Hey, thanks again TG.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the 'dude' loop at the beginning and end. I thought everyone saw 'Fast Times at Rigemont High.'

Cheers,
Scott

Oh is there a group called Funkedelics? ha ha... Need to start listening to them soon as well ha ha..
But anyways, I enjoyed your track still. I had no reference to any songs before, so enjoyed from the beginning.

Absolutely...They were quite well known in the 70s and continued a bit in the 80s. They were very heavy funk. Here's some info if interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funkadelic

Hi DJ, Glad you like it, but this is an original. Not the Funkadelics. Guess it does sound a bit like them.

Scott...
Maaaan.... This hits the nail on the head 4 me...Crazy Good...

I've listened to just about all of your tracks, you've got a bunch that don't have
Guitar that fall right in my wheelhouse...I didn't comment because I was
just cruising your page...
Be fun to see what could be done, if that's OK with you..?

Your timing is spot on and dynamic senseabilities are off the chart, creativity
is historically connected by roots, making your Music ready for tomorrow...
I can tell you run by feel, keeping it real...

I'm hoping that Danjoy4 track will not be our last....

Peace...TG.

Hi TG,

Thanks for checking out my track and hitting me up with your kind words. Do you see what I was talking about having trouble with the 'KISS' process, but looks like you are ok with it.

Also, thanks for checking out my other tracks. I also have two other pages here if interested. One is with my Italian collaborator, Franco: http://www.looperman.com/users/tracks/1009617, and one I just started with covers to favorite songs of mine: http://www.looperman.com/users/tracks/1186559

Sure, if you want to mess around with some of my tracks feel free. I actually work with two guitarist, Midiman and Ferryterry (Franco) but maybe we can so something one day. How is your keyboard skills? I think your style of soul, jazz, and funk are very close to what I'm doing now. Franco leans more Latin and jazz, and James (midiman) more rock which I also love if the rock is not too heavy. Midiman700's page has some tracks I played on.

Anyway...Keep on keeping on, my friend!

Cheers,
Scott

This really is funky, Interesting beat pattern and time signature.
The soloing and blending of instruments is superb and the melodies, breakdowns and lyrics are all cool as well.
It sounds like an old 8 track recording which gives it a kind of retro feeling,
Very good.

Thanks allot FR,

I appreciate you checking out my track and leaving your comment.

My drums are a bit more intense than most, since I'm a drummer, but the time signature is actually 4/4. The drums make it sound different since the snare is not on 2 and 4. Most of my stuff usually turns out retro sounding since much of my influence was the retro groups, which kinda dates me!

Cheers,
Scott

Hey Ed, Thanks allot, my friend. When I found this pella I knew it would lend itself to some of my funk/jazz style. Yeah, it does sound a bit like Carlos, now that you mention it.

Much appreciated, Ed.
