This is "So Long Maryanne" Leonard Cohen - acoustic song with a dead serious and punchy bass player in the back which brings out the song quite a but..
Nice tune man.

Thanks Mike,
Re: Cohen's tune, is a "move it forward" tempo, very subtle anthem...I could see it in a pastoral setting.. . You know, sort of like
Were traveling on the road, on a mission and reflecting on what everybody else is missing.. .. thing. The Bass line for that one. definitely keeps the dust from settling on the tune...
In my song, I'm hearing a lot of voids, begging for alternating notes on the bass-line, more for the purpose of defining the song's dimensions and form, rather than augmentation of tempo. Of course, my twisted mind could be wrong. I'll never really know till I get a bass player (who knows what to do...) <sigh>...
See, this is normally the part where I would start to cry and whine, and blashemy my home town... But instead, I'll just shaddup and be patient (and plot my plan Bs)
