Wow Kenny, it's been a while but it looks like you are doing some really great stuff......this is fantastic work. Great band, great vocals, everything about this one says "HIT RECORD" all over it.
Man, there is nothing to criticize here. Just a great track to enjoy my friend. I hope all has been well with you.
Ah, I've been away for a while, and saw you had a new one up. Love the instrumentation....almost as much as I love your vocals. The instrumentation is really playful and skillfully combines (loved those guitar screaches). Really nice mix. There are a couple of places where I would love to have your voice a bit more forward in the mix, but those are minor things.
Very glad to see you back, Bear ! :D
I'm really happy and honoured you liked this and said the mix is nice, cause I know I'm bad at mixing most of the time ( usually do it by instinct ) .
I spent a long time on this song, not really knowing where I was going, just feeling things . And though it's particular and still sounds awkward, my heart is glad with the result .
Yeah, thx Bear, all is well here, despite the gloomy atmosphere of this, haha . Dunno why music and words often draw the darkest side of me .
What about you, my dear friend ? Hope you and yours are in great shape !
Wow, impressive work all the way around. Drums are outstanding and the lead work is really, really good. Not sure if you guys are in a band, but if not, you just might need to all get together and start one. Some major talent right here. Impressive work. Hope all is well.
Scott, what a beautiful tribute to your sister. I'm sure she is smiling as she listens to it (I know I am). You have mad skills my friend, and this track shows them off nicely.
Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Sensational in every way possible.
Thanks so much, Bear. I appreciate your kind words and compliment to me. It's high praise coming from you. I have been following your talents for quite some time. I also have tons of your loops from here.
Sometimes the best songs end up being the most obvious....not sure why none of us thought to put the different versions together.
But I am sure glad you do. Excellent work. It is always an honor to play alongside such greats as Patricia and Marty. Thanks for putting this one together. Beautiful work. I hope all is well.
Thanks Bear, I'm Glad You Liked It, As I Said To Dan All The Versions Stand Alone. I Don't Have A Real Audio Mixing Program, So I Used My Video Editing Software...Sony Vegas Pro12 To Mix This. I Think Some Publisher Should Pick This One Up, You All Did So Great!!! Keep Up The Excellent Music
Carole, it has been a while since I've been in your neighborhood (a really busy summer for us). But I am glad to discover you have been busy creating. A beautiful song that goes so well with my requisite morning coffee. An absolute pleasure to listen to.
Tempo changes are always difficult. Again, I really like your guitar work. You could throw some reverb on the track in the mastering stage and turn it into a "Rush like" arena recording. Don't give up on it, because it has serious potential. Another good effort.
Bear, I took a quick listen to your catalog, and I'll be back for more soon. I'm definitely a fan. Work is crushing me right now. Just wanted to say hello for now and will talk more later. :-)
You really do have a flair for the dramatic....pretty amazing how you have ability to combine all of the different sounds, key changes, etc. and tell such amazing musical stories. This is really nice work, with great textures throughout. Well done Charlene!!!
Chris, I've been away most of the summer, but it is always a great feeling to come back and discover jewels like this one. Pete is such a huge talent, and when you put him in the mix with your amazing musical abilities, you have a recipe for success.
This is terrific work from start to finish. Like the others said, you could bring the music up a bit, but that is just nit picking at this point.
Well done gents. Great way for me to top off my evening. Hope all is well.
Hey Bear, it's good to see you're back here on the loop !!!
Thank you for the kind words. To be honest, I was a bit discouraged by this track before I sent it to Pete, and I'm still amazed by his capacity to "know what to do" immediately...
I'm glad you liked the song, and I hope there will be some other ones for you guys...
I haven't been around much this summer.....this is actually the first song I've listened to since my return. I realy enjoyed your work. The in places are a bit back in the mix, but for the most part you did a really stellar job with both the composition, and the production.

Hi there!
At first, thanks for taking your time to comment. It's significative to me.
Well, about the song, I've tried to fix my voice (for second time). Listen again if you want.
About the acapellas, I sent a message to Shan, but I can't upload acaps yet. I wonder how much time it takes.
Maybe I didn't write it clearly. Honestly, I had no idea what to write.
Anyway, I hope I can upload acaps soon.
Thanks again for listening and comment! :D
Not sure if you were aiming for the dissonance created between the backing track and the vocals.....if it was intentional, then I would call this a great avant garde tune. If not, then perhaps it would be beneficial to allow someone else to add vocals and see what they sound like. Either way, it was an interesting ride.
Very nice cinematic track....it would definitely fit in a film or video game. Definitely has an epic feel to it. Well done. After you get a proper mix on it, it should be fantastic. Great effort.
Aye, yi yi, you are so damn good!!! Man this is such a trip and just amazing in so many different ways. I had to download it (thanks for that) so I could listen on my computer without having the sound drop off (not thrilled with the new player on the Loop).
Sam, you are a musician's musician. Keep doing what you are doing. Your technique, tone, talent are all the result of your hard work, dedication and study. You are a shining example for all of us who aspire to be better musicians.
Man, Baggadub, I'm a fan!! This is outstanding work. This sound professional in every way possible. Mix is spot on, and you treated Patricia's vocals with the respect they deserved. Great guitar work, organ is nice, and I love the bass line.
Sean, really, really nice work. Great blend of percussion, bass, and the acoustic guitar.....you left room for everything to breathe. Then you added in the sounds of nature and really took this one to a whole new level. Beautiful job. I enjoyed this one outside on the patio with my coffee this morning.
A great way to start my day. Hope all is well bro.
My brother Benham, there are times when the student teaches the professor a few things about this thing we call music.....
and this is one of those times.
There are no words to adequately describe what you have done here. I think Janis said it best, "I can almost feel your soul in my hands as I'm listening to this exceptional beauty."
This is truly a masterpiece in every way possible. I thank you for sharing this with all of us. I hope all is well with you.
My lovely Brother , Bear , before evertything wish U'll excuse me for latency about reply about this one .
and ,well...So at last U accepted me as an unseen student...hei man would be honored to me . Bear thanx alot for your generous words but untold is obvious for Us (both) that there's nothing instructive for professor Bear about this new trial of mine too . but maybe there was some kind of pain which has tried to explaining of himself for who doesn't live in a vacuumed part of the earth,about existance of real & untented sensation which some one feels because of living in a VacUUmeD. by the way adept I sent it to U when I saw your comment, but again my mail has came back to myself & U haven't recceived it ! & I wonder & don't know why ?! anyway adept U know about Importance of your possitve or negative Idea for me & accept my Best wishes as always & my greatest appreciation as an unseen student because of your taken time to listen to this trial of mine.Sincerely.___Behnam.
Wow again.....absolutely love the quality of your voice. For your first jazz tune, you really knocked it out of the park. Exceptional work. You are more than welcome to anything I have on my page (not sure I have anything worthy).
Fantastic work. I look forward to many, many more from you. Great backing track as well.
My brother Behnam, I would not change a thing on this one. It is absolutely perfect. I have visions of the Grand Bazaar in Tehran when I listen to this.
You have such a unique and wonderful style with all of your music. Just when I think I have you figured out, you go another direction and show me another facet of your musical talents.
Really well done Behnam. A song for the ages. I hope all is well.
Hi Master,really glad to see you here to commenting on this trial of mine .and dear brother Bear How do you know Grand and old & dirty Bazar in tehran man?! I wondered ! anyway adept it's a good feeling when U see your favorit artist has a positive idea about your trax which you gave me this nice feeling by your worthwhile possitive comment on this trial & thanx alot for every thing Bear .my best wishes as always.respectfully.___Behnam
Malu, it is amazing how your unfinished works often sound better than the "finished tracks" offered up by most of us. It really is a shame that you guys could not revisit this one and really polish it up. It has huge potential. Perhaps someday both of you will get a break and be able to finish it. Even so, a most enjoyable listen.
It's good to see you posting some tracks again. I hope all is well.
Richie it is great to see you back and even better, you bring an amazing song with you.
It's hard to describe just how good this one is. So I think the best thing I can do is sit back, grab another cup of coffee, and hit replay.
You and Patricia really should hit the road together. This is absolute perfection. Kudos to both of you. Another great song by two of the Loop's finest!!
I hope all is well. Thanks for the download as well :)
It's good to be here and thanks for the welcome back. It's always a great pleasure working with Patricia and this collaboration developed slightly differently than previous ones. Very much a voyage of discovery! Thanks for the comments and if we do ever get on the road together I'll let you know (bit difficult but who knows?).
Sam, it is great to have you back on the Loop....wonderful guitar work as usual.
Man, you really have such great skill sets...timing, tone, expression....it is amazing what happens when someone works their A$$ off practicing and honing their craft.
Thanks for your service as well man, it is good to have you back safe and sound. Hope all is well.
Thanks so much! You are one of the key members of Looperman, and as always, I love to hear from you. I hope you are doing well, and thank you for your contributions to this site.

Thanx for stopping by, it's been a while indeed, I hope you and your family are all well.
I got a great vibe from the music when I first heard it, much like your Sandy Hook track when I first heard that.
