    All...think we have it all together with this one. Made some minor synch changes, gave Shawn a little boost in volume, and refined the rest of the mix to what was pleasing to my ear. Please take a listen and let me know of any changes that jump out at you before we make this one complete. Thanks Shawn, Bill, Michael, Rob and James. Rick

    Hey Rick, thanks for mixing this. A suggestion. The organ seems a bit too loud in the B part. Covers up your guitar a bit.

    @CyberBass: Rob...thanks for taking the time to refine your bass track...although I thought the first one sounded great. This one does too. Actually , you hear that last note much more than anyone else. Im fine and gladly published, but will leave a redo up to you . Thanks again,Rick

    Hey Rick, in listening to the BT, there aren't any backing vocals that I can hear. But I can discern where it might be neat to have some "ahhhhh" type BVs in certain parts. I can work on something like that if you'd like. Or if my tinnitus is preventing me from hearing some backing vocals that actually are in the BT, then let me know where and I'll take another listen :)

    Shawn...thats what I get by listening to the Dylan/Harrison live version to many times ! You're right no BV on the "Harrison" version I used for the BT. So I am very pleased with what we have...no BV needed, unless you experiment and decide you may want to add them. I'm always good with making the collabs our own ! Over the next week, I will refine the mix and make sure the "band" is good with the final mix and we can complete. Thanks, Rick

    Shawn, I really like your vocal here. More interesting than George's, and simply better than Dylan's.

    Rick, here's an LV for your consideration. Lemme know what you think. My voice was fairly clear today. Only had one big sneezing fit, where I had to quit and come back hahahaha.

    Shawn...those lead vocals are fantastic. BandHug was acting up and would not pull up you mix in the DAW, so I tweeked things a little. Trying to highlight your amazing voice and balance the rest of the talent! Let me know what you think and thanks again. Look forward to those backing vocals ! Rick
