Another new jammer doing jazzy stuff. First one of your tunes I've heard. Your guitar and bass playing are first class. Thanks for sharing and Welcome to macjams.

I'm not sure where you got the title... &mdash 01/06/07 - 09:46:42 AM
but the guitar playing is good, and the the piano is nicely tucked in, too. I like your space at the ends of phrases - at first i wasn't so sure, but it works. Likewise, I like the synth break and the vocal bit near the end. Welcome to MacJams.

This rocks my socks. Nice movements from section to section, and bold arrangement of synth, piano, guitar, bass, and drums. I like.
Reminds me of T.S.O.L.'s Beneath the Shadows in a funk-jazz style.
Encore,

True story &mdash 01/20/07 - 06:40:44 AM
Well, my employer (previous job) loved his very clinical garden, which contained only grass (he is a fanatic golfer, I hate golfers and golfcourts). Every time a mole's been plowing his garden, he'd curse. At first he'd destroy them with poison, then he'd try a medieval device to kill them. Finally he read about this trick to stick plastic bottles on a wooden pole and put that in the ground so the wind would move them, making an awful noise. We as employees off course supported the mole (kept coming back). I don't know the end of the story because I got fired. So I wrote this fantasy play on: "what would be his next strategy?" from the moles' point (of "view"). It's a true story! And the word "vision" has 2 meanings here, which is funny! I wrote the song after I got fired, so my feelings towards my employer were fresh.
