Border of Love

[awjoe]

The last tune I put out was May 2023. Not exactly a productive release schedule, I guess, but it is what it is. It takes me forever to figure stuff out.

That's great! Really well produced! I thought it had been a while since the last one

I can imagine listening to that at a southern border 'old town' bar at sunset over a pitcher of Margeuritas with Cicadas in the background. It put me right back at Old Town, San Diego - but without the Mariachi band

[awjoe]

The only thing that keeps me from mariachi is lack of a band.

Sweet, very nice. IMHO, as well this could go on stage as is!

Re: lack of a Mariachi band, may want to see if you have not inadvertently set the Mariachi filter gain too high in one of your hidden tracks?

[Folderol]

This is really REALLY good
I'd go so far as to say the best I've heard from you.

Entirely possible. My Spanish is just good enough to get me into trouble, but not good enough to solve problems.

I changed my approach on this one, so your response is very encouraging, very gratifying. Thanks, Folderol.

[Drew Stephenson]

Just catching up on my forum listening, fine work again sir.

[Jay Menon]

That's really nice

Mariachi....can't get enough of it, here's 2 mariachis in the making, these two would bring a smile to the face of a condemmed man

The interwebs is amazing, isn't it? Two kids who haven't reached middle school who both play better than me.

[Watchmaker]

Great tune, great production, astounding dance moves but best of all is the killer vox harmony arrangment. whew! Nice work.

*edit* and the wee Mariachi's! - this is what keeps me optimistic. Music is the original commons, the natural birth right and privilege of us all.

Death* to royalties and glory seekers!

*not actual death* for that comes most untimely to each of us anyway...

I'd go one step further and say it's the best I've heard from anyone in a good while.

[awjoe]

Thanks very much. I'll pass on what you said to Tjarko - he's what makes a good song better.

[Dynamic Mike]

I think sometimes a song is more than the sum of it's parts. I don't think it can be contrived, planned or maybe not even explained, it just happens. For me at least this is just one of those songs you connect with even if you can't explain why.

My only critique is that it ends too soon!

Watching you singing this Joe made my eyes moist, I don't know why.

[awjoe]

I can think of at least two reasons for that, and if we were in the same room, there'd be a third I could add to the list.
