Thanks for the kind words! Never even dreamed of it, although I could play at the restaurant where they're eating maybe?

Mahalo, Aleah!  Thank you!

PPS this song sounds freakin HILARIOUS, like Stevie Wonder, when you put it through a long attack envelope filter, like an Emma Discumbobulator or Ableton Live's Auto-Filter

[jazzpsalti]

sure! won't be for a while but I'll definitely do a mix when I get situated recording wise!

[zzwerzy]

You deserve the best, psalti.

Well, in my case, I think that was an, 'Oh, I effed *that* up!', eye-rolling smile. Prolly. Uh huh.

Michael's smile? He was a natural showman. A bit of his energetic performance and positive output was professionalism I think, but the majority was surely genuine joy in his own ability to manifest such beauty and share it with the world.

No wonder players are smiling. Anyone who can approach what he did, even a little bit, should rejoice!

right well the chorus is tasteful. The autofilter sounds dope too but it kinda turns it into an abomination of our dear mentor Mike...

I love TC. Someday I'll have enough money to own an all TC rack, but until then, I'm okay with yamaha, lexicon, aphex, and behringer!
