Ok Scott Im definitely loving that Farfisa toned organ. Vocals are fire as well as that brass with the BARI! That trumpet solo is over the top! Nice one! Peace.

Bonjour Dan,

Glad you tracked this one down. Always look forward to your comments of my tracks. Yep, love my oldies and since they don't make new oldies anymore, I have to create them myself!

And wishing you a prosperous and melodic New Year as well!

Cheers,
Scott

This is so cool, absolutely love the funky vibe you have here. Great bass, sweet guitar, LOVE the LALALA's!!!! Some nice musicianship and song construction, all the instruments get their moment in the sunshine in some way. Great horn tracks, you play?

Merry Christmas!

Thanks allot, Wayne. I really appreciate your kind words. Unfortunately, I can't find much of todays music that I like enough to put in my collection, so I love creating music that sounds like it is not from the last few decades. I guess you know your getting old when you say, 'today's music just aint what it use to be!'

Merry Christmas,
Scott

Well....you up an went funky on us in the very best of ways Scott...Haha...this is great stuff man...just the kind of uplifting listening that gets a smile going & the parts moving...70s were absolutely great funk years...although I would have to confess I hadn`t heard it until James E Brown (The Godfather) hit the airways...& how could you not love what was going on....I a big B3 organ fan since Green Onion days (yeah I`m that old)..haha...super job on this one Scott....Best of the season to you...Ed

Hey, Ed, always a pleasure to hear from you and reading your kind words. Yeah, I think the majority of my music collection is made up of the 70's. Don't feel bad...Green Onion and other Booker T and the MGs songs are sitting proudly in my collection, and who, of our age, doesn't like The Godfather!

Best to you as well, and Merry Christmas,

Scott

Super cool track here! I'm loving the wah guitars very much, and I can't get enough vintage organ, so this does it for me! Definitely an uplifting vibe! I think it would be funny to fill out the lyrics tab with "La la la la" or something like that... he he... Each part of the song has it's own vibe, which I like. Very good mixing on this one too, it sounds pretty vintage! Sweet track!
ScottB55
ScottB55 replied 21st Dec 2013 - 12 years ago
Thanks, Spivkurl. That is exactly what I was going for. I love that old 60's and 70's sound and instruments. I will be doing much more of this stuff in the future, in between the Latin/jazz stuff I do with Franco.

I took your suggestion about adding the la la's to the lyrics tab...Thanks!

Merry Christmas!

Scott
Danke

Hahh...awesome...Scott, you know what? I'm hearing from the first part, the LP from Status Quo, Pictures of matchstick man...hell knows, why? :-)

Great one as usual...

Scott, wish you Merry Christmas and lots of good music from your lab in 2014, too...

Danke
ScottB55
ScottB55 replied 21st Dec 2013 - 12 years ago
You are right, Danke. I didn't notice the similarity to the Status Quo song, but now that you mention it, it does have that same sound. I guess it's a tremolo sound? You would know better, but it was that 60's sound that was used allot back than. I love the fact that I can create old music, today. I'm so glad you and a few others here feel the same way. I think if an actual band did this, they would find they could make some good bucks!

And...A Merry Christmas to you as well!

Cheers,
Scott

Fabulous Scott. Wonderful.

Great title too. So nice to hear drumming like that (excellent toms!) and good structure. Solo (2.55) is so full of life! The only thing is I was feeling like a bridge was missing (2 other chords repeated to get us back to the G / F / C / Bb) but the breaks are perfectly placed and lovely 1960's 'stereo recording' (hard left / right instrument panning for those lucky people with 'stereo' record decks!).

Top work, beautifully recorded and just...full of happy.

Cheers

Thanks allot, Maff. I really appreciate your kind words. I always wondered if anyone else remembered the hard left and right panning of the early days. I have thousands of the early stuff and sometimes it's hard to get a good sound with today's hi tech equipment.

Merry Christmas!

Scott

Description : My third rap song. Still not entirely sure how I got here, but I'm having fun with it. This time, I brought along my alter ego, Cool Grandpa. He's got more swagger than I do and helps bring a little street cred (although not much) to the operation.

Description : Unfiltered. Just me and the Squier Stratocaster. Comp edited the recorded guitar freestyle clips so it all sounds like it was recorded in one take. I used one of my old beats. Trying to get my guitar to scream was my goal, but in the process i made the guitar make sounds i didn't know it could make.
