    Complaining that there are hypocrites in church is like complaining that fat people use the gym. Where else would you have them be?

    Great solo. It was perfect for the song. Nice vocals also.

        Beautiful song!

        Care for a couple of suggestions or is that done?

          Question: What is the writing process? Just wondering.

            IDK if that was a final mix, but the CDs are being pressed now.

            writing varies. Most songs are 90% the drummer. 99% of the guitar riffs are his. I simply add my touch to them. I tend to suggest adjustments to arrangements based on vocal phrasing. Sometimes my contribution is significant. Sometimes not. I do modify Melodie’s and phrasing often from the original idea, so now he tends to give a framework for melody and let’s me do my thing.

            For this song, he gave me lyrics and I wrote the music.

            The lead just came out one night during practice. I decided I liked it. There is no other guitar in this song.

              I have to say, I’M JOLLY APPROVED!

              That is a landmark accomplishment!

              There is a reprise to this song that I’ll post when I get it.

              One chorus from this tune, 3 choruses unique to the reprise, then an extended outro. I’m curious if my influences will be evident to others.

                I'd have punched up the lead in the mix a touch, and of course, added some more verb to the vocals. It seems you guys may just do drier vocals than I like.

                Suggestion: Double the vocal track, set a big FLANGED reverb on it, and then mix in not-too-much. I found out this is actually the secret use of the Holy Grail Flerb setting. Not for guitars - vocals. Makes a very cool sound.

                Cool on the reprise. Looking for ward to that!

                  Doesn't the flanged reverb make it a bit overly sybillant?

                    I see what you are saying - but not when the reverb is huge and mixed way down. It just kind of drifts in and out. Puts a little motion on it - but you can't tell where/why.

                        Good stuff Les! I agree with Ace, I would prefer a little more 'verb/depth to the vocal sound, but that's more a matter of taste.

                          Kerry and Kansas for one.
                          Listening to this song and a couple more good stuff. Definitely get a Kansas vibe from them all.
                          Miss playing original stuff as has been a while. This was from the last studio project I was part of but that was over 10 years ago.

                            CDs were shipped last week. I guess I’ll find out if that was a final mix.
