<p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><span style="color: #ffcc00;">This was a song entry for a remix contest for John Schlitt on Acidplanet.&nbsp; It never placed but I thought it would be worth posting.&nbsp; While most other entries went into electronic or other genres, we kept true to John's style with a hard rock edge.&nbsp; John Schlitt ( Lead singer of Christian Rock Group Petra ) wrote the song and sang the lyrics. I added guitar and harmonica and Buddrumming rocked out on the drums.&nbsp; A good summer rocker to kick the speakers out.</span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong><span style="color: #ffcc00;"><a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_31676.php">http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_31676.php</a></span></strong></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #ffcc00;">This is a&nbsp;latin&nbsp;based instrumental track, laid back with a hint of jazz. I just aquired a Godin "La Petrie" spanish acoustic guitar and was anxious to hear how it sounded compared to my other guitars, so this is the first track I recorded with it. I tried to create a mood so people could visualize the setting. Hopefully it comes across as a vision of some utopian place in paradise. Big kudos for buddy Steve Bone (Slap Johnson) whom I always turn to for mood setting woodwind loops. All other instruments via Roland Midi GR-20 Guitar or loops.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ffcc00;">I hope you like it and of course comments always welcome.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_30918.php">http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_30918.php</a></p>

<p>Another symphonic heavy rock track. I was toying with Symphonic Orchestra, Dimension 4 and Omnisphere. Very realistic orchestra sounds, I just can't get over the qulaity of these programs. I combined it with some heavy guitar to make an epic sountrackesque tune. This one is called Horizon. I have to thank PlanetJazzBass for me to make these kinds of tracks possible. I hope you enjoy my nemesis. Comments of course are always most welcome !

<p><span style="background-color: #000000; color: #ffcc00;"><strong>This one takes me back to playing heavy rock, with a little darkness with a couple of rays of sunlight...and thats the daily forecast for today heheh. The modern world has changed with technology and is such a busy place. This tune seems to personify it that way, with perhaps the hope that we'll find time to smell the roses and have a fresh outlook for the future. Live your days like it's your last...now is as good as it gets. I hope you like this song. Best heard cranked with a drink in your hand ! Comments are always welcome.

<p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;"><strong>My brother Bob and I played together as guitar players in a number of bands about 20 years ago.&nbsp; After he became a dentist and I got into the printing business we moved away to different places and our band broke up and we joined different groups.&nbsp;Bob was also a very talented luthier and built me the best guitar I ever owned, a PRS-style custom&nbsp;which I play to this day.</strong></span></p><p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;"><strong>This was the first time we actually spent any time in the studio together in about&nbsp;20 years.&nbsp; Bob wrote this song many years ago but we never had the chance to finish it.&nbsp; It was a real treat for me as it brought back so many memories of practicing in my parents garage with our band.&nbsp; We used to drive my folks crazy, but Pop was real proud of us, mom on the other hand wore airline headgear and tuned us out.&nbsp; The night we finished mixing this song, sadly, my father had a stroke from cancer complications and passed away 4 days later on Jan 6th 2012.&nbsp; He never had the chance to hear this song or see us play together in the studio, but I am sure it&nbsp;would have put a smile on his face.&nbsp; We miss you Dad.&nbsp; This one is for you Pops.</strong></span></p><p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;"><strong>Bobby Smith - Vocals, Guitar, Piano, Drums</strong></span></p><p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;"><strong>Bill (Bilbozo) Smith - Guitar, Synth and Mix-Mastering</strong></span></p><p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;"><strong><a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_27396.php">http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_27396.php</a></strong></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;">This is a collab with fellow friend, musician and keymaster David C. Deal, myself...with the acapella is from Chris Venna which I had found at Acidplanet.&nbsp; We decided to give this one a dark heavy rock or metal overtone but still hold a club groove to keep it moving and interesting.&nbsp; I told David it was an exercise in atmosphere.&nbsp; It basically shows how versatile David is, he virtually can play any genre with impecable success.&nbsp;Not really what people may expect from the two of us, but it definately was a lot of fun as all collabs are with Dr. Deal.&nbsp; Alawys an&nbsp;honor my friend.&nbsp; Cheers and comments are always most welcome.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;">David C.

<div style="margin: 10px 0px 20px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;">It's seems like&nbsp;ages since I have posted a song, almost 3 months. It's great to be at it again as well as collabing with all my good friends. Life threw a few curveballs and I got sidetracked .&nbsp;Music has always been a great escape for me.&nbsp; Not just the therapeutic&nbsp;creativity of excrecising my brain (too much trans-fat up there !), but to dream of being in a peaceful place. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;">Hence the song "Cafe in Peru."&nbsp;&nbsp; It takes me to a place where things are simple, Where the smells of Peruvian coffee, culture, wonderment and mystery.&nbsp; I have travelled to many places in Mexico, Central America&nbsp; Life there is one of passion, values and romance.&nbsp; I am glad I finished this song today, because if I&nbsp;had any more of it's atmosphere it produced in my dreams, I&nbsp;might never have come back !&nbsp; Can&nbsp;I buy you a&nbsp;Mountain Roasted Blend?&nbsp; Enjoy.&nbsp; I wish you Love, family, peace and music.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;">Bill Smith ( Bilbozo )</span></p><p><span style="color: #ffcc00; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_26106.php"><span style="color: #ffcc00;">http://www2.mixposure.com/Bilbozo/song_focus_26106.php</span></a></span></p></div>

<div style="margin: 10px 0px 20px;"><p>It's always exciting to get the opportunity to collab with other guitar players. One of them is PeteTebar (SPD2). Pete just&nbsp;blew me away&nbsp;with his picking, aggressive style, killer vibrato. So right away if we were going to collab it would have to be something heavy, intense and dynamic. Arena style rock/metal that boils in your blood like a seringe of caffeine. Pete and I hope you enjoy Metalshop 101 and of course feel free to leave some comments. Pete you killed this one, great work my friend. Get your lighters ready...
