        THIS IS A TRACK I DID ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. I RECORDED IT AND MOVED ON TO SOMETHING ELSE, BUT I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO GETTING A GOOD MIX AND EQ.

        I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF MY YOUNGER DAYS JAMMING AND PLAYING LIVE. GOOD TIMES. I ALSO LIKE IT BECAUSE WHEN I RECORDED IT I HAD THE HOUSE TO MYSELF AND I HAD MY AMP WAY TOO LOUD. I THINK IT WAS THE LAST TIME I PLAYED THROUGH A CRANKED AMP. AMP MODELERS SUCK ASS.

                  One of my favorite genres of music, for sure. Sound great!

                      Thanks Dave, one of my favorite genres too. Played a lot of ABB, Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, etc. Good stuff.

                      Sounds great Ralph! I love amps also. I’m going to crank up my Deluxe now.

                          Crank it up Mike. I’d love to have a Deluxe or a Princeton. All the times I played guitar in bands I used my trusty Twin. Hated to lift it, but at least it had wheels on it. Used it for over 25 years and never even had to change tubes. Very dependable.

                              Gee Ralph, I can’t even play classical without annoying the hell out of my wife. The only solution is to lock myself in the second room. No living room playing for me 😅.

                              This does sound really good and I, personally, refuse to use software amp modelers. Brilliant playing as always Ralph 👏 👌

                                  I know how you feel Geoff. I remember my Ex asking me to turn down my acoustic. I couldn’t find the volume control. LOL

                                                      Great sound Ralph. Amazing composition. You sure can write. You also capture the sound of yesteryear. I am not going to say you sound like anybody else (cuz I think that’s kind of an insult) but man, it’s 1974 again cruising around in my Red Galaxie 500 listening to BTO, Skynyrd, 38 Special and the Outlaws. Your composition is uplifting. Well done. You pass the audition. Thanks for sharing.

                                                        Thank You Neighbor. I’m glad you liked the Retro-Vibe. I had a blue Galaxie 500 with red primer spots. It had a quad 8-track. That car was my living room on wheels. I was listening to the same stuff you were listening to. Great times, and doesn’t seem that long ago.
