on Be with you Saxobones by SLAPJOHNSON
Hey Steve....Jeez man,is anyone in your family bereft of musical ability?..fat chance!lol..This is so on another level since I first heard it,Fiona as they say is the icing on the cake to a superb track.....I love the guitar work especially at play here but there's no doubt the added sensitivity Fiona brings with her vocals puts this track probably as "the single" on the album..do they still do that?..pick a track for 'single' designation...I think I'll only be able to decide when I get the CD and play the whole album start to finish,which will be great!(5 copies would be maximo appreciato compardre)..cheers Dave :)

Crazy man!...You've got a great set of pipes,and this is my only criticism of this super track..Bring the vocals forward in the mix!lol..people always tend to back off with their own voice levels(strange but true)...seriously fantastic track buddy,Baritone Sax is one of my fav sounds and when it's incorporated into your trade mark horn section it blows me away...bass line is wicked!...ahh the WahWah pedal..do you realize I'm a certified WahWah repair man (in my own lunch box that is)lol..give the modulation pot a good squirt of crc,rp7 or whatever brand penetrating spray into it's innards with the extension tube and the thing will be like new.....nuff said...super FunkoRhythmic vibes!!..cheers Dave

Hi Dave, just in the process of getting quotes for 1'000 copies of this album to be pressed. I have loaned a pair of Yamaha HS50M flat response monitors to try and get the best mix I can... We need to tweak one or two solos as Alexander's not happy with a couple of notes here and there ( That's perfectionists for you )! I change the vocals on be with you Dave, it might be worth your while having a listen as it now features Fiona. She has brought a wonderful sensitivity to the track.
I'm hoping to get the whole thing finished by the first week in July ( pressed and packaged ). How many copies would you like me to send?
Cheers, Slap...

on Tower House by Saxobones by SLAPJOHNSON
Nice track! I was thinking it could be nice to end with the intro again, just an idea.
Love the organ and ofcourse the saxes but that goes without saying, the pianosound could be a bit stronger, not especially louder but it could use a bit more body in the chords part.

Hey Slap! I love this song, I did not know you could sing like that, really good!
Everything is great only thing I dont like are the bass and the drums, it sounds so "white" if you know what I mean, the bass part should be played by brasses not by a bassguitar in my opinion, it is a nice part but not for a basguitar, and than some parts not all the time ofcourse. Bas and drums really need a lot more attitude, why dont you try a good bassplayer see what he makes of it, there is a great basplayer on Looperman, Badhuman!
But again very very nice song, great brasses and great vocals, thumbs up.
Paul.

Hi Paul,
I know what you mean by sounding too white lol... If this cd does well and we can fund another I would like your help in the process as I value your opinion and production skills. Again time is not on my side so the bass will have to remain the same this time. Just about to move house and this baby needs to go and get pressed next week in time for the Festival in August...

Cheers, Slap...

Really promising, and good the son to his father .... You should be proud of this result.
Yes! I know, it's a bit trite, but that kind of comment is a way like another to congratulate this symbiosis, existing here, between a father and son .... Excellent as usual and fabulous moment.

on Funk City by Saxobones by SLAPJOHNSON
Let the boy do it!...is that the vocal stab I can hear?..if so that needs to be the title of this track!lol (apropos of Alexander's presence)...Man(men)what a lyrical funk feast this is....you know after I listen to one of your tracks the next day or something,I'll be walking along or whatever and suddenly one of your riff's will go dah,dah,dah,dahdeli,dah in my head!..this is so much better than having an ABBA chorus loop in your brain endlessly like what used to happen in the 70's!...no doubt scientists have a perfectly rational explanation for this phenomenom...the music sounds like a drop of mercury sliding around a plate,people will love it....super musicianship!...ahhh the formative years of brilliance come to mind! lol...cheers Dave :)

Wonderful strings. The rhythm of the saxophone, is devilish as I like. A great track, full of rhythm and color (especially with the horns section). Sounds great.

You can definitely blow some sax. Was that some rotary breathing or did you just hold that note that long? Great track.

Never used an Ipad but I've seen them....technology never ceases to amaze me....Well chaps I can see(hear)the emergence of Alexander's own sound happening and it's a very cool thing to behold indeed..love the phrasing,filthy bass line and signature Saxophony but the synth playing floored me..wow!....Look,if this is an indicator of whats to come,is there any chance I can buy some shares now! lol...Quite apart from enjoying this very groovy music,it's a privilege(not trying to sound soppy here,but it's true) to witness the growth that's happening within your musical family.....one day in an interview you'll be reminiscing about tracks such as this one....FDUB! (fair dinkum unfuc*ing believable) Dave :)

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Now then Dave, hows the epic track coming along with the Geoff Boycott narrative lol.. The world of ipad and apps especially for music related projects is pretty vast mate. The two Alexander used on this track were just scratching the surface, time permitting over the next week we should have this whole album in the can and finally mixed and ready for pressing. I have to thank you for your continuing support on so many levels, your wise words mean a lot to us both. Edinburgh best look out when Saxobones arrive in town from August 5th....

Cheers, Slap...

Hey Slap, imagine if we had this technology when we were kids just getting into music....... Sounds like the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree, way to go guys, sounds great. You never seem to disappoint!!

Hi Wayne, I wonder how far technology will have advanced when Alexander reaches my age! Ipad is an awesome piece of kit which can cater for all interests due to it's extensive apps. I would have loved to have one of these when I was younger, but alas I had to make do with Pacman! lol...

Cheers, Slap...
