Boston Beckoning - revised 4-3-15
Edited to add: a little more tweaking 4-3. New mix is in post #38
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wrote this song soon after the marathon bombing in 2013, but I based it on uncompleted song I started in the 80s. I've been playing it solo-acoustic for some time, and get a good reaction from it, but I've been struggling with this full production version. I had been searching for a sax player to retrack the tag line part, but they all want money (or suck) so I ened up leaving the keyboard-sax as is and adding a guitar track doing the same part.
Today I retracked the lead vocal (again) and some of the BU vocals.
Bongoboy (John) did the drums based on the early version.
My ears are shot - tinnitus bad for the last week due to a cold, and then I went to see a fairly loud band last night in a small bar.
Some good ears on this would be appreciated.
