Re: Some Sean tunes. Some new, some remixes.

In case anyone is interested, here are some of my tunes on SoundClick. I've posted the link before, so I apologize if it seems like I'm selling something. 15 of the 19 tunes up there are originals, but you can listen and download for free. (What a deal!) There is a mix of acoustic, electric, rock, jazz-ish, r&b (I guess), blues .... I often have no idea what genre to put these things in. Once I had a country tune up as "shoe gazer" because I didn't know what "shoe gazer" was, but the name of genre struck me as funny. When one of my kids clued me in, I changed the genre.

Some damn nice guitar playing on "The near Distance". I also like the quiet beat in the background. The song is screaming for a weary voice singing about drinking whiskey and thinking about some babe that got away.

Bat and Beaver.. Hey Elvis! I like the sixtey ish sound but I think it could have louder guitars and voice more on the front..

Dim Light.. Nice sounding stuff once again.. I really like your guitar playing..

Auggie.. Sailing in sun comes to mind listening to this.. Happy mood.. I wonder if the clap is neccessary? I would probably rather hear a jazzy brush snare on a song like this..

Shining through. The name reminds me of a Chris Rea song. But you took it to different direction. Do you use a vocal doubler or are those real
two different voices? The song makes me think that you might want to try
Antares Harmony EFX.. I wonder how it would sound on those doubled parts..

Nice stuff all around.
