Description

lbstrat posted a version of this on his site and someone made a comment that it needed bass and drums. Those were my contributions. Mark has a version of this on his site but someone else said it needed a cowbell. So I added some cowbell and remixed the bass. Hope you like it and I hope you appreciate the great playing by lbstrat that made this song so easy to add parts to and fun to contribute to.

	thanks On both versions I tried to make the soundstage sound as if it was just a quartet jamming. lbstrat's original track was so great that my task was simply to not mess it up too much. Check out my latest song called It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

	surfs up soooo 60's sounding I feel like surfing or drinking at a surfs bar

	60's sound Stood in line at a political rally with a bunch of college students the other day. They were impressed and awed that I really heard a lot of the 60's bands at their prime. One small perk of being too old. Check out my latest song called It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

	needed the cowbells I like both and did the first one so fast that I really didn't have too much time to think about the mix. Added the bells 'cause I new it would be cool to have them and did a little change to the mix of the bass to let the guitars ahve a nice hole in the middle of the mix. Glad you like both versions.

	Cool Well placed bell ringing. I like all the versions of this song. Thanks Bill PS I was worried at first, because I read the description before listening. Somehow mention of a cow bell brought up visions of Will Farrell ruining Don't Fear the Reaper by BOC. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

	OH my god Will Farrell ruins most of the things he is in. Thank god my cowbell was not that bad! Check out my latest song called It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

Two reasons for that.
the addition of the bass and drums does take the song to somewhere different than the original just because of the added instrumentation, but I also mastered the song with compression and limiting. If applied carefully, this type of compression can add a level aggressiveness and excitement to what was a more laidback track. It is something that can be overdone but I thought it worked here well.
