Memories .... memories. All the ingredients are here to give nostalgia .... A highly sophisticated track you've designed, with the sounds of a bygone era. It's really excellent. Glad to hear you again ....
Feel cool just listening to it. Very good sounding sax. Excellent transitions as it progresses. Guitar is prominent in the mix and sits effortlessly. Top production, peace
Thanks allot, Gramo. To be honest, I didn't think too many people would like this one, but so far, it's the most downloaded and commented on. Guess you can never tell what people will like.
Wow...Thanks, I think! I guess that's a compliment. Glad you like the into and outro. Check out Django's Revenge on my list of tracks. It has that same sort of old sound to it.
Yep, I recognize that guitar riff but i like the way you mixed this, with the organ and all. a professional mix, listing to the panning, nothing is jumbled and clashing with each other. nicely done!
only needs some vinyl noise and I feel we are in the 60`s and of course we got internet! anyway really nice timemachine you got here! Thank you for the nice trip! Cheers!
Real nice work !!..you can hear some 50's Doo Wop Style..and some country when the guitar kicks in......luv the sax work..
you nailed it bro.. keep em coming
Thanks allot, TG. Ya know, I debated about second sax, but decided to keep it. These were some loops I had. I couldn't find anything that worked perfectly, but these seemed close enough for jazz!
Very nice work on this one Scott. The only thing this one is missing is a good set of vocals. I agree with you, this really does sound like its a song from back in the day. I really liked the jazz feel you put on this later in the track, that really caught my attention.
Thanks for your kind words. You are right...I'd love to have some vocals on this and many other tracks of mine, but I put out the request, but to no avail. Do you sing? My collaborators and I would love to have you aboard, if you do.
Well it does definitely have a 60's vibe to it and the mixdown is nice and clear. I can't say as i've ever played a tune like this and i'm 39 so i must be missing something lol.
Anyway, i like the style of it and particularly the sax soloing.
This was a good listen and a very enjoyable piece.

Thanks allot, FR. I'm surprised you never played songs of this style before. It's kind of that, "House of the Rising Sun" type vibe which I think everyone has played at one time or another, but maybe I'm wrong.
Really enjoying how cheerful and warm this song sounds, it's always nice to hear a great surf song! Although I'm definitely not old enough to know any of the original artists :)
Hey, TM. Great to hear from a fellow drummer. I appreciate you checking out my track, even though it may be out of your age range. If I can offer a suggestion, you can learn much from older musician, so please don't write them off too quickly.
LMK if I can help in any way.
Cheers,
Scott
P.S. What kit are you using? I restored my 1971 Ludwig Classic kit, in red sparkle, and just finished restoring a 1965 Ludwig Classic kit in vintage marine pearl.
Excellent job Scott! You've captured the feel of that era for sure. Great choice of instruments, fitting for this type of music. I have always loved music from this era and style because they feature great catchy guitar riffs and fills and usually a great guitar tone. Even though some artists from that era used to play slower surf songs, like Link Wray for instance, but I always preferred the upbeat, fun danceable surf style.
Everything is great here, I like how there is a lot going on but there is space in the song to give each instrument it's time to shine. Well done, as usual!!
I agree 100%, my friend! I have a hard time finding something I like in todays music. I remember putting the 45s on and playing my cheap little Sears drum kit to them. The Ventures did a cover of Hawaii Five-O, and my Jr. High band played it and I asked the band director if I could play my full drum kit to it for our concert.
Anyway, thanks for chiming in and leaving your kind words.

I have another oldie in the works that's a real toughie. It's 'Fantasy' by Earth, Wind & Fire. I have over 20 tracks, so far and plan to add more.

Thanks for your comment.
I'd never heard of 'icecream progressions' but I googled it and I believe this track would fall in that category. Thanks for teaching me something.
