Hey guys, I haven't posted a new song in AGES - and I'm not going to now. There's a bit of history to this song - it's the first song I ever uploaded to Audacity - just did the riff, wasn't confident enogh back then to sing as well. Then, on the Texas holiday, I wound up in a bar called the Fallout Lounge in Dallas at an open mic, did CCR's "Proud Mary", Beatles, "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away," and was stuck for a third song - until a certain Marilyn, under the influence of Grey Goose Vodka, suggested I do "Blink Of An Eye" ........well who was I to refuse a request? I'd had a few as well - Dutch Courage.....
Anyway - I've totally re-done it from scratch,, I haven't got the hang of the drum machine completely - but I've got a beat, and that's a start. Acoustic guitars, lead and rhythm guitar, bass and vocals are all me.....
So - the song's here...... http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=225059 ...."Blink Of An Eye" it's called. I'd appreciate your opinions, as always....this is my "classic pop" single that I should have done back in the 70's, but I couldn't play back then.....
(This is the first song I've ever posted that I'm REALLY proud of - OK, it's a piece of lightweight pop, but it's all me....)
Thanks in advance for listening,
:D :D :D

Hey Vic,
Seems your little sabbatical is working out for you :wink:
I like this you've really improved on all levels the vocals
sound great and the production is very good. I'm not nuts
about the drum machine but that's personal taste and I
understand it as a necessary evil. I was suppose to be a
drummer but found I had no talent in that area. Fortunatly
the guy who was suppose to be the guitarist was in the same
situation so we switched.
Hope to here more new recordings in the near future

Yeah.... what john said 8) Very well done. The only thing I can suggest is maybe changing the drum track a bit. It just seems a little busy in the back ground(the less is more thing).Thanks for posting, thoroughly enjoyed it 8)
Vic

Hi Vic,
I like it! :D
I don't know if the drum track is too busy or its level is too loud but I also detect something. Perhaps The voice track volume would need increased, sometimes is overlapped to the lead guitar... I don't know, just a comment! :D
Thanks for sharing!
Nice job, Vic!
Great drive and energy.
Maybe a remix to give it more on the bottom end? It's pretty sparse down there.
