Description:
Modified Mix of my theme for the 2004 Boston Red Sox. Overcoming your history is a mighty big mountain. Now they've won it again I decided to revisit it.

This lyrically combines bits of the traditional Wild Mountain Thyme with Led Zeppelin's Misty Mountain Hop. Musically it's a bit of a thrashfest. The guitar I'm playing on 2 tracks is my son Gray's threetar, a modified Squire strat with only 3 strings. I play bass guitar and use some Drums on Demand loops and recently re-wrote the lyrics so the vocals are new.

Talkin' of Boston... &mdash 11/26/07 - 11:17:17 AM
...this reminds me of Morphine. Something about the low-down-swampy blues (and guitars with missing strings). I loved that band. Also have a soft spot for the Red Sox, although I prefer the Oakland Athletics - dommed forever to follow an also-ran team!

I like -
Phil

Ando Okajima participated in the team this year.
They were very lucky.
Congratulations.

I wouldn't call it luck &mdash 11/27/07 - 11:57:13 AM
I think it was hard work. Like...goin' up a mountain. But I am happy for the Japanese players, they are very good. Like you, Tadashi!

cool feel &mdash 11/27/07 - 05:44:39 PM
to this one, i love all of the ambiance floating around with the grinding aspects. you are totally rocking those 3 strings, the top 3 are over rated anyways. great tune.

I concur &mdash 11/28/07 - 10:16:40 AM
the top 3 strings are a bit overrated. I always liked this song when I first recorded it 3 years ago, and remixing it in GB4 was fun because with new ears I could simplify things and add some other things and it was partially due to your post about synth manipulation that I added a track where I did that using the track automation. Thanks for the comment!

Why didn't I think of this!! &mdash 12/15/07 - 07:12:53 AM
A tribute to the 2k4 Redsox- beyond my iChat name, that is. Very funky song, Jim and quite a rocker- I really dig the main riff.

2008 is shaping up pretty well- I'd like to see them hang onto their young players. Santana would be great in the Sox uniform but I'd really prefer we give Bucholz or Lester the oppportunity to have a breakout season (in Boston)!
