Is it just the one song ? or is all my timing out.. its hard when you just record at home.. so I dunno..
I do like to use delay's and whah n stuff, maybe less delay or re arange the drums some how..
dunno..???? and how the heck do I make this text bigger..
I want to thank everybody.. all you fine musicians and nice folks who I enjoy listening to and trading comments with.. for listening and commenting.. and you Di man.. DICARLO for suggesting the necessary remix.. the last guitar solo had a real hot spot at the beginning and i had been wanting to redo one little phrase in the first guitar bit anyway.. SO.. here is an alround better mix of night games I hope and thanks again for listening..
cheers..

Some cool stuff going on in the music...
I have posted two songs since I last Blogged:
One was a Christmas tune that will be coming off the site soon and put in moth balls until next Christmas Season. This song had Warren Peese helpign me out by playing the drums. A big thank you to Warren for that because that made the first song I've ever posted where jaug didn't tell me I needed "real drums." That's a huge relief... The song also had WildHoneyPie singing. This isn't the collab we've been working on, but it's something and it made me feel like I was ready to make Music again, so... Virtual High-Five all around!
The other was a song that I sang on... Hehe, I can't listen to the song any more, but I've received a lot of feedback on it, so that all good too.
A current project I'm playing with: I have a draft of a tune that I'm working on - just the guitar rhythm track at this point. I've sent this draft to three exceptional singers to have them put their creative stamp on. There are no limits or rules to what they can and can't do with it. Hopefully, once we're all done we'll have 4 different songs from the same seed idea. I'm hoping to debut them all together to see what everybody came up with.
An official apology/I promise I haven't forgotten you to:
Imellow64/Michael
Wizard Sleeve
Rasmuth
Gabriel
Warren Peese
WildHoneyPie
I promise I will get to it... 
That's about it for this month. Go record. listen, and have fun.
Ahem... You know it's coming.... It's All About The Music! :devil:
Thank you to everyone who's taken a few minutes to not only listen to my music here, but were kind enough to write a few words too! Much appreciated!

<b>a thin line, thick skin, steel resolve</B>
<B>i</b>t is an amazing, and odd thing this: making art and parading it before the masses. those who do it for the sake of the art-form--to contribute to the canon, to elevate it, to expand the boundaries governing the genre--often feel frustrated by the efforts of entertainers and industry folk whose primary motive is bottom line. Many pimp and prostitute the arts for bucks and fame and leave a plethora of mediocrity in their wake.
<B>t</b>o borrow from a source of inspiration and lend it to this context, think J5 and think thin line. Artists walk a very thin line. Of paramount importance, is the expressive voice finding life on their canvas of choice--paint, movement, stage, mic, sp1200.
<B>t</B>his is the world, and life, filtering through my perception, my beliefs and my integrity... struggling to find its voice in my music. Like any voice it yearns for the receptive ear. Those ears that are sympathetic love the music--the lyrical content, the flows, the feelings evoked, the little piece of soul that is on offer for embellishment of their cypher. But, the artist needs to eat too, and the message needs to reach. Therefore, we need to find a balance (like atmosphere), we are looking for a balance: while i am no advocate of formulaic musical composition, we still need the right formula: <I>artistry</I> in terms of music and lyric, some <I>bumpability</I>, some <I>funk</I>, the <I>head-nod factor</I> and <I>quality control</I>. Believe me when i tell you a touch of mass appeal will not hurt your career, your music, and if your head is on right--connected to your heart and soul, it will not hurt your integrity either.
<B>e</b>ven with all the right ingredients, there will be folks who don't feel it, can't understand it, don't like it, and use words like crap and poopy and ain't real, to describe it. Let your skin be thick and your armour impenetrable. Stay focused on the voices of you calling as the resonate from your soul throughout your being--do not cross them, undervalue them or deny them, or they will dissipate and be lost.
<B>y</B>ou need to be detached from self enough to remain untouched and undaunted by the non-constructive criticism of naysayers. You need to be attached enough to that inner voice the driving catalyst in your artistic endeavours, to steel your resolve.
<B>y</b>ou got music (visual art, dance, theatre, writing) to make. Make it. Do it for yourself, and humanity, and for the sake of art. Do it to appease that creative voice - an unheard voice is a lonely.
--this is what I will tell my sons when they begin to create.
