HAPPY BIRTHDAY my good friend...I hope it`s wonderful for you my&nbsp;fantastic collab partner...<br /><br /><br />Much love, huge hugs and many kisses..:-)<br />Mags&nbsp;

I wrote this as a response to what Vesa had written on his&nbsp;blog but after giving it a little more thought I wondered if any of you feel the same about the music we create and decided to post up a blog to find out..<br />

<div class="br-txt">I think music should sound how the&nbsp;CREATOR of it intended it to sound...If you`ve achieved that then you`ve achieved what you set out to do..It does`nt really matter if the listeners hear it your way or not, as long as you know you`ve achieved what you set out to do and that YOU know it sounds the way it was intended to sound, then all`s well.. I don`t think anyone should change the music they create because a few people who listen feel it should be different..I don`t think any of us would ask a painter to change a part of the picture he`d just painted because we don`t like the colour he`s used for the sky etc....Those artists/musicians wearing "L" plates are excluded of course....:-)They need the guidance of those further on down the road..:-)<br /><br />Just my few pennies worth..:-)<br /><br />Peace n love Mags </div>

Dear Mix listeners, please come and listen to the latest song. I have just posted Breathe Back In, which is my latest collaboration with two really amazing musicians on Mix. I would like to thank them both for bringing these words to life in such a beautiful and stylish way. I am so happy that they loved these lyrics enough to give them life, and I could not have asked for kinder and more dedicated musicians. I thank them from my heart! Maybe you would all like to have a guess, see if you know who they could be? Melsi

A lot of my old music isn't around anymore, partially because it sucked, secondly I gave up trying to accomplish single handed what a team did better. Now what you <strong>probably</strong> wont know is that once upon a time I <strong>did</strong> land at the old Mix from a very brief spell as a singer songwriter, but my primary home was on Unsigned Band Web where I had a heck of a lot of memories. Recently I thought "why the hell not" and stuck up "Home Leaving" (recently being 11 hrs 30 minutes ago according to the time frame they have listed next to new songs.) 2 plays one download-not bad. Anyway sidetracking here.<br /><br />I thought wouldn't it be cool if I let you all <strong>listen</strong> to what I used to do, and thankfully I don't have to sit there with ya while you listen lol, I'd probably drop dead through embarassment! First here's the lyrics, and my artist name was <strong>Will Bailey</strong> named after me and my son. Although I first went under Don Brooks, then Seeking Savannah.<br /><br />

A year or so ago, I had the pleasure of recording some 'things' with a young,home town guitar player named 'Adam Boomer' . I had a drum track we starting jammin' too..... not to refined just jammin' . I later went back and added the bass and horn tracks,(Roland Fantom X keyboard)&nbsp;hoping to keep the jam vibe. I think it has a jazzy-funk, with a bit of big band vibe to it. I hope you enjoy.........:-)<br /><br />cheers,<br />Larry T

KED and I have been threatening to do a collab together for some time now. I had started working on an instrumental track called "Lookin' At Ya" in about 2006 and had recorded the drums, bass, pianos and organ tracks, trying to come up with a lead guitar that I was happy with. It had been consigned to the "to do sometime later" list, but then I decided to take KED up on his kind offer to collab with me.<br /><br />Here's the finished result. KED has done a great job on guitar on this and I'm really happy with the result.<br /><br />Lead Guitar:&nbsp; KED<br /><br />Synth, organ, elec piano: Self Tort<br /><br />Drums, bass programming: Self Tort and Stewart Havill
