Den - you put the biggest smile on my face this morning when I read your comment. WOW! It blew me away. So husky eh.
I assume you mean the bits that aren't all girlie and even higher than Ness is singing. I definitely have to give Ness most of, if not all, the credit for the balance and space in this piece. Without her direction and advice it would have had muddy elements for sure. I learned a lot about where various tracks should sit in the mix from Ness. She's got a fantastic ear and a wonderful sense of overall composition. Thanks sweet friend. Pierre - you made me giggle with your comment and beam too. I see what you mean about the bass player and the drummer, but what do you expect? Policing the beat is serious business and not for sissies. Funny you should say that Jason plays girlie songs. He made a similar comment at his concert that most of the men were probably there to please the women in their lives. But, ...isn't that a great reason to learn them too? Frankly I think the songs are just really cool, fantastic musically and hit home in lots of ways... But then.... I'm a little under qualified to tell right?
I'm glad our version managed to remove your bias, or at least temper it. Thanks guys.

It indeed took a while, haha! :laugh: So after everything was added (harmonies, bass, flute), I suggested for her to throw in some sort of rhythm. By that time, after all her hard work and dealing with tech stuff, she was kinda okay by leaving it out, which was very understandable and fine too of course;). Then it prompted in my head, oh let's add the drum myself. (I mean, I do have a drumkit and I do even teach it as well)
