Hello

Here`s two new tunes, recorded at a rehearsal.
Billies Bounce and Shade, a ballad written by me.
Unfortuneately the sound quality isn`t very good. We used a minidisc-player to record it, and we put it to close to our instruments/amp.
But I hope you`ll listen to it anyway Smile

And as always, comments are very much appreciated.

I really liked "Shade" a lot. Very nice tune, very tasteful ideas. "Billies Bounce" was great. The guitar sound was a little overdriven, especially in your chordal part of your solo (which was cool, very Wes-like Cool

), so at least on my speakers it sounded a pretty muddy. Your single-line stuff is excellent. You have such a great command of the instrument Cool

Hey PaulD

Thanks man. Glad you liked "Shade". Yeah, I know the sound is very overdriven on the recording. The MD-player was too close to the guitar-amp so...
Thanks again for the compliments.
And it`s so fun playing the blues Smile

Great stuff Mike!

Billies Bounce remains one of my fave Benson tunes (cover) to this day! Brought back memories!

Love your natural feel and execution. Keep them coming!
