Very nice interpretation! Like!

I kept close to the original, added a few different things and ditched the lead, it made the song too long.

Thanks!

Great version of a classic. I used to have an lp of a women called Julie Driscoll singing season of the witch, loved that song but never knew it was written by Donovan. Anyway nice work man.

Al his music is playable, basic chords and structure. I could do Season of the Witch, played along with it earlier. Here is his version:

Truly a boomer classic, I remember listening to this one as a very wee lad. You did it, justice mate!

I think this was in the Minions movie, fairly recent flick, exposing it to a younger audience.

Thanks man!

Pretty sure Woody Guthrie's tapping his toes to this in his grave. Nice, clean production too. Great job man.

Sweet song man, and yep totally sounds like you're right here in the room. And I think only you would ever use the words choo choo in a song here :)
theHumps
theHumps replied 16th Jan 2022 - 3 years ago
Ha! I was wondering if I'd get a comment on the choo choo line. Fun to sneak something like that in a song, gets the kids interested in riding the rails.

I love hearing the live track. The guitar sounds clean. Reminds me of Bob Dylans and Johnny Cashs Travelin’ Thru. That is a fun listen.

Thanks Mr. Smokey!

I agree, has the Johnny Cash sorta feel.

Man... What a way to start the New Year.
I love this track. It sounds like you are
right here in the room. To me, the Mastering
is off the charts.

Great track. Faved.

PEACE...

theHumps replied 10th Jan 2022 - 3 years ago
Thanks Jynxz!

It's not technically mastered but I get what you are saying. Been working on gain staging lately, been helping with the clarity of the tracks.

Be safe, Happy New Year!

GET ME A TICKET BRO....GREAT TRACK....ALSO REMINDING ME 2MIN IS ENOUGH FOR A SONG....

theHumps replied 8th Jan 2022 - 3 years ago
You don't need a ticket the way he travels in the song my friend. The MAN isn't getting paid for the trip, lol!

I'm not sure what else I could've done to add to it so it became a short song.

Stay safe.

So cool to hear a new song from you my friend! Leave it to you to make some real authentic folk, with all the pleasure intact! That guitar sounds really nice, sounds like you are experimenting with your mic placement, and it's working! Really good to hear your work again! Favorite for sure!
theHumps
theHumps replied 8th Jan 2022 - 3 years ago
Thanks, good to see ya around Patrick!

Yeah, I might have found a sweet spot, I just recorded it again and got a nice level and tone. I had it mixed with some drums and vocals and they were fitting in the mix better.

Take care man, be safe!

Hey Ed!

Thanks! I bought a Martin D 10 Sapele(mahogany) acoustic guitar last year and have been moving the mic around to see where it records the best and I tried a different placement on this track and am happier with the sound. Plus the guitar is starting to warm up a bit more, starting to age a bit, getting it's individual tone. It was a bit mid-rangy when I first got it, gonna age nicely I think. Always loved the sound of those old Martin dark mahogany guitars.

Take care buddy!

Gran tema amigo Wayne, me encanta la limpieza y la claridad de sonido que consigues en tus pistas. Tu voz y tus letras consiguen acaparar toda mi atención y la guitarra es perfecta. Otro gran tema hermano. Que tengas una buena tarde y un prospero y feliz año nuevo. Paz y salud en el mundo.

I've been working on gain staging lately, getting the individual track to a proper volume basically. It's been making a positive difference.

Keep safe!

You can only hop onboard if you have your covid card showing you've had your shots and all aboard need to keep at least 1 boxcar separation, he.

Great track - fun lyric and very fun, but cool and classy arrangement

Btw
IF you dont already know it check out The Mountain Goats 2015 album beat the champ - all inspired by wrestling
In my view their entire catalogue is worth checking out - and Ive seen the band live 3 times too (great)
theHumps
theHumps replied 14th Dec 2021 - 3 years ago
Glad you liked it! The arrangement's a bit weird but it works.

I'll check the Goats out for sure, sounds like a fun listen already! Thanks!

As always very well wrote Wayne, very funny, laughing at this, so much character, just like wrestling, I have friends who are both pro cage fighters, UFC and Bellator, love the fight game all styles, tough boys step in the ring. And yep I watched wrestling as a kid, the English stuff though absolutely hilarious, big daddy, giant haystacks, kendo nagasackie, Mick macmanass. These where household names in the 70s uk,started Saturday early evening after the football results. I can't believe forty fifty years later their names just roll of my tongue, thanks for the memory jog :)))

It's pretty funny the things you remember from being young, wrestling was part of my youth. I grew out of it when the real world of working for a living kicked in. Hulk Hogan, Bruno Samartino, Bob Backlin.... memories! lol

A fun track you created here, Wayne! I used to watch wrestling all the time, strangely enough, I don't remember a Sgt. Slaughter, but yet I remember the signature move. This track is making me want to get back into now. Great track. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.
theHumps
theHumps replied 9th Dec 2021 - 3 years ago
Thanks, I grew out of it as I became a young adult but one of my brothers used to go to the live events all the time, real fanatical about it.

Here is a quick clip of Sgt. Slaughter demonstrating the Cobra Clutch in a radio studio on one of the announcers. Maybe this will help you remember him.

I remember the Undertaker and his ghoulish manager, lol.

Steve Austin was in a different federation so I knew of him but didn't get to see him too often.

Thanks!

Wayne, this is a fun track. It is well made, sounds good and the lyrics are just hilarious. You say you wrote them yourself?

You know, as kids, my brother and I also used to watch WWF wrestling on the weekends. If I remember correctly it was after the morning cartoons. Wow what a throwback. =D
theHumps
theHumps replied 9th Dec 2021 - 3 years ago
Thanks Ella!

The lyrics are pretty funny, well, generally speaking wrestling was a hoot. It was wrestling for an hour, maybe 2 if we were lucky then it was the WLVI Channel 56(out of Boston) Creature Double feature which was 2 B rated horror films.

These were the good old days when you spent more time adjusting the antenna's to get better reception than watching the program.

I really liked this tune Wayne. Instruments sound great and the story is very entertaining. Nice vocals. The whole song was great. Sounds like blues to me tho, has that flavor to it.
Do you still splice fiber optic? =)
theHumps
theHumps replied 5th Dec 2021 - 3 years ago
Thanks!

A large majority of rock songs use a blues progression like I did here. There is a blues feel in that regard.

No, I don't splice fiber optics anymore, I am retired.

Thanks but my voice isn't a gift, unless you consider those prank gifts you give to tease someone.

I don't really have a lead vocal kind of voice so I make it rough sounding so it doesn't sound like Barry Manilow and bore people. I wouldn't sing like this if I was singing in a chorus for example. It is what it is.
