Thanks Mykael!

I've always loved the sound of piano and acoustic guitar together.

Wayne

Thanks!

Hope the meeting went well.

Wayne

Thanks zootman! If you ever want to add words just let me know and I'll send you the tracks. The lyrics I had written were too serious to go with the 'lightness' of the track so I opted to make it an instrumental instead.

Cheers!

Wayne

Timeless was how I described the chord changes to someone earlier in the day, you can go back decades and find these chord changes in songs. To me this sounds like a song from the 50's.

Thanks!

Wayne

That is a Martin D10e Sapele acoustic guitar from the Road Series line of guitars Martin put out for the working musician, cheap but with decent quality.

All the acoustic guitar was played by me for this song, no loops used.

Wayne

Thanks Micky.

I've always loved simple songs. The Everly Bros and Buddy Holly wrote the simplest, most wonderful songs and they were so basic in the chords, changes and lyrics. They have so much soul, depth and meaning yet they are written so that a beginner musician could play and perform them. I tried to do the same here, the old 'keep it simple stupid' method.

Wayne

Thanks Patricia! Fun song, fun movie.

Stay safe.

Wayne

Appreciate the nice words.

Chris Hein Horns, a bit pricey but pretty decent, used them for a while on an older computer I had.

Wayne

It's funny, you'll laugh all the way thru. The lyrics will make more sense once you see the character Dewey Cox in the film.

Cheers!

Wayne

I agree, worth watching, you'll laugh a lot for sure. But watching the Walk the Line movie first will make it even funnier because you'll see all the references to Johnny Cash's life in that film.

Not overly happy with the midi horns but it gets the point across. Fun to put together.

Wayne

As I was putting this together last week I bought the movie and have watched it a couple times since, pretty funny movie. It's up there with School of Rock as far as fun, lighthearted music movies go. Plus the music is great in it, bonus!

Here's John C. Riley at the NPR Tiny Desk Concert with some friends playing behind the desk, great podcast, btw.

We get awesome surf, big surf spot at the inlet. Enjoy your chop! Getting a metal detector this week, be spending mornings and evenings at the beach diggin' pirate treasure and pull tabs.

Be safe!

Wayne

Thanks! It went well in the Walk Hard movie, actually. Funny movie, a comedic satire on the Johnny Cash movie Walk the Line. It is in a minor key so it gives it that "tarentino" feel to it I suppose.

Thanks!

Wayne

Thanks Bou!

Just a quick idea, nothing too well worked out but I like the feel of it aw well. :)

Wayne

Hey Patricia, great to see you!

Thanks, just something to get me in the mood for summer and to work on a quick project.

Wayne

Cool man, glad you liked it!

Wayne

me too!

I hear things that need fixing like track volume levels. I would also go back and arrange some things differently, change some vocal stabs, add better guitar licks...

The drum loops I feel would have limited me to some extent if I spent the usual 2 weeks mixing but that was sorta good for this exercise in a way as I didn't have to fuss too much with them.

Thanks!

Wayne

Hey Mark! Something quick and a little out of my comfort zone, reggae isn't something I play often.

All the tracks were one takes and 2 quick mixes. Little rough in spots where I could easily go back and adjust/fix but that wasn't the purpose of the song.

Take care!

Wayne

Probably only the 3rd reggae song I ever put together and considering the tracking took about half an hour I think it came out ok. I was thinking more of this one for music behind a surf video, instrumental rather than full of words, background music to some cool surf clips.

Thanks for the nice words, cheers!

Wayne

Thanks man!

Just something fast I threw together as a personal challenge. Needs some work on just about everything but I like it.

Wayne

Hey Leon! Thanks!

I know the songs his style of playing is suited for when I put these tracks together. When he jumps on a track I feel confident he will play what is needed for the track. I just noodle on electric guitar as it's not what I feel the most comfortable playing but Jim attacks it with reckless abandon and I like that style. He even surprises himself when he hears what I put together from his tracking sessions.

His wife was walking around the house singing "Uh Oh Ee Uu!" after she heard it, ha! She liked the song when it came out too I guess.

Wayne

We certainly have a similar musical thought process that when we record we just seem to get it done the way we are both pleased with the outcome, except for my mixing skills. he

Cheers!

Wayne

It's an oldie but goodie!

Thanks for swinging by!

Wayne

Thanks!

Someone on youtube did a professional video for it filmed in L.A. where they were able to digitally remove all the vehicles on the highways and streets while people skateboarded down empty once busy roads. But the guy took it down, bummer.

Appreciate the comments, sorry for the late response.

Wayne

Thanks! I just followed a fairly laid out and somewhat predictable formula for writing this one. Honestly I like how his one turned out too.

Appreciate the visit and comment!
