Thank you very much for your vote, Carrie!
I know it's a little bit hard to decide (I'm perspiring since about two weeks!). But your vote is done and your argument is really good (I've noticed it in my mind).

So, the counter state tends to balance again. We now have...

ALPHA: 2

BETA: 6

...and another one bites the solo...
...or maybe do not???

Okidoki, Roger! I've noted your vote. It's a hard race but the score now is...

ALPHA: 2

BETA: 7

...and once again the solo comes closer to me...

Hello, Theodore! I'm really appriciated about your comments. You showed a deep insight into my solo. I've noted your idea too!!!

So, once again the counter increases to...

ALPHA: 2

BETA: 8

...and that will hunt the hunter. My Gibson is grining like a Cheshire cat! I guess she will be played...

Thank you very much for your vote, Theodore!

Thank you for voting, Phil!

Now the counter increases to...

ALPHA: 3

BETA: 8

...and it still bites the Sheriff! *OUCH* That's me!!!

Well, it's a little bit after high noon local time in America! The choice is over and so we have a total result:

ALPHA: 3

BETA: 8

Okay, guys'n'gals, the most of you who did a vote here have confirmed the beta version. That means that I have to play the solo!!!

With regard to some of your very constructive critics and comments, that I really appreciated, I will partly change the solo (and some other bagatelles). I hope that I will hit your flavor a bit more...

Thanks again to all of you who invested some time for listening, judging and, at least, voting. I know that you are now waiting for more - especially for the end result of the version you have decided. The recordings will still last a while because there are some more songs to mix. If I would carefully try to do a forecast then I would say that the recordings will all be done at the end of this summer. I will constantly inform you if something new will happen...

Best regards,
Danny Barion
