Gibs> Glad you liked it ! The "hair beats feathers" line is sort of an inside joke . . . we have a canary too . . . and a flying squirrel ! Doing the vocals for this tune was fun as heck. The dog sounds are actually the stars themselves . . recorded with
an AT4033 I might add . . . I got the Yorkie to bark on cue with his rope toy, but I had to temp the Maltese with a snack ... he howls beautifully, however, when you blow any note on a harmonica. The Yorkie can't howl at all . . . instead, he squeals like a pig.
drstawl>Dogs are smart as hell It's funny, but they know when my wife is leaving the house by the shoes she wears. Don't know much about cats, although we just adopted a stray . . . she spends part of the day in the woods by our home, but comes around for all meals. Unfortunately, we feel she was abused by previous owners . . . she's very cautious in approaching us. We are trying to get the dogs acquainted with her by Winter, when, we will have to take her inside.
You must expand on the "laser exercise plan" . . . not sure if I get it, but, seeing how you have cats, I would have to guess that they like to chase the little red dot around . . . am I correct ?
pglewis>I only do covers for two reasons . . . 1 ) for fun & 2 ) to test equipment and learn how to mix. This particular song brings back a lot of memories. The original lyrics for " Alone Again, Naturally " were written by a woman from my home town in Louisiana. I lived a few blocks away from the tower she planned to jump off of when she contemplated suicide. She sold all the rights to the song to O'Sullivan. It was the talk of the town when it began to get radio airtime.
Kaputo>Thanks for the review ! What's next ? . . . hmmm Actually, I've got three sets of lyrics that are screaming for music. They are all love songs written for my wife, but I have had a tough time writing music to do the lyrics justice. It's funny, the lyrics come quite easily . . . I consider myself lucky to have a wife I'm totally nuts over. Anyway, that's the plan.
Regards,
PAPicker
