I would never let him touch it...except for the right price, naturally.
I looked it up. Heh. I would have thought Hoppy would have been one of Kinky Friedman’s Chaiwaymen.
Nope. I have an awesome voice.
Just ask Shimmer1.
But really, I’d send the track as is and find a way to promote it, so it doesn’t end up in demo hell.
It can be tracked as is but, would be hilarious live, to play with and get a crowd going.
Good job.
Amazingly, no one was using the name professionally. Humanity never ceases to amaze me.
Truth be told, I was influenced by AC/DC , who put the voice a bit farther back in the mix than most. Maybe I put it a bit too far back.
My next step is to promote it, but I need to learn how. Again, I’ll cheerfully accept advice, and in the meantime will be hitting Google.
A live performance sounds like a great idea, but I’d have to get a band together. I’ll keep my eyes open.
Good suggestions. Much obliged.
All the same, I wouldn’t quit my day job and move to Nashville just yet. I’ll see if I can get you booked at the Chicken Wire Bar.
Other than the fact that “truck” don’t rhyme with “good”, it was good!
You ain’t quittin’ school, are ya?
No, I mean in Band in a Box, it’s called a violin. By the way, violin is simply more specific that fiddle: Violas and viols were also called fiddles; Viols are four-to-six-stringed instruments that are much like with frets.
Too bad Parsifal rode the lightning.
I think was a studio player for demo’s and setups.
He could have helped.
Make a contact who has a contact.
maybe find out who’s playing at the next state fair and see if they wanna run it.
> I’ll see if I can get you booked at the Chicken Wire Bar.
Cool. I’ll start pricing rhinestone-studded riot armor.
Well, I sure wasn’t going to use what it did rhyme with.
Nope, not quitting school. Full-time pharmacists eat a bit better than full-time songwriters.
It was backward Elvis’ized.
In the latter recordings they kept bringing his voice forward of the instruments.
He disagreed and wanted a more balanced sound but, the bills kept cummin and the songs kept selling.
It was their view Elvis’ voice was the product.
You find a better sound in the remixes being played these days.
Again, appreciated. One reason I posted the song here was because Freepers are very well educated, and I figured I could get some good advice. (Aside from the fact that I wanted my FRiends to hear it, of course.)
Huh. I did not know that.
In some of the music I hear (both old and new), the voice is so far in front of band it doesn’t really sound like they’re playing together. Never liked that.
You are a very great blessing for all of us! (((Hugs)))
Bttt.
