See Q-Zone on my BM site.

We've fought and won the zombie war but what is left? Some folks can't just jump back into civilian life - they don't even remember how it works. So they go to the Q-zone and 'come down slowly;' half soldier, half farmer. Some are lovers - lovers who have never experienced peace time and are half mad with PTSD.

The full title is 'Life in the Q-Zone: PTSD for Lovers'

I love what Courtney has done with this song. We have achieved my personal goal - the creation of Southern Symphonic Metal! She understands the song and we have started on the next. Recording quality? Oh well... We both know we can do better and I'm already setting up a session to do that.

JimmyD - I quite appreciated your comment about how ambitious this project is. True Dat. I'm slicing up this elephant a few bites at a time and I think I hit a milestone today - when the singer understands your song - you have something.

For an album I played bass on many years ago - we rehearsed 11 songs for 28 straight days and that was after playing them on the road for most of a year. She and I have done this four times. I'm very impressed that she is making it her own.

I like her voice. But JimmyD - you are a pro - tell what you really think and I'll appreciate it. I've never known you to give any but constructive criticism. Now that she is onboard (i.e. getting it and digging it) we both it want it to be better.

thanks

Thanks pal.

But don't you think that reggae is kind of a long way off from Southern Symphonic Metal?

I can see my singers hitting a jay while the zombies gnaw on them!

cheers

Mike, I have never ever heard a singer sound quite the same as your Courtney ..
