Wow, a surprise to see this thread resurrected over a year later. Thanks for the additional member feedback added since I orignally posted this.

I love the updated Pop culture "especially Emeril's
For those that may have missed my other references to comtemporary pop culture in this song, here are a few others: Wolfgang Puck's Restaurant, downloading ipod tunes, RazR cell phone, internet cafe, electronic bill payment. Go back and listen and see if you can catch them all.
Mikey: I honestly had a "lot of fun"
updating the lyrics to this one, but most classic standards (Gershwin, Porter, Kern, Mercer, etc) I not dare change. "This Could be Start Of Something Big" and "How About You", Burt Lane tune, have lyrics which refer to specific past era people, celebrities, and events that many now may not recognize or relate to, so can benefit from a lyric update, especially when targeting a younger listening audience.
Just in case anyone's interested, here's a link to the:
original lyrics to Steve Allen's: "This Could Be The Start Of Something Big".

Someones post said you tweaked the settings as well. What did you change in the settings?
In a nutshell, I merely
1) Increased volume level of Drum tracks and re-balanced volumes of other auto accomp instruments
2) re-adjusted reverb/chorus levels of style accomp parts
3) Use Full Bit Compressor Setting
4) Tweaked the preset DUET VH setting
5) then: played and sang my heart out.
All the best,
Scott
