Not a banjo fan-but it works here! Loved the melody, loved the vocals! (Kind of a Clapton feel) Felt like it needed a chorus, or bridge, or some kind of musical/vocal statement between each verse. The ending after 3:05 seemed like a bit of an add on without purpose.
Always, always, enjoy your work Mark! -Mike Thanks Mike! Yeah, it started out as three verses like this, and since it was basically a modified blues pattern with a repeating title in play, I wasn't feeling the pull to a chorus. I let it just stop on the last V chord with the organ, but that way of ending sounded sort of torn off, which I had mixed feelings about. I almost added a solo verse before the last verse, but that seemed like a recipe for an even more repetitive, longer song. So I started hearing this sort of wind-down outro in my head, and played it out...it does seem unrelated, its only purpose to create an exit. Great feedback, thank you.

Man that's a great vibe. Kinda Neil Youngish but funkier  Love the vocals and harms, and yes the banjo works here like a charm.  Big show ending too - nice! Paul

Hi Mark:
The banjo and that funky sounding bass seemed to work well together. Sometimes experimentation is needed to find out what works... or doesn't... LOL! I enjoyed my listen. That crazy "album jacket of floating eyeballs" grabs the attention of potential listeners.
Am I mistaken or has soundclick cleaned up it's site... or is this a membership fee version?
All the best, ----Dave Thank you, Dave! Yes, Soundclick has been totally revamped. It looks a lot different, but the best thing it now does is to allow large WAV files to be uploaded and played, instead of just tinny MP3s. And it's still free to use...I've never taken them up on an upgrade package.
