Description:
Thanks for all of the comments. We have removed the heavy \"chorus\" effects and agree that the simplicity works much better. Look forward to further comments...

Lyrics:
You\'re part of the family/no need to take your shoes off/grab a seat beside of me/let\'s eat, drink, laugh and talk/So glad you\'re here/you lighten the atmosphere/raise your glass of beer/here\'s to a better year/I won\'t give up cause there\'s nothing bringing me down/I said, I won\'t give up cause there\'s nothing bringing me down, no-no/cause I plan to keep on trying/I plan to keep on smiling right now/Chorus/I wear this smile so I don\'t have room for a frown/I said, I wear this smile so I don\'t have room for a frown, no-no/And I plan to keep on smiling/I plan to keep on trying/nothing\'s gonna bring me down/So, glad you\'re here/Kick back and have another/glad you were here/you lightened the atmosphere/we\'re all out of beer/here\'s to a better year

Hardware:
ibook G4 and electric guitar

This sounds a thousand times better now. I really like both of your singing now that I can hear it. It's a really nice simple song. Not really sure I'm getting the channel-changing bit's, but to each his own. I really enjoyed it regardless.

thanks for the continued feedback, Peter. The channel-changing effect isn't
perfect, but I thought it was an interesting idea...probably could be executed
better by a more professional mixer.

See you 'round,
-Erich

Great improvement on the mix. Nice simple tune
presented in a solid, sure-handed way. I really like the
"kick back and have another" singing at the coda, the
almost R&B style, it makes me look forward to any new
submissions you guys will share, but the first few "So glad
you're here" repeats need a tweak for tuning, cuz
everything else has such nice tuning and singing quality
throughout.

Wow, you really addressed my biggest concern with the song. The vocals
need to be a little stronger in the two choruses. Glad I wasn't imagining that.

That's funny you also mentioned R&B because Christine is actively working on
an R&B song. I think it's going to be a good fit for her.
