Yoshi - first, thank you!! I love the tone on the piano - it really sets up from the start where we're going with the song. You hit all the fills so beautifully and carried the song so well. And just a great job on the guitar too - you nailed that run-up at the turn-around perfectly - just masterful. Okay, I took down the BT, so it is just you and me for now with a temp drum stem and vocal stem. The vocal stem cuts out in a couple places, but I think it is more important that we are able to hear how we're doing and work the mix. I'm going to work on the horn section later this week. Not a whole lot going on with it, but you can tell it's missing. Again, thanks for another fabulous contribution to a great, great song. I'll message you tomorrow about a couple more songs.

Uploaded a produced fretless bass track, synced, working on the black and white video now. I haven't made up my mind yet on the fretless - open to comments

Bass tone sounds terrific Bill no need for fretless imo.

@Bdajaysus: Thanks!! Actually, that was the fretless I used. I was toying with the idea of using my go to bass, but the more I listen the more I like how the fretless sounds - just don't think I can improve it much with the other bass. I appreciate the feedback.
