Don,
   You are the first person to say they couldn't understand the lyrics to that song...that being said, the song originally was done 'barefoot'(no sound processing). In the mix-down on THAT version, it was run through a TRUE stereo chorus, which split the signal, and with a VERY slight delay, from right to left(or the other way around...almost like politics, grin)...some of the fidelity or clarity was lost, but it never seemed like that much. I'm going to review it, now that you brought it up.
"Bittersuite:Joy" (the long one), also has a version, with percussion(Timpani's mostly toward in the last 'movement') and Orchestra Crash Cymbals, French Horns, and a brass section. What you heard was from an 'open mike', with just me. The fun part of it was, that, as you know, a lot of 'open mikes', guys are up there with acoustic guitars, harmonicas, sometimes a flautist...and stuff like that. When the keyboards were being carried up, and set up, most people ASS-umed they were going to hear, either blues, a Hammond B-3, or something 'honky-honky'....and what they heard, through a Mackie board, with 4200 watts, in stereo, blew their shit away!!..LOVED IT!!! another standing 'O', with tears running down a lot of their cheeks. As a player, who could ask for more?...and subsequent gigs, unless I got those two things, I thought I fucked up!..(only happened once..but it was all I needed, to FOCUS more into the nano-second of every emotion, in every note.
Anyway, Thank you again...and I'm going to be going through it, AGAIN, with a 'fine tooth comb'!

Bobert, Yes, that was me....I've got some jazz and blues, completely different, and some film soundtrack stuff, that I'll be posting soon, once I get my other computer up and running. It will be on a 'private' YouTube video, which means by permission only...and I can only do 50 people....You two, will automatically have that permission along with Little Hawk, and virtually any of my adopted Mudcat Family!
(I mean what the hell, we all bicker like family members....let's offset that, with the good times!!).
"Bittersuite:Joy" was originally written for a film soundtrack and score (which usually gets picked apart, anyway), and when 'Lightstorm' (Avatar, Titanic and others) were going over it, 911 happened...and ALL the film industry stopped EVERYTHING and ALL productions, figuring there was going to be a MAJOR change of direction. They LOVED the script..which BTW, is so absolutely timely for now, it would blow your minds...(even Paramount said it was 'ahead of it's time' but wanted the musical score, and soundtrack...BEFORE even reading the script...made me an offer, too...but I didn't want to separate the two....stupid me!)
All that stuff will be up in a bit..I think you'll like it...and BTW, I'm looking for some vocalists. I have one piece that I have reserved for Little Hawk to have first dibs.

Warmest Regards to You Guys!
(So much more unifying, than 'politics')....
Until we Bicker Again......Smiles,
