Thank you, Wayne, and good luck with the doctors! I have had many ear infections and many poor ear doctors, so be careful! If your hearing is diminished, it may be because you have fluid in your eustachian tube, something a competent doctor can deal with easily but an incompetent doctor will misdiagnose as permanent hearing loss. So be careful and good luck!

Hey Wayne - thanks mate - I didnt like the first one I made with the new drum machine much so went straight onto making this track - If I'd had a drink or smoke I'd never have got it done though it might have been more fun hey : )

jaguar i do have a jazz master but this is a jaguar it screams surf or grunge tones hass 2 single semour duncans stock all the switches and floating tremlo thanks for the comment

Thank you!
I have a monkey hat that I sometimes wear to remind me of where we came from. Just kidding. I wear it to amuse my grandkids.
The past is interesting to learn about because it's always changing. Or, that is, our understanding of it is.
I'm interested in the sunken continents like Beringia and Doggerland. I believe they're rich with ancient settlements, artifacts and bones that would completely change our human storyr, but we can't get to them as they're underwater. It always amazes me that, the more we know, the less we know. Everything I learned in school is now wrong. But, I guess, that just keeps it interesting.

Hi Wayne, I really appreciate the kind words from a musician as talented as you are. I'm always happy when you like a song of mine and that my disco-heavyness doesn't get on your nerves ;)
Cheers,
Micky

Hello Wayne, Oh, we also don't know exactly whether we understand it ourselves. Thanks for listening. Glad you liked it!

Hello Wayne,

I know you're no stranger to the feeling after pulling an all-nighter playing with the band.

We'd practice at Mark's house almost all night, then we;
(Hamp-Vocals RIP) (Big Ant-Bass) (Mark- Drums) and myself (just starting out on Keys). We'd get in Marks car, that had a monster stereo, and we'd cruise Downtown until the sun came up listening to Tower of Power/Return to forever/Graham Central station or whoever we were into at the time. Those were the best times of my life.

Sorry for being so wordy (2nd cup of coffee)lol

Thanks for stopping by and giving the track a listen
and for the encouraging comments.

PEACE...

Hi Wayne,
well, two years ago I checked with Looperman and they replied "covers only if you got permission". I think I'm just too honest. Funny, although I'm actually as subversive as can be and have a lot of criminal energy. All right: on your own responsibility ;) ... then I'll dare my cover versions. By the way: I'm Your Boogie Man is an excellent choice. There's a "dance part" in the middle, just the rhythm section with guitar (timelessly good) - I've sampled that before and made a track of it. Listening to Jerome Smith inspired me to buy a Telecaster. He was one of my absolute guitar heroes!

Good succeed! Cheers,

Micky

Hello Wayne,
oh man, KC have always been one of my absolute favorites!
I've been meaning to cover "I Get Lifted" for a long time, at least I think it's more of a possibility than say "Get Down Tonight" - impossible to cover let alone improve on - it's just perfect the way it is! But I wouldn't dare without official permission. My experience so far has been that it's super hard to get official permission to do a cover if you want to do it non-commercially, just for fun. So I better save myself the trouble...
Thanks for the nice comment,
Micky

Hey Wayne, yeah it's now been 8 days of the Omnincron Covid for me now. Like a Bad cold, I can't shake. The good news is that I am double vaxxed with a booster so I should not end up in a hospital. Just kinda in a no-mans-land right now with a slight cough, slight stuffy nose, slight fatigue, and no sense of smell. I wanted to capture the feeling of fogginess in the song and come out of it with clarity at the end. I asked Flea, but he was too busy telling me to Fook off, so now, I had to settle on loops. At 100BPM it's the perfect walking Cadence. I wish I had more Food choices for delivery round my parts. Thanks for stopping on by.

thanks for listening Wayne, feel like I need to do some good old-tiney song writing at the moment but nothings coming yet!

Hey Wayne,

You've just given me some homework. I have to check out
the Brand New Heavies.

I'm glad you liked my arrangement and the Synth sound I'm
still working on hopefully one day I'll get the exact sound I hear in my head.

Thank you for giving my track a listen and for the informative and encouraging comments.

PEACE...

Wayne, thanks for stopping by. Hate to break it to you but I'm not the master mind behind the instrumental/beat. That's a producer that goes by the name of Kozy, you could find him on soundcloud. A walk In the park indeed. I was trying to do something that lived up to Sandra's Rose by Drake, firee song if you haven't heard it yet I reccomend it.

I will check this stuff out, and thank you. And I would in turn draw your attention to macrophages. Watch them chasing bacteria and eating them and realize there's some form of consciousness and intelligence going on there at the cellular level. This is in our own body, uncontrolled by our brain, multiplied times a billion. Then watch videos on mycorrhizae, underground networks of fungal roots and plant roots that are intelligent networks spanning entire forests and connecting thousands of plants. Begin to understand that the forest is a single organism, with its intelligence undergound and consisting of networks of roots. You can watch videos of fluids moving through the mycorrhizae, then instantly changing direction. An intelligent decision being made where there is no brain. Then look into the cosmic web of dark matter that existed shortly after the Big Bang, which consolidated hydrogen into the first super massive black holes which now seem to be the central pillar of every galaxy (and there are trillions). Do you see where this is going. Networked matter is the source of intelligence in our universe, whether under the ground or in our own brains or in the structure of the universe. And then I suggest studying waves. Everything moves in waves, including electromagnetism which you mention. Anyway, fascinating stuff!

Thank you for your great review, I appreciate it very much !!

Thank you, Wayne. I, too, watch tons of YouTube videos on everything from ancient footprints to black holes. It is crazy interesting to learn about everything, because everything's connected. The shit we learned is school was all wrong -- all of it -- and the only way to really understand anything at all is to keep learning your whole life, because your brain is a muscle, and the more you use it, the stronger it gets. Learning, thus, for me, is a spiritual journey. So yeah, I love to learn about the ancients and how they lived. Lately, I'm really interested in Gobekli Tepe and the ancient Egyptians. I think the past is wide open and being completely rewritten. There may have been waves of civilization that were lost. I'm open-minded about everything -- just fascinated with it all, as it sounds like you are. Thank you!

Hey Wayne,
I hope you are well mate.
Many thanks for your kind feedback.
I am glad you liked it.
I really appreciated it.
Maj

I definitely agree with your statement!

Thank you! it would be great to hear something like that.

Hey Wayne, thanks so much. Generally I do try to make my mixes fairly quiet and then pull the master up about 6-8 db. Oddly, I've started looking for the same thing in waveforms that you noticed.

Also, great guess but no! Now that I think about it, kinda does sound like one of Vedder's lyrics doesn't it?

yes indeed..a nice way to start the day...thx wayne
