Hi David,
Thanks for a kind review of Knock 'Em Dead. It's a bit of a casual track really, one that needs a bit of attention but I've never really got around to it!
Thanks for the guitar comment, especially as I've had a listen to some of your excellent playing. I keep going back to trying finger style but the older I get, the tougher it is on my fingers, but I do enjoy giving it a go from time to time.
This is a Strat, occasionally I play an Ibanez Talman acoustic.

Thanks again and good luck with your projects.

Bob

Hi Bob,
Thank you for your response and kind comments about my playing. Fingerstyle is a lot of fun but it definitely takes a fair amount of maintenance. I love playing electric as well but I feel I have a better "feel" for the acoustic style.
Best of luck with your projects as well.

David

Hey David, thanks for the review of my song Vampire Girl. You are spot on, this is an alt master for cell phone with low and high pass plus narrowed stereo field which makes it sound pretty muffled in headphones. Probably should have uploaded the other here. Thanks for listening!

David Thank you for the kind review of an old song from an old now no longer existing band of mine called COSTIN. A band that had a ton of musical chemistry and potential. Unfortunately, musical chemistry and potential isn't the only ingredient that is needed to keep a band functioning in a healthy way. Lol!!! Fortunately, one thing that did remain are the songs.
Thanks again David I am going to listen to your tracks right now!!!

Thanks for your response Ante. I have been away from the "social" side of the music for a while and am working my way back into it. It is hard keeping a band together, especially if it is struggling or there are different expectations or goals. Working with other creative people is hard but it can also be an amazing experience. I have been in various bands through the years as well as doing the solo thing and it is definitely easier as a solo artist in a way. You either do it or you don't, no one else to blame or have to try and motivate. I hope you are still making music, let me know if you have any more current repertoire I can check out.
