    Hey Mark, good to see ya!

    Solid mix, the guitar lead rocks! Guitars have a thick tone. Nothing wrong with a blues progression. Vox sound good, well mixed as well!

    Take care!

    Hey Mark!

    I really liked the 3 part harmony guitar parts in the lead. I always liked bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd and Thin Lizzy that used harmony leads. Well done Mark, enjoy your holidays!

    Greetings,

    Now this has been a long time since i heard a good 80s vibed sound based track in here. I loved it. It reminds me of the good old days when i was young and stupid hehe. Aah those were the good old days back than. So yeah all i can say is a job very well done. Everything was well balanced from elements to the vocals as well as the mixing part of this track. So yeah no mistakes has been made on this song. Which i always like to see and hear. Also this track deserves a spot in my favs list. Simply because it made me feel nostalgic. And for good old times sake. So yeah have a good one, and keep on creating and listening, Verdi

    Devo was great, totally innovative musically and visually. Great job on the cover and the mix, even all the way around as far as volume levels. Fun percussion at the end, agogo maybe?

    Hope all is well Mark!

    Thanks buddy. I did a couple of small changes on the song but most people probably wouldn't notice them. Other than that, I tried to get it as close as possible to the original. Definitely one of my fave new wave bands of the era and they were always fun.

    hahhh...fantastic piece...not really sad but hopeful for me...dogs and pets are our best friend...

    Yes pets sure do have a way of working their way into your heart. They are always there for us. Lucy used to curl up at my feet when I was in my studio and when i was performing this song, out of habit I would look for her and then remember she was gone.
    I am not ashamed to admit that I shed many tears in the studio doing this song and I think my raw emotion showed through in the recording.
    Some people run for a bottle when they are sad....I run for my guitar lol...always have.

    Sorry to hear about your dog. My friend Jim and his wife just lost one of their dogs recently. It's great to see how much pets mean to their owners.

    A tribute song to your dog, straight from the heart!

    Time for a......puppy!

    Good to see you old fried and TYVM.
    Yes pets become surrogate children to their owners.
    As far as getting a puppy, we have worked with an animal rescue in the area for 7 years and a mixed 3 yr old dog we have fostered (her name is Panda because of her black and white markings) will be staying with us permanently. She has been a handful and is a little like TNT mixed with enriched uranium lol...she's nuts and strong but only about 18" tall. But she has a heart of gold and loves me/obsessed with me. She's home now.
