    OK Mr Strumbo...was a challenge but the 40th take sounded pretty good, then decided I needed a second track and to get kinda a chorus effect by delaying the synch a little so did take 41 ! . Also panned one L and the other R. Hope this works as its about as good as I can get it. Use only if you think its OK, no offense if not as I do like the challenge...Mix saved with volume and pan settings for the two guitars. Thanks, Rick

    @Strumbo: 41 takes, started to get hooked on the tune and incorporate it into the set my wife and I play for Memory Care residence, so learning it was my goal. Feel free to change anything in the mix. Glad it worked, Rick

    I think it's great, Rick. Great pro production decision with the synch delay. Only 41 takes? I must have tried twice that and was still messing up. Thanks for taking it off my hands.

    Also, I did boost that lower track once. Id download it so you have a copy just in case a second boost moves the gain to the point of distortion. I do still have the track on my mac also.

    Added organ throughout. It was difficult to hear where the trumpets and oboe came in, but I think I got them close. Let me know what you think.

    Super, Jim. And the Bangles dance steps raise production values. Cheers.

    Hahah - not exactly known for my moves - as you can see. I've redone the bass to fit better :-)
