Okay, published with Georgi's new piano, I should say, sweet, sweet piano and Yoshi's incredible backing vocals. Working on the drums - trying to reduce the hiss on the track in post production. We are getting there - this has really shaped up beyond my wildest dreams and thanks to you all my wonderfully talented friends.

Hi, Bill. I recorded a new piano. I think it's getting closer.

I’m out of the country and only have my iPad, so I have very limited interface with BH. I can’t set levels or publish until I get back. From what I could hear, it sounds very much closer to Thanks and I am looking forward to getting back to our wonderful collab when I return home.

Hi Bill. I didn't want you to think I forgot about you. Here's a track, such as it is. My set-up is not really geared to a delicate song like this, and you've all done a super job here. I had to boost my track three times and that brings up the BG noise, too. So I completely understand if you trash it. Not much more I can do. Cheers...

Bob, first, your track sounds great. I am out of the country for the week and have very limited BH abilities - I’m not able to work DAW, so I’ll have to do it and publish when I get back. Thank you for your time and efforts - it really sounds like a winner to me

@BillBassDude : Thanks. Maybe before you get back I can give it another shot with a different snare.

@Bob : Okay, I'm back - I can hear what you're talking about as far as the BG hissing noise. The drum track itself is fabulous, really well done and would be perfect if it weren't for the hiss. I'm going to explore if there is something we can try in post production to reduce, the hiss - are you okay with that? I'm no studio genius, but I'm always surprised by the number of tools out there available to work the tracks we record.

If there's no one who's taken over the piano, I can try. It's not going to be 1: 1, I could improvise in that style. You're doing very well so far.

I left a dry piano track for your review @BillBassDude, if you like it is yours, I can modify, the kids embarrassed me as you can see in the video.. :)

@Georgi : I was recording a bass track, and our cat jumped up on the railing and was cruising by - I would have kept it, but it got me laughing so hard it messed up my playing. I love the kids and the dog - so fun!!! Love your playing my friend, the video was just icing on the cake.
