You had me going. Then unfortunately you fell prey
to a classic MacJams pitfall. You went and used those
horn loops. You didn't use them wrong. You just
didn't account for the stigma attached to a set of
loops on about 10 other songs that are not as good
as yours. They stand out almost as signifigantlt as
the 'eastern strings loops' that are also rarely able to
transcend the automatic association that happens.

In the real world your song will entertain most
people. In the world of MacJams, there is thousands
of people and dozens of songs that either have used
or are intimately familar with these loops...

Using them is like trying to get noticed for your
pointed ears at a Star Trek convention, if you get my
point.

Besides all that negative crap, you put together
decent arrangement with alot of spunk and spirit.
With a little more practice and time here, you'll most
likely find yourself trying to 'hide and blend' loops as
opposed to 'soloing or featuring' them.

It's a good time, and screw Limbaugh the hippocrate
drug popping pig.

LOL Thanks for the feedback. This was my first GarageBand tune, created
over a year ago. Those loops are poison, man, and once you've used them,
you can't use them on another damned thing! I'll throw some more old stuff
up here in the next couple of days, but school's got me hoppin'.

MUST include the assasination of you-know-who
*to be continued*

kinda neat how the parts of the song plays out the
scenario-the sneaky approach, the snatch-&-grab, & the
easy getaway.. with a ride into the sunset on an ultra high
powered yacht as the finale (& a champagne toast)
