Only just spotted this thread so I'm catching up... and can't get to MySpace while I'm away "working", but...

...you say "Bass (again on this track & possibly Wagon Wheel) would be nice, but as we don't have a bass player would be really difficult to reproduce live. Will need to think about this."

Which brings up the question of what the CD is for. It's perfectly legitimate to make a CD that you can't play live. So long as you're not punting it to promoters as "This is what we sound like live". Of course, some folks want a souvenir of a gig and they often prefer "live". But, to me, a CD and a live gig are two different things. I often hugely enjoy a live act, only for the CD to disappoint.

My penny-ha'pence-worth. Balance on account.
