Thank you so much for listening! I applied some vocal touch ups with Celemony to my other songs, and they sound much better too. It was scary to see my vocal performances on a staff and see how off key I was. But I quickly discovered that too much correction sounds unnatural - at least for lead vocals. I wouldn't have even thought of purchasing Celemony if it hadn't been for some complaints from you guys that my voice gets off key.

If I get any success with this project, I am going to spend some money on vocal lessons with the best teacher I can find in Chicagoland.

I wanted a retro feel with this song. One of my favorite Stones songs - sound wise - is Under My Thumb which has marimbas or some similar percussive instrument. I thought about piano, but with the rhythm guitar and rotary organ, I wanted something sparse.

Bill in Dayton says: Mix wise, I wanted to hear more of a rhythm instrument through most of the song. I thought the lead vocal might be just a tad...just tad... a little hot.

I will try taking some of the crunch off the rhythm guitar and turning down the lead vocal just a tad to see what results I get. Thanks so much for the suggestion.

Thanks so much for listening. Because of a few constructive critiques of the lyrics on that "In My House of Love" song, I rewrote much of it with some input from a friend who's also a songwriter and who also was an English major.

I'm sending out demos now. Hopefully, I won't get too many letters back with the two words: "Wrong decade."
