Thanks guys. Flattered you mentioned Michael McDonald That man's got SOUL!

The original was done years ago in a small studio in Charleston WV. A friend of mine who owned the studio owed me a favor, so I cashed in with a fully mastered version of this song.

The original as REALLY nice. We used 4 boards at the time. I think they were the Roland XP-80, Yamaha EX-5, Korg Trinity, and I'm pretty sure he even threw in some sounds from the Roland G-1000.

Anyway out of respect for my wife (and my life) I don't think I'll remake the tune in its entirety.

Again thanks for the comments. I didn't think I sounded anything like Luther.

Squeak: You've got 'your own' unique sound, and that's a GOOD thing. Don't let anyone influence you into imitating ANYBODY else.

This brings to mind Elvis Presley's famous quote: "I don't sound like nobody", when asked who he thought he sounded like.

You sound great Squeak, liked the accompaniment as well. The pad sound is really nice and appropriate to the song.
