1962z | 2 months ago |
love the way you Exorcised your Demons Dee. Sometimes frightening, sometimes calming, all the time very well done. This is a keeper my friend. You did an excellent job on the mixing and production choices here. A Star is born with this piece M'Lady. Be well and be cool, Ed |

| Sassy by ShadowofNine | 2 months ago |
| Great track Dave. Love the whole darn thing. It's smooth and funky and moves along. I found my self bobbing my head and tapping my foot from the first 4 bars. This is a great Jazz/Funk piece my friend, and it even has "CHORD CHANGES". Speaking of chord changes, I heard a story one time where a bass player just kept playing the same single note on every song. just that one note all the way through. Finally the Guitar player asked him why he never played any other notes. The bass player said, "All those guys running up and down the neck all the time are just lookin' for it, but I found it. Be well and be cool my friend Ed |

| Bad Moog by pharmakeus | 2 months ago |
| Gives a whole new meaning to a "Drinking Song" Chris. The Moog sounds great, and so does the Guitar. Talk about face shredding, this one it the mother f all face shredders. Love the tongue in cheek lyrics (you were kidding weren't you) and vocal. Cool track my friend. Be well and be cool, Ed |

| Six Days on the Road [live band; cvr] by Bob6stringer | 2 months ago |
Great song, great rendition, and the recording ain't to bad either, for a live gig. I love it when you post this Farmageddon stuff. The live gigs are always so much fun to listen to. Nice job on the lead my friend, sounds like you were having a great time. Be well and be cool, Ed |
|
| Come Back to Me v2 by rickywaterman | 2 months ago |
Nice track Ricky. Love the feel of it and the laid back rhythm section. That guitar is oh so mellow on the response to the vocal. Some really clean nice lead picking in there too. I would have liked to have heard a real ending on this one instead of the fade out. I've done that too when I just couldn't do an ending, but I'm never satisfied until I go back and fix the ending. Great track my friend, instant fav be well and be cool, Ed |
|
| Optimistic Strut by iG-STUDiO | 2 months ago |
| An outstanding little romp through the world of Jazz, with some really excellent playing by all. Love the bass and guitar lines, but what shine as well, are the horn and sax parts. Excellent production and a damn good listen. This one goes on the iPod and in iTunes for sure. Great track Nelson and company, I love it. Be well and be cool, Ed |
|
| Agave Worm Plays Guitar by pharmakeus | 2 months ago |
| Kind of a cross over from Raggae to rock Chris. Some really nice rhythms and guitar playing in this one. Nice chops on the lead runs and that second guitar just comes in and fills in the blanks. Very cool track my friend, Thanks for re-sharing this one Chris, I'd never heard it before. Be well and be cool, Ed |
|
| Fat's Easy Jazz by fatchance | 3 months ago |
| the Dynamic Trio at it's finest. Unfortunately, you don't hear this kind of music much any more. It's a pity too, cause this kind of music is always great and always worth the time it takes to sit still and enjoy the ride. Great job on this by all the players and a fine mastering job Geo. Bravo Maestro Be well and be cool my friend, Ed |
|
| Comanchero - Instrumental by Mick_Reeves | 3 months ago |
| I never heard the first one Mick, but I'm sure liking this one. The guitars shine and the chanting get the mood going. Love the horn jabs in the background. The drums a]have a native feel which fits perfectly with the mood and feel of the rest of the tracks. You did a killer job on this mix for sure my friend. Thanks for sharing this one, Kudos for all the hard work. It paid off in spades. be well and be cool, Ed |
|
| Ombra Turns Blue by ShadowofNine | 3 months ago |
| Been there done that on the loops Dave, but you did it better by far. Great job of puttin' it down man. This is catchy different, and just plain good stuff. Love how the sound just kind of morfs into something a little more meaty. Great bass line too on the heavy stuff. Great track great job my friend. You can be proud of this one. Be well and be cool, Ed |
|
| Sledgehammer Blues by pharmakeus | 3 months ago |
| Nice bit of down and dirty blues Chris. Great live feel to this and the playing is great. Love the rhythm guitar and lead how they play off the organ. Thanks for layin this one down man, it's great. Be well and be cool, Ed |
|
| SKIES OVER HOLLAND by KCsGROOVE | 3 months ago |
| First thing I noticed was the great bass line driving the song along. Then the rhythm guitar filling in the gaps. Love the piano work in the bridge as well. Overall, I think this is a great tribute to you homeland. Kudos my friend for a job very well done, Be well and be cool, Ed |
|
| Heaven in your eyes by farfor44 | 3 months ago |
Very cool arranging Gene. I can see why you like Chris' drums work, he does outstanding work. Love the depth of the back tracks, and you lead part just shines in this. Because I have a lot of hearing loss, I couldn't pick out all the lyrics, but the vocal melody line sounds great. Would really appreciate seeing the lyrics though. Nice work here my friend, thanks for sharing. Be well and be cool, Ed |

| County Line Drive w/ Steel by fatchance | 3 months ago |
| Oh YEAH man, what a difference. That steel takes this to a while different level. Where the first track was a great listen, there was something missing. I now know what that something is. It's Mr.Steel: J. Forney's beautiful addition in the form of Soul. I have to agree with Argales statement about it sounding very sad, but I think it's because the Steel does such a wonderful job of crying. Final thought's, this is much better than the original because of the Steel part. The new mix is also a little gentler. It's like you pulled the rest back a little to make the Steel take it's more prominent place in the mix, as it should be. This is a very beautiful piece Geo, even better that the first one by a magnitude or two. Thanks for sending me to these, their both great. Be well and be cool, Ed |
|
| County Line Drive by fatchance | 3 months ago |
| WOW, this is great ! Just excellent my friend. Very mellow and subdued. he bass line and guitar worked perfectly against the drums, and the piano fill do just that, they fill in the blanks. Superb mix and production quality on this as well. One of you very best ever Goe. Kudos to you, Mr. Roberts, and Mr. Shank for this very beautiful piece. Can't wait to hear the one with the Steel on it, and that's next. Be well and be cool, Ed |

| Cyberiad of Lem, with music by ddball | 3 months ago |
How very cool. Love the way you built the rhymes in mathematics. Who's da thought math could be so expressive I agree with Dave's (Shadowof nine) suggestion. and I quote, "Excellent Dave, you should post this on your promoting music site it belongs there, a fine fine track.." I love it my friend. thanks for doing it and posting it Be well and be cool David Ed |

| Indiana Jones and the Disco of Doom by padowan_learner | 3 months ago |
If the choreographers can't get a reaction out of the audience with this playing behind the chase scene, they need to stop going to the morgue for their audiences. Cheap and cheesy with ref to a lot of other music icons, most of which I recognized, none of which I could name. Great track, fits the intended use to a tea, and even sound pretty good. Very well done Jeannette, Kudos Ed |
|
| Waters too Cold by TripJohnsonBand | 3 months ago |
Great sound quality on the recording of this. Is this a live band recording, or did you do the song a track at a time ? Either way, it sounds pretty good to me. Good ole Rock and Roll for sure. Great vocal presence from your singer, that cuts through the mix really well. Love the chunk rhythm guitar an the lead part shines. Nice job all around Trip. Be well and be cool, Ed |

| Business as usual by KCsGROOVE | 3 months ago |
| The guitar and vocal sounds great together. Come to think of it, the rest sounds pretty darn good too. Nice track Cees and that Takamine really recorded well. What mic did you use on that? Thanks for the pst man, it's a cool song. Especially right now. Be well and be cool, Ed |
|
| 1967 {Rain Rain Go Away} by pharmakeus | 3 months ago |
| Love the drums and bass you used to hold the rhythm together . And that lead guitar is so expressive it almost cries in the rain. Xin Xin is a treat coming in like that and then when you take over and finish the line, the connection is made. Very cool piece Chris, with excellent mixing and production. I like it a lot. Be well and be cool, Ed |
|
| Dream Cymbalism by feenixx | 3 months ago |
| Almost dreamlike. But then I guess it's supposed to be, isn't it? Nice collab that really does have a disjointed dream feel to it. There are parts that work to glue it all together, but I'll be darned if I could tell you what they were. Very cool piece of work, Kudos to all of you, and especially to you for putting it all together feenixx, Be well and be cool, Ed |

| Black Car [Live] by artneuro | 3 months ago |
| Cassette or otherwise this is very well done, and sounds very good. Great singer Art, but how is it that you let this one get away from you. She sounds like a keeper at least vocally. Nice tight arrangement that leave room for the singer, without falling flat in the production. Nice work restoring this one my friend, it's a great track. Thanks for posting it. Be well and be cool, Ed |
|
| Walkin with Mr.Bass by ShadowofNine | 3 months ago |
| Very nice mix of sounds Dave. I agree with feenixx about some drums, but they'd have to be subtle and laid back for sure. Maybe a brush jazz feel or something. Love the way the vox sits on the bass line and the sound on that bass is killer. Very nice, and very cool my friend, thanks for sharing it. Be well and be cool, Ed |
|
| Lonely Nights, Lonely Songs by Dadai | 3 months ago |
Great job on the remix Jack. This is a really good "Tears in my beer" song as was pointed out by feenixx. I also agree about the harp, with some nice playing on your part. It was fun to lend a hand on this song Jack and I sure like your mix. Very cool my friend. Thanks for letting me be a small part of this, it was great fun. Ed |
|
| for you by that80sboy | 3 months ago |
Outstanding production with great vocals and some awesome back tracks Mark. It doesn't get any better than this as far as mixing and sound. Altogether and really great bit of work here my friend. The longer you listen the better it gets. Kudos Mark, this is almost to good. Be well and be cool, Ed |
|
| Got a Smoke? by AshleyBeanHead | 3 months ago |
Don't ya just hate it when someone steals your smokes. Very cool Funky Jazz combo going on here Doc. Love the horn treatment. and the drums are outstanding. This is so James Brown, it hurts, but in a very good way cause it's better than JB. Love what sounds like the subway effect about half way through. Sounds like you went into the Raccoon City subway with a high dollar Sony stereo recorder and then used that in the track. Very cool. Great track, lots of energy and funk, with a few surprises. Excellent my friend, Kudos Be well and be cool, Ed |

| The King by Sloparts | 4 months ago |
| Thanks Jeannette, Glad you liked my little fantasy in music. As was pointed out to me, the picture is of King Arthur, but most of the instrumentation is a lot more modern than that, from the 1700 and 1800. But I don't think it matter because it's not really a period piece done on period instruments. It's just a picture painted in music that portrays what it might be like to live in a village in Medieval England and to get to see "the King". I hadn't though about the reference to Elvis before. If they just went straight to the music without looking at the picture or reading the text, I'm sure they would be very surprised. Truth be known, I've never seen Elvis in person either, so if he came through my little village, first off I'd be very surprised, (and afraid), and I'm sure this would be an appropriate piece of music to go along with that. lol Thanks for checking out the piece Jeannette, and for the kind words about it. I really do appreciate you dropping in for a visit. Be well and be cool my friend, Ed |

| Bye,Bye by ShadowofNine | 4 months ago |
| Very cool vibe my friend. It goes to show what can be done using the KISS principle. It's call building on a base and you do it very well. Love the "lyrics" that just flow along carrying you with the music. The mix is great and the acoustic guitar sounds awesome. Nice easy going track that in spite of the constant guitar is relaxing and cool , and easy on the ears. Thanks for laying this one down Dave, I like it a lot. Be well and be cool Ed |
|
| Tell me why by KCsGROOVE | 4 months ago |
| It's back to the basics for you. What else could you do with all the commotion going on around you my friend. Great track with good vocals and backtracks. My only suggestion would be on the rhythm guitar sound. I'm listening to it on a really good set of computer speakers right now, and it sounds very thin on that guitar. It may have been your intention, or it could be it doesn't sound right because of the speakers, but it sounds way too thin to me. Just a thought' Still Cees, it's a great song in all respects my friend, thanks for sharing it. Be well and be cool, Ed |
|
| Rock the Funk by farfor44 | 4 months ago |
I agree with all the above, this is one Funky tune Far. only thing I can hear I would change would be to bring the lead guitars up in the mix and let them scream a little in between the vox lines and on the ending. Great track, I'm loving it big time. Be well and be cool, Ed |

| funky disco thingy by that80sboy | 4 months ago |
Way cool disco-funk Mark. Takes me back to when I used to do disco's with another guy back in the 70's.

Very cool sound gong on here Mark, thanks for sharing. be well and be cool, Ed |

| Exception To The Rule by Dylan | 4 months ago |
| I've listened to big93to98's original version before I listened to this one and I like them both. His version has more drive and energy to it, but yours has a much cooler feel to it. That's what you get when you have 2 really great artist who put their own personal touch to the same song. Both are great, and both are personal. My preference is to lean more towards your Country-Blues take on the song, but then I've always been a sucker for the bluesy approach in a song. Great track, excellent instrumentation and production, and a very cool mix. Kudos Dylan Ed |
|
| Exception to the Rule by bigt93to98 | 4 months ago |

| Very nice piece Mori. I hear a hint of Moonlight Sonata in here in some of the changes, but only an occasional chord here and there. this has that same kind of melancholy feel to it as well. Beautifully played my friend and well recorded. Kudos Ed |

| Driving Miss Velvet by mbehar | 5 months ago |
Very well played and arranged, glad I stopped to listen. This is a nice Jazz piece that kind of soothes the early morning coffee and give me a reason to go work on my own music. Very well done my friend, I especially like the interplay going on between the piano and bass. I would have used a bass with a little more bottom end to it, but that just personal taste there. Great work, Kudos Ed |

| Man, talk about a power Blues and Jazz group, this is it. This is oh so mellow and easy on the ears guys I could listen to this stuff all day long and never get tired of it. I've always loved this kind of stuff, but never had the chance to play it. Great job, all of you, great mix Geo, and Kudos to all of you for the effort, it paid of in spades. Ed |

| Very cool song Cees Great rhythm track, love the bass line and drums, and the guitars are right where they need to be in the mix. The break is just excellent as well. Man you do this stuff soooo well. The lyrics are different, but way cool and as always, your vocal is great. Neat little tune here my friend, thanks for sharing it. I can't think of anything I would change on it, it sounds too good as it is to make any changes. Be well and be cool, Ed |

| Breathe easy by KCsGROOVE | 5 months ago |
| These are some great lyrics 8Month wrote, Cees and your delivery is excellent. The musical background works well and Bing's guitar parts though sparse, fit in perfectly. Over all and excellent collab My only suggestions would be to shorten the song slightly maybe by cutting out some of the repetition in the verses where you can get away with it, and it doesn't take anything away from the feel and mood of the song. And man does this thing ever have feeling and mood to it. The other thought I had was to put a little more dynamics into the piano part. It might just be my ears, but the piano sounded like it was all the same level, and in some places seemed to overpower the vocal track. You have a great start here Cees that just needs a little bit of TLC to polish it into the gem it was made to be. Thanks for sharing this one my friend. it's going on my iPod asap. Ed |

| Thank you John for both your comments and for coming over for a listen. I'm really glad you liked the song, and the new mix on it. You hit on exactly what I was trying to do with this mix. I wanted it to have depth and an in your face kind of Bluegrass/ Country sound to it. I guess it worked. Thanks again for the visit my friend, it means a lot to this old man. Take care and always Be cool John, Ed |

| A Simple Life remastered by Sloparts | 5 months ago |
| Thanks Chris This is the way the song needed to be presented all along, but in 1991 when I did the first recording of it. I was just starting to get some inkling about how to do this stuff. The original version, on my artist page was just that old recording with some EQ'ing done to it and not much else. This one still uses the original for the vocal and main guitar part, but all the other parts have been redone, and I added a few more things to the mix to tilt it over a little to the Bluegrass side of Country. Thanks for the great comments on the song, the mix, and the vocal Chris, I really appreciate you stopping in to listen. Take care, stay well and above all, Be Cool, Ed |

| Thanks for the visit David Alway great to share a mug of ale with you my friend. Glad you like the new version of "A Simple Life" One this about a simple life is to not try too hard to achieve it. It comes to you when it wants to, OR NOT ! Take good care my friend, and save me a mug for when I get over there. Ed |

| Thanks Miguel I really wanted this to have the drive and energy the song had been lacking up until this new master. I think finally it does. I also wanted to get a more Country Wester feel into it with a little Bluegrass thrown in because of the lyrics and the story they tell. Thanks so much for listening to it my friend. Always nice to see you posting on one of my songs. Take care, stay well, and be cool Miguel, Ed |

| Jam Down (country Swing) by ShadowofNine | 6 months ago |
Let the fun begin. Got me out of my seat and ready for the dance man. Absolutely fabulous Dave. The sounds are real, the playing is awesome and the production is to die for. Sounds like an old barn dance kicked into high gear with some fine fine pickers doing their thing and loving it. I do agree with feenixx that it needs to have a proper ending to it, but that doesn't take anything away from what you've done, it would just put the icing on the cake. Great piece of work my friend of which you can be very proud. Thanks for putting this one up, it's fantastic. Ed |

| Wow KC Outstanding groove, great lyrics, some fine guitar playing and awesome vocals. It doesn't get any better than this my friend. What a terrific song you've got here. Love the keyboard accents and jabs placed in the mix. Speaking of mixes, this one it spot on KC. Man I wish I could do the stuff you guys do on a regular basis. Kudos, Bravo, and any other superlatives I can think of on this one. You guys are Aces. Ed p.s. I see mentions of Steely Dan, and those are right on, but I also hear a little bit of Atlanta Rhythm Section in here to. Specifically thinking of "So In To You" except this is better. Ed |

| Doldrums by pharmakeus | 6 months ago |
| Nice track Chris, I hear the 80's retro thing as well, but I also hear a 21st century complexity that give this a somewhat futuristic vibe. At first I wasn't sure what I was listening to, but the farther along it got the more I liked it. Nice piece of work my friend with very cool sound, well arranged. thanks for sharing, Ed |
