Description

This instrumental romp takes "Why You...," (my first MJ post) in a very different direction: a bit more swing, lots less overdriven rockabilly sensibility, but much more fun with slide and harmony leads. And maybe some deep-space satellite transmissions: strange electro-noise that surfaced as my slide went over the Fender Lace sensor pickups. Aren't they supposed to be ultra low in magnetic interference? Any engineers or rocket scientists, feel free to explain that...

(P.S.: This is a bit of a remastering upgrade from the iC version for those of you who recall my upload there.)

Hardware:

The band uses same setup as "Why You..." track, which also includes my 2003 Hofner Jazzica and '87 Strat Plus. For this instrumental I added three more Strat tracks with the old Griffin iMic. As always, the Boss GT-6 was my processor.

The underlying tracks were recorded in my old basement "studio" using two 8-track ADATs using makeshift sound isolation tricks (moving tarps, plywood boxes, etc.).

Software:

GB 1 on 24 November, 2005; tweaked in GB '08 for MJ. Underlying tracks here were roughed-mixed in Nuendo.

	I LOVE IT! Thanks for posting this one Bob. This tune is one my favorite tunes, period. It's like Brian Setzer meets Duane Allman. This tune is so loose and carefree, but tightly composed. Yeah man, its just a really cool number. 10s/all-time fav! PS. I knew it would be a hit at MJ. I'm going to pass this one along to interested listeners. Check out my latest song called Seaside Samba

	Thanks Scorp, Pete, PErceptual, Scott... Sincere thanks for your encouragement. I can't take credit, though: it came to me the night I forgot to wear my tinfoil hat!

Massive fun tune.
Sorry if I drew you out on center stage, on this one, Bob. he he.

I knew once MJers heard it they would love it. This number spills over with fun and the joy of playing. It's so inviting. How anybody not like it?

Like I said, this song stands on its own merits, but your replying to these forum comments puts a 'face' on the 'voice' of a kickin' tune...

Your atrist's page is way cool, BTW.
