New Song - Equinox

[Glennbo]

A new song I sketched out on the Spring Equinox using my little purple 3/4 scale Ibanez miKro guitar. Then I added my Epiphone SG with a new B5 Bigsby whammy bar I just installed, along with bass and drums. On Easter Sunday I wrote all the lyrics and recorded the vocals.

Polymod is on Fender Rhodes and all the solo guitar parts.

This is a song about people trying to run other people's lives, rather than minding their own business. It's titled Equinox at:

Hey - it sounds good guys!
This reminds me of something straight out of the 70s - I can't think exactly what, maybe
Joe Walsh or someone like that.

Everything sounds good - nicely done ;-)

John, you hit the nail on the head.
I was trying my best to channel Joe Walsh...right down to using a slide for
the first lick!
Thanks bro!

Thanks John!

Poly riddled me on what guitar player he was channeling, and I lost. You on the other hand have won the contest, without even knowing that you were playing! <GGG>

That is so weird!
It just came to me out of the blue ;-)
It's not like I've listened to anything by Joe Walsh in the last 40 years...

I have James Gang Rides Again digitized on my DAW, and fire it up to play drums with now and again.

The bomber is a fun one to play on drums. :)

Nice song. once Poly said it that Joe Walsh sound popped

Thanks Max. When Poly mentioned the Joe Walsh inspiration, I remembered that at 2:58, thinking my bass line sounded pretty similar to the synth bass in the middle of Joe Walsh's "Life's been good".

Poly's guitar parts were all excellent! :)

Thanks Poly.

It's been up more than a month, and still sitting at #4 in Avant Rock.

https://www.soundclick.com/music/charts.cfm?genreID=12&subgenreID=29

Interestingly enough, the #1 on that chart today is an ancient 1975 song my buddy "Tar Nation" recorded at his apartment when we used to use his bass case for a bass drum, and his GE Deluxe Toaster Oven as a snare drum. That's why the drums sound so crappy. He had me import the old music tracks, but the vocals were re-done in REAPER.

Tar had a Dokoder 4-Track reel-to-reel several years before I bought my first multi-track, so we'd record at his apartment, and since there weren't any digital drums back then, we used bass case and toaster oven for drums. Not that much different than using a cahone for drums today though.

When I was 11 years old I got the "Have Fun, Play Drums" album by Hal Blaine. Many years later I found out how many of my favorite songs he was playing drums on with the Wrecking Crew.

> Hey, use what you got!

When the band I was touring with in the 70s got booked on a cruise ship, we stopped in Trinidad and saw a really great 20 or so member steel drum band. Talking to some of the players, they told me how they hand hammered their steel drums out of 50 gallon oil drums. They also had one guy who played a brake drum from a car, and it sounded great.

> I'll have to dig up an old Radio Piece III tune where all of us played various utensils/pots/pans on a "rhythm track"!

I've always said that if you can hit it and it makes a noise, then it's fair game as a percussion instrument.

There's a guy on a local station they call "The Music Professor". He does a
show every Saturday morning that features one particular artist.
A couple of weeks ago they did Hal Blaine. Over 4 hours of music, all with
him on drums.
One thing that cracked me up:
He played on the song "Love Will Keep Us Together" and never heard the
vocals until finding out he won a Grammy for playing on the tune. He had no
idea!!!!

That's too funny! I love music trivia.

Did you know the Captain used to play keys for the Beach Boys, and Mike Love gave him his nickname?
