Description

A very persuasive Mystified, as well as good prodding by Ally-Oop, has given me the impression that the world really needs to hear me sing...this is a scary world indeed! But this is an original blues tune summing up my life experience in around 5 and a half minutes.

The snazzy new logo was inspired by Alimar, who has called me Zetes since day one. If he likes a post, he calls me Sir Zetes. I like that!

Nobody but me on this, with the new AKG mike and Mbox....the drummer who played the shuffle beat i used here (from JP3) deserves a medal for a very cool shuffle indeed!

	Very Good Great sound. You are a real bluesman. The only thing I don't like is the panning of the guitar solo. Check out my latest song called Crazy Heart (vocals by Richard Schletty)

	See? ...it wasn't THAT hard to sing for a bit now, was it? ;) It's great to hear you singing, z! Hope there is more singing to come. I really like this song....the guitar is awesome, as always. Great blues...and if you ever do get any answers, i'd sure like for you to pass some along, too! I'm a fan--but you knew that ;) Check out my latest song called For the Beauty of the Earth

	Zetes, is that like the guitar god from Crete? Very cool blues vocals from a bluesman. The whole thing has cool all over it, the hand-clapping, finger snapping thing, the guitar solos par excellence, the modulations. Excellent details. What a treat. Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

	Now you're going to sing? When I first heard you play I said the guy can play but can he sing? I think not. Now you go ahead and do this. It's just not fair. Your voice suits your stlye just fine and the guitar playing is stellar as always. Check out my latest song called The Fine Line

thoddi	thoddi said 1583 days ago (July 26th, 2005)
	Robben.. Yeah, you have some jokers up your sleev Ziti. Think you have some licks reminding me of the excellent mr. Robben Ford. And you can safely sing more for us! Good vox. Cool panned conversation during the solo. Check out my latest song called Don't tell me what I can't w/KTB and Ingve

	Excellent set of words in a classic Dixon-Morganfield-Johnson vein. Any chance of posting a version with the finger-snaps, hand-claps or whatever that is cut back a bit? It sounds great on the car stereo but kinda stings the eardrums on headphones with my MP3 player. Great tune. Check out my latest song called The Wolf 7

alley-oop	alley-oop said 1583 days ago (July 26th, 2005)
	Mista, gotta voice Hey man, you sound so relaxed, like you been doin' it forever. You sound great! Perfect blues vocal phrasing. Now you got to make up for lost time. No more intrumentals. Whole new world, baby. Check out my latest song called anymore

	SIR "ZETES" of Bluesville "ZETES" is the "Blues King" around these parts! Great voice, Man. Classic styling in a fresh, new way. Clear and clean production. Superb performances... and a GREAT logo! The panning of the guitar solo adds a nice sense of dimension surrounding me. Some fabulous 3-D space created here. And that little laugh is a nice touch.

very scary world
it is a scary world indeed cuz not only do we need to hear
you sing, we like it.... a lot. you are very quickly
approaching my top 5 list of favorite guitarists of all time
and space. love that note you played and played. Such
awsome feel, phrasing and delivery. one little gripe...
sometimes the handclap/snapping thing sounded not in
the groove once in a while...or it could just be me.
your rock Zetes!

	great voice I love this style of singing voice... not "trying too hard" at all... just natrual. It's fits the contemplative lyrics. Guitar playing is great, of course, as well. I enjoyed the snapping which propelled it along. Check out my latest song called Gossamer dissected

Now STOP that!
Look, ya can't be master of blues guitar, master of
production, AND then come around singing, too....

(My wife, in the background, says, 'Tell him I liked it.') Hey
ziti, Karen likes it.

Your vocal is the essence of cool. You've got great
phrasing.

I agree with the one flaw noted, a problem I have
personally had when doing 'real' tambourine and shakers:
the finger snaps get out of the groove, and when they do,
all of a sudden you stop bobbing your head and notice
them.

That's IT, though. Another breakthrough in ziti-land.

I don't have an opinion on the panning, because where I
sit in my little area, it doesn't stand out a lot, but I do
notice that you are one of the MacJammers who THINKS
about panning, and about auto-panning...It's like a crayon
in the box that some of us (like me) haven't used yet...

Gosh, was it Mose Allison that used to sing kind of like
this? J.J. Cale sometimes does that conversational, husky-
voiced style...

And everything you do has swing. Everything you do
grooves.

What next?, we wonders, yes, we wonders...

THANKS EVERYONE
again for the comments...i've messed with the panning...searched for the out
of time snapping....it's actually a couple slightly misplaced drum loops...and
enjoyed the hell out of hearing from all of you. I cannot believe that I'm
actually putting my real voice out there...and liking it...thanks AKG...mystified
and ally....if mcboy and 11 eyes like ya, I guess I'm blessed. my pals and
collaborators...and supporters here at macjams always saying things that
make a fella feel good...and pushing me to move forward! I'll always be
greatful to this community, for pushing me along at a time when my music
needed a shot in the arm. You all have given me more than you'll ever
know!!!

peace, love and swell things

Cool and happy
Again a blues from you that is SOO cool and that makes
me soo happy.

You make the blues flow on like it was totally effortlessly
natural. I guess it's because you know what you are doing.
I mean know. You dont "perform" this kind of blues, you
own it!

Great voice-debute too! Your self conficent and cool voice
suits your musical style perfectly! I wouldn't mind at all to
hear a lot more of this!

One issue though is eq. The high trebble of the vocal
hisses sharp in my ears; not only on S:es but also on the
top frequences of your vowels, most distinctly on "if I had
any answers", (and also the finger-clicks suffer a little
from this).

Othewise a grand premiere! Congratulations!
