Lots of fun (as that song has to be). I don't love drum machines, but other than that I really enjoyed it. All the vocals are very cool, definitely in the right spirit.

Luther, man, that's all I have is drum machines...I'm stuck off of the laundry room in the back of my little house, and I couldn't move real drums in there if I wanted...But....At least they were played manually. That's ME hitting the keys to a click track, a hair better than just letting a drum track roll. Hard to get that 'denny' sound on artificial drums,though...I am glad you took a listen. I have been wanting to do 'shorenin' bread' for a long time, just to see how it would turn out.

Drums are the death of us all! The "Lines" I did this morning includes a drum track my drummer recorded for one of my songs -- Sleeping is Fun -- edited to fit the part i needed. (Shhhh, don't tell.) I have natural drums here, but I can barely play them at all. That's why on my tracks, you'll get great drums (my drummer), awful drums (me) or aux percussion!
