Yep, this song was my contribution to the Same Song Title Madness thing we did here back in February. It wasn't bad, but admittedly there were some issues in places where the bass guitar and drums weren't together as tightly as they should have been. I had thrown it together quickly to meet the submission deadline, and couldn't muck with re-recording some of the bits over. It was "close enough".<br /><br />Well, I had some time this weekend (still in Texas on work detail) and pulled out my Boss recorder and mixing/mastering machine, and discovered I still had the song and all its track in it. <br /><br />I deleted the original bass and drum tracks, but left intact the original lead and rhythm guitar tracks and vocals.<br /><br />I&nbsp;pulled out my bass and re-recorded a whole new bass guitar track, playing to the song and to a drum loop set to the basic time of the song. Next, I deleted turned of the drum loop and built a new drum track from the ground up, playing "live" in "real time" to the song. It is not a programmed drum track.<br /><br />Finally, I remixed the whole thing from scratch, kicking up the voacl a bit more, adding more thump to the bass guitar. It might not be perfect, but it's as close to perfect as I can get. It is the blues after all. It shouldn't be perfect, right? lol<br /><br />Anyway, give the remixed, partially re-recorded song a spin and let me know what you think.<br /><br />Paul

I'm doing great, guys, but busy. My wife flew back with me on my last home visit in mid July, so I have had even less time to hang out here and elsewhere. But it's cool.

I was supposed to leave Texas on August 1. It was extended two weeks to August 15. I should have been back in Boston today. Au contraire. I was asked if I could extend beyong August 15, and told the director here in Dallas I would be glad to, but it would be up to my director in Boston. An hour later I was told I was staying through Sept,. 30. I was ecstatic, and my wife was just as happy. We both want to stay here, so the extension until the end of the fiscal year makes that eventual possibility a distinct possibility. We'll see. Might have to return to Boston in October, but hopefully not for long.

Stay in touch!

Paul
