ZigZag revisited

Toki

Just listened for the first time and I like it. I don't have any good analogies like the other guys except it seems to me like a good 30 min song if you wanted it to be, you know like the allman bros would do. Just keep goin, you know a jammin' song... thus the teaser sax at the end.. next the harp from your bro maybe.. the guitar from Randy... Good stuff man.

Kenny;

Some cool jammin going on there. Nice musicianship. Mix sounded great on my puter speaks.

CR ><>

Yeah, this one's much nicer, much smoother. I'd love to hear this one with vocals at some point - nothing too lyrical - maybe just some tight three part harmonies singing the same figure a few times.

Really nice.

Now about this so-called 'zigzag' you speak of sir... To what or whom might that reefer?

A definite 80's feel. I don't really like the solo synth sound. The hammond-like thing in the background is more to my liking, I guess. Frankly, I don't get that much from this. Sounds too much like the 80's pop I despise. It brings me horrible memories of those crappy 80's comedies so I can't blame you, it's me and my flashbacks

I appreciate the listens, advice, and nice comments from all you good folks. I didnt have any plans for this but I do now, for later on with beefier instruments. It was just a junk jam on a feelin and not my usual thinkin.
after posting the first time I realized it was a "scare the dogs off the porch" mess and I was "slacking off" and should have been scorched well for it, although some great ears hinted at it . I went back and quickly cleaned it up best I could, added a shaker and an egg (after listening to dobro's thing) to give it a little more continuity. There`s still a tom lick I dragged at 14:5 that made me late at 16:5 on a bass note that really really bothers me, but it washed fairly well, so I just left it. I have no aspirations of anything other than this is just all fun and more learning about recording and mixing for me, here with you folks. Well..., except I thought after reading Cranky`s post I might pitch it for a "Laverne and Shirley" or "Movin' on Up" episode.

Sounds good Kenny. Maybe a bit more percussion? I like that ride at 1:10 ish coming out of the right. Warm..
