Just wanted to put something quick together before I get to work.
I've been listening to a lot of Jimmy Smith lately so this is what came out.

	Very.. nice and smooth. This is about nine minutes too short, and would definitely be something worth diving right into as a larger venture. The production is very nice and clean too. Check out my latest song called Safety in Patterns

	Wow! I love this piece. Very nicely put together with wonderful 70's organ and great electric guitar. The guitar at times reminds me a little of Santana playing blues! Check out my latest song called Simple Feelings

	before work so I understand correctly, you ripped this off before work one day? you're startin to freak me out :-) its insanely groovy. Love the syncopation, the lo fi drums and bass. The guitar sizzles. Hope its the start of something longer. Much longer. kravitz-esque (thats 12 on my kool barometer) Check out my latest song called Texas stump

michael2	michael2 said 415 days ago (October 6th, 2008)
	excellent very 60's feeling. really great choice on the drums, wish it had gone on for a lot longer. kind of reminded me of the band of gypsies. if you go back to it, find someone with a really soulful voice who can belt this out and make it loooong. awesome track. Check out my latest song called Behind Enemy Lines (w/Bud and Particle Dots)

	wow Again you show off how eclectic your tastes are. Very well done. The sirens came in right after I was thinking how much I felt like watching a 70's cop drama. Could be the opening sequence music for sure! Check out my latest song called Anarchy, Inc.

cool
this sounds cool and amazing. by coincidence I was listening to booker t and the mgs today and this fits right in. A short drum break and/or bridge dropped into the middle could finish it off perfectly without necessarily extending the time too much, methinks.

The siren sound would also put it in the category of "songs that freak me out when I listen to them in the car". along with stones "country honk" with the &^*&%'ing loud car horn sound. LOL

Check out my latest song called Novis Libris

	Cool piece I'm not usually a fan of heavily distorted drums, but they work OK in this piece. Nice playing and a great title. Maybe the title and my imagining the fire and brimstone from the streetcorner preacher that makes the drums work for me. Check out my latest song called It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

	funky! Nice whammy lil jammy here R. Just dashed this off before work? Stellar! Philip Check out my latest song called Frank's Song
