Song Information: Performing on our Tribute to the Moma's and Papa's
Bilbozo - keyboards, rhythm and acoustic guitars

Scott (bassman) Macleod - bass
Buddrumming - drums and percussion
Steve (Slap) Bone - flute and the meanest sax solo
Recorded, arranged, mixed and engineered by Buddrumming Recording Studio (BC, CANADA) and Hidden Mission Studios (BC, Canada)
Inspiration: Our goal was really just to arrange sending files to each other because it was a collab of 5 musicians, on 3 different continents...and see if all the files would line up together...then it quickly just sort of came together..... We would like to thank everybody for helping us and developing a lot of musical patience along the way on this project....we would like to thank the Moma's and Papa's for writing such a beautiful song andbeing a great musical inspiration for us all...
...Cheers! Bilbozo

First off, this is one of the most known classic pop songs ever...the original still hits, you know. There have been countless remakes and covers done of this song over the years. I must say, this right here truly could challenge for the best remake. Really digging in and listening to everyone's contributions and how each person laid their heart & soul's on the table...this was absolutely exceptional! Bill, Bud, and Slap are already fellas I am proud to have worked with before and the experience was unforgettable. Mack Sanders voice is a gift and here he just blows me away with his performance. Scott on bass does an excellent job holding it down. Then of course, Kephas on any song sends the whole project into another level of mastery....talk about a mega collab and a perfect tribute to the Mommas & the Papas...Standing O! Much respect for everyone...well done!

Bill, Mack, Richard, Scott, Bud and Steve ... I don't have any words. I heard this beautiful cover last night on Kephas' show and was instantly captivated by this. One of my all time favorite songs, performed so well. One can feel the chemistry between you guys and the fun you had creating it. Bill, the nylon string is superb! Steve - sax and flute are simply put: out-of-this world-ish. Bass, guitars and drums are fantastic. And Mack - what can I say??? You've got to have one of the most memorable and beautiful male vocals I've ever heard here on the mix!
Gentlemen - I bow to you guys and congratulate you to this achievement!

This is a fave song...always was in my top list...of the best of the 60's. It really thought I reviewed this, because I did hear it...unless it's on another site. Fine vocals Mack. Great Bud.
Anyhow, great singing, good playing Kephas, such expression, all around- a top notch production. Love that addition of flute, very 60's...but here & now most cool sound. It's such a DYNAMIC production, I am lost for words; just relaxing and sit back; most enjoyable. Love the guitar tone on that solo, -a perfectly arranged tune. EXCELLENT chemistry. Lots of expression feeling...can feel it in the airwaves...FAB sax, so well played; GREAT artistry GUYS. Well composed.

I started playing guitar when I was 16 with a love for world music, latin and rock. I try to do something in almost every genre to be as rounded a player...
I started playing guitar when I was 16 with a love for world music, latin and rock. I try to do something in almost every genre to be as rounded a player as I can ! I have been playing in various local bands for about 15 years. When the digital recording age came along I built a home studio and began to learn recording, Acid Looping and combining those elements together to create grooves and compositions. I have a business and a family but I continue to be a weekend warrior playing in a Classic Rock Band for fun and fuel my passion to write grooves, soundtracks, jingle bites and ambient compositions. This is my Hidden Mission !
I also want to thank Frank from Stratage Guitars for providing me the opportunity to own the finest tool for my music compositions. Whether you are playing live or in the studio, Stratage Guitars are nothing short of amazing. I love using my Averon Custom Shop in the studio. It produces any tonal possibility, from sparkly clean warmth to beefy blues tones, smooth jazz sounds, right down to heavy rock grit and everything in between. Stratage produces sonic technology and innovation that re-defines a guitar players true needs, beyond expectation. Truly the most versatile guitar I have ever had the pleasure of playing To learn more about these incredible guitars and basses, visit www.stratageguitars.com
Still love this..
