OK, it's working :-)

Very nice, Paul! Although no earworm, this is exactly the stuff I 
would like to hear again from bands playing in those pubs around 
the place where I live (but the whole band scene has been dead 
for years :-(.
I really miss those rockbands that just play some nice songs 
without any tricks while I'm checking their gear and drinking 
beer with my muso friends....

I think the production is fine and fits the music. It almost 
sounds a bit 70's, and has sort of a live-feel. I like the fact 
how the singer sometimes sounds like the guy that was in Soft 
Machine in the 60's. In short - I've heard much worse from 
commercial albums.

I personally would play this song a couple of bpms faster.
The breakdown is very nice - a bit RHCP.
I get the feelling that all the musicians are trying a bit too 
hard to not make any mistakes, This does make the track sound 
less dynamic and tight than it could have been.
Perhaps it would be nice to work a bit on a more personalized 
guitar sound.

Hope to see you guys at a gig some time in the future :-)

Thanks for sharing.
