Dear Wayne, I like how you put it and I think you're right. This, as probably all my music, comes out of a soup of influences that's really just the stuff I grew up listening to, which goes back across the last 5 or 6 decades. Different to me is a good word. I long ago accepted the fact that I'm strange, weird, and odd. That this piece is maybe a bit baffling musically I'm ok with. In the end we just make stuff we like to listen to, pretty much, and this is one I would crank up on the road to Vegas.

Thanks, Wayne. I appreciate the kind words and the listen and feedback. I, unfortunately, lost the Master to this and a bunch of other tracks in a computer crash. I have been debating about going in and trying to re-record them again.

Thanks again. Always nice to get feedback.

Thank you, Wayne. I only wish I knew how to get songs on the radio. That would be nice. But until then, all the songs I recorded with Sunny War are at thesunnysessions.com, if you ever care to check them out.

Thanks Wayne i struggled with this to make it work sometimes less is more so i have cut it down lots to make it fit thanks for the comment best regards.

It's never too late my friend..:) Touring with Ed...wow, that would be fun. Thank you so much for continuous support
and liking our work !

With much appreciation_____Leon

Cheers Wayne.
I've got a thing about building rhythms at the moment.
Thanks for your time mate.

merci beaucoup encore!

55 songs in multiple sessions over 5-1/2 months, not just one session...

Thanks for the comment and feedback!

Yeah, these are ridiculous times. When Watergate was going on, which I remember well, we had just come out of the turbulent '60s, the protests, the Civil Rights movement, the riots, the assassinations, Walter Cronkite on the CBS Evening News with the nightly body counts, the Kent State killings, etc. Nixon had just kicked off the unconstitutional and illegal "War on Drugs" in order to target first Vietnam protesters and then blacks, and here we are, 46 years later, still waging that suicidal mission against ourselves. Having been alive for a long sweep of history, I look back and it's pretty clear that that's where the slippery slope really started which has landed us at this low point of moral degeneracy and sheer insanity as a country. I can't even begin to process the scope of our degradation and lack of understanding of the most basic, basic aspects of democracy, freedom, and decency - not to mention the ability to differentiate good from evil. It's no surprise that the stunning violence of Americans on Americans is growing every day. As hopeless as it is, all I can do is make songs as my witness to the insanity and my criticism of the bullshit. Otherwise I'd go crazy. Thanks for listening and for your thoughtful comment, I really appreciate it!

Thanks Wayne. I appreciate that you hear the meticulous EQ-ing, haha. Also glad that you think this is an accessible piece of music, I really try to harness pop sensibility without sacrificing artistic integrity.

Glad you enjoyed!

Cheers to you as well

This is all recorded with a C214! Great microphone. It's a good choice for vocals and acoustic instruments. But of course, a lot of the soul comes from compression and EQ too!

Hello!

Well, that "live" word is not really true - played on guitar, but what you hear is a looped and edited thing. I play it dozen times then get the most acceptable one and upgraded it to get a few loops. You don't want to hear the worst tries, i sweat blood with the editing of the best ones too and the result is still crap if you hear it standalone. :D

Regards, traz

I geuss smoking helps me get that sound (and destroys all others) raspy and out of breath. I still want cowbel!

Hi Wayne, That is real guitar. I used amp sims by La pou.
Plugged the gat straight into my laptop.
Geeze I thought the gat sounded good. lol...

Yeah, I had a few friends steward the gig, thankfully none were harmed.
I'm still in shock by it, where it happened used to be a haven to the "alt" kids from all across Greater Manchester, a place to escape the daily hostility & violence of scallies (chavs) and come together. I kissed my first girl there, first time getting pissed, wrecked, met my best friends, went to my first gig at the MEN and countless adventures.
Spent many nights being silly teenagers in that station.
Might sound a bit silly but that area is very sentimental to a lot of people.

I still can't believe it, I didn't think this kind of thing would affect me so badly, I pray it doesn't happen again.

Thanks for stopping by man, I've got a new tune in the works fueled by the whatever it is I'm feeling right now.

merci beaucoup ! https://www.looperman.com/tracks?page=1&gid=3&dir=d

Namaste.
You're not actually of any use for traffic calming after all then!
Thank you mister Hump for the kind and encouraging comments.
