at least he knows he is loved and needed right??

Dag, you guys. If you are not careful you'll make an old man a happy man.

The song is ready for listening. I won't make the usual disclaimers and excuses for musical shortcomings, except to say that it would be a lot better if I had a band to play the parts instead 'a just me and Randy the drum machine. It was a bucket of fun to do, though. I'll get to work on part 2 now.

I have no words to describe the feeling this song gives me...

Oh my GOSH!!! Amazing job, man!!! *applauds*

Very interesting seems a grass roots cross metal song, I 'll let you know what I think further after some more listens later. Good stuff as always though BBO

Ah, thanks guys. Your positivity is music to my ears

Again I say, oh my GOSH!!!

Whoa, BBO! That is killer! It even has a solo in it!

If I were Soups, and I'm not, but if I were, wow....I dunno what I could say to thank you.

Thanks t. And Soup has said more than enough to thank me. He deserved a song after what he's gone through to get to where he is now. We all have in our own ways, I think.
The last part of the song is something personal from me to all of you. Give yourself a hand for making it through. Now get off of our butts and do something wonderful.

And I loved the experience of writing for someone else. Motivating!

I think it is a great! It seems to have drawn people here closer as well, and that is just awesome icing on the cake!

Mmmmmm....cake....

Dude!

I just got it on MP3 from Soup and I thought it was brilliant!

Got some questions for ya though:

-- What effects were you using for the guitars?

I noticed you have a good ear for Alex's open barre chorusing. That RULES.

-- Did you ever try to cover Alice In Chains?

You're very close to Layne Staley in that department!

-- Were you trilling the guitar notes toward the end with a tremolo, or
by fret hand? It was really good if you did it manually. Nice sustain Bro!

Anyway, just wanted to tell you and Soups that it's a hit here.

Party on, Owlie!

Party on, Soup!

Thanks, Cyg!

What effects were you using for the guitars?

I used a Zoom 505, a Roland chorus, straight into the board. No amp.

Did you ever try to cover Alice In Chains?

No, but I've been told that before. He was awesome.

Were you trilling the guitar notes toward the end with a tremolo, or
by fret hand?

That was a result of feedback with chorus and sustain. I actually tried to volume it down at first, but after I failed it grew on me

Party on, Cyg!

Do you need me to go to Bed Bath and Beyond and get you a 144 pack of handtowels??

I was just thinking that maybe a dictionary would help...

Actually, I could use the hand towels. It's "clean-up in aisle 4" when I am writin' and recordin.' Better than sex......well....almost.
