Just a quick thank-you to those who responded:
Qwerty: Thanks for the listen - there's that danged Waits reference again.
CyanJaguar: The wildcard king.
Thanks for the words. But I'm disappointed I didn't get the patented "wildcard rating" - especially because I still have no idea what "wildcard" means.
Khompy:
"You're supposed to be strung out on heroin and scrapping coins together in NOLA! heh!..."
Hey, you been going through my scrapbooks from the 90s...?
Thanks for listening, man. I'm afraid I'm not headed back to the "broke on dope" days, but I got plenty of songs from then to last me awhile.
Phil & DrummChris: Thanks guys. Comments appreciated.
I did a little more de-essing, and unless a string section or a horn player appears wanting to work for free, I think I'm gonna put this one in the "done" file.
At least until next month when I find all sorts of things wrong and re-mix it...
Thanks all,
Chris
