Well, thanks for the kind remarks, we moved this spring to another city after 45 years, so, no access to my equipment, setting up a music room is a real challenge for an old buzzer like me (73yo), working on it now. Will try and fix the O/S issues, I sincerely regret for any inconvenience. TTFN.

Sounds good.. If anymore cool oldies like this (and you can't find a drummer), drop me a note. Especially 60s garage 1 hit wonder bands such as Shadows of Knight, The Leaves, Electric Prunes, Blues Magoos etc.

Great to see this garage rocker resurface. Their second LP "Action" had some good fuzz guitar with one minor hit "Girl, You Captivate Me". Their later non LP singles were super cool such as "Shake", "Love Me Baby" and the Tommy James sounding "Make You Mine". Thanks for this Collab..most enjoyable.

Thanks @Revup67: unfortunately I don't know why the vocal track was not published, it's in the DAW you just have to synchronize it .

@manonamission : Thanks for the track, well done. We decided to increase the level a bit, not loud enough to my taste, I love a very good presence of the drummer.

The important thing is that you always keep your commitment, I'm not not fussy about how long it takes, no need to apologize friend. Cheers !

Hi Occitane53, here's a triple guitar arrangement. I know guy on the right don't have his sunglasses (he needs to look at his guitar neck) maybe we should fire him ?

Hum, I don't think we can fire one of the triplets, but his pay is cut in half at least... :-)
