Oomph. Another oomph, Chika chika oomph! Dig this fun-ky rock, soundz like someone's being whipped.

this is wonderful music...very well performance...i do love this track my friend...very cool beat...i heard blues colours...great job my friend... peace...

Groovey -hadn't hear that word for awhile- er sorry 'groove'--I felt like I was in the 60's almost...scary feeling. lol Thanks to my two fave 'Mix. ladies', Margot and Wildhoneypie. Sweet!!!

oh wow, this groove is reminding me of something the rocktears did 7 or so years ago...How I love this V...heheee...Just the right amount of slide...tooo cool man...:-) Simple, love it...:-) peace n love Mags :-)

Ooo yeah, it's a 70's thang, alright! Nice groove you have going, Vesa! I enjoyed that little trip, because as I said, I was just getting my feet wet then! VERY cool! Gina

What can I say, but a funky thank you to the all esp. Ratman, who loves short and sweet funk (just jokin' Ratman -my good amigo; your a stubborn cat, but I still love you man), in that musical kinda way, you know what I mean. Get ready for some cool collabs. this week -long and tasty.

ALright my frind, real nice beat, Sweet guitar---Yea beat to groove for, where are the vox?Always short, whats up do you get tired or what? Very sweet piece. Your amigo friend, The RatMan!

Yes Vesa... If technology was brought in to beef this up,full on band sound... This would be a classic. Would be great movie music. As is,capturing the idea... It all works,and it shows that this is indeed a very good piece,just in need of some TLC from mother technology to take it up a level. But this detracts nothing from what it is,which is a damn good piece of writing and playing. MOST enjoyable Vesa Nigel.

Thanks very much Mike-K. Cool. I must have time on my hands now, (lol) unchained from my teaching. Thank you Eric-inspired by your response. I've been listening to too many cassette's from the 70's and 80's-- I guess-the cheesy beats from those eras stick like mud, lol. Take care all.

Whatever you do...you never seem to walk the downbeaten track...That's good...keeps a thickhead like me on my toes and my brain working...At first I took the sound of the piano for a zither or something...Have to change the battery of my hearing aid sometime...Adventure after adventure is being served up here with new undiscovered spices....Eric

No matter what your recording abilities may be, this little jam turned out nicely!!! Love the beat (could us a bit more "oomph"), but I really love the lead here a lot!!! Picked it up for the show!! Cheers, Mike

I really love to hear you playing that old swinging style. Reminds me to the jazz music from the 50th in Paris. You did it in an amazing way - soooooo perfect and with that old cool sound. Very impressed of your guitar work. Congrats Vesa -its first class. Greetings from your friend Erik

very nice guitar work...so sweet swing beat :))) i love this too... peace...

so let me get a listen this swing thing.. oh man can i get a down load.. wanna jam to this.. swing style.. i'm diggin this cuz.. got some delta swing and lots other good things.. that tremolo pickin is cool mang.. wish i could do that.. this is a new fave vesa.. and man it swings.. do more these stylishious dings.. :-)

Hotchaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I like the word 'lively' and 'clean guitar' -those words really inspire. Thanks kindly guys. I'm awake early. I appreciate the reviews, Emphyrio and Reapersg. Will be back to you.

Nice, clean and honest guitar work here, Vesa. I digg the tune :) Emphyrio :)

Hi Vesa! soundin nice n lively, some really cool turnarounds in this track. hey I hear that tremelo...love it! I'm diggin the free feelin atmo in this tune.

Nice track Vesa - so nice to see a tribute to Django! Nice work - sweet playing. Good work man!

Vesa I love the music by Django Reinhardt and you did it very well. Excellent sound - you got the feeling of the early 40th, 50th. My truly compliments to play that kind of music. Do you also know Henryi Crolla - I love him... Thanks for that outstanding idea and tune. I think our project will be realised soon :-)) ERik

love django vesa.. and it great to hear you do too.. that one phrase really does sound like django with grappeli.. the tremolo picking is very reminicent of django too.. the progression doesn't sound 30s all the way but it's 2008 is what i say.. must have fun django to play.. hope you got some fish on your fishin trip.. have a nice day.. :-)

Haachaaaa!!...a ditty of a tune. Short and capturing some of the essence of da man with the gypsy swing groove. Thanks Jim and Reapersg... most appreciated guys.

I recall this one from a while back, Vesa. You're strapped for time, too, right now I see. This was well worth hearing again. Inspired by Djando... and you've created another delightful trip down memory lane. Well done, my friend. Peace, Jim

Hi Vesa, Great hearing something new from you and it sounds like you've been thinkin of django lately! Cool my friend!!! I'm diggin the raw gypsy feel in the melody lines and rhythm.

It's a short & sweet ditty of the eclectic gypsy in me too. I've been lucky to have some spare time now. It maybe one uploaded for awhile, and fun it was. One can't ever 'be him;, never, of course,- just try to feel his soul out and turn it into my way. That's about all so much.

Hi Vesa. just gona listen to you play. love your sound! DACE>

Ohhh yep, it really is "fundjango" ehheee, sounds like an old parlour guitar...Sounds great, eheheh, like it loads Vesa..:-) Really enjoyed the listen...:-) Peace n love Mags :-)

My attention was immediately draw by ur intro (Bourre/Jehtro Thull). I loved the way U did the rythm cross-overs. So much to discover in this song. Very nice peace of work, Vesa . Emphyrio

Great groove Vesa...you and Rob did a great job on this track. Love the modality of this piece. Excellent performances by all. GREAT work guys!!!

Thank you very kindly Margot & fellow Canuk Norman, most kind...love your guitar artistry Norman. Will catch up to your lastest inspiring instrumental unique guitar style.

Oh yeah...Cooler than cool...Sounding familiar, like something from my old rocketears days..ehheeee...That has to be a good thing...Very enjoyable listen...:-) Nice one guys...:-) Peace n love Mags :-)

This piece is full of so many cool musical textures and terrific phrases. Excellent I loved it!.. Very creative and superbly performed

man--really captivating work gents!! sweet picking and rob always knows how to lay it down!! really enjoyed your vibe!!

A 60's feel...never really gave that a thought Paul, but it could be, -I'm very often analysing with comparing with other bands/sounds...curious cat me. Maybe 'Moby Grape' crosses 'Grateful Dead' mmmmm? Thanks very much Paul-appreciate the comments.Now I can't sleep until I can figure which band it may sound more like. lol

Great collab guys, real 60s feel to this, very hypnotic and totally absorbing! Great work guys, Paul

Rob and I thank you, reapserb, Dace, Chris Moore, Dragonstale & again the artists I mentioned yersterday below...& all the rest that played... means alot to us. I can surely speak for Rob on that appreciation. -Vesa.

Hey guys this is pretty cool! lots of interesting things going on in this transfusion of notes and sounds. I like those subtle changes and shifts in chords.

Hey Vesa and Rob - nice little collab this one, gets quite hypnotic sometimes, maybe it's the eastern sound of that guitar - or the interesting effect when the rhythms cross over each other.. enjoyed it, thanks! Chris

Well...a real ol' foot-tapper this one my firend(s)...this to Rob also. i'm just sittin here chilling to this...lovely collab. Sounds like a fun time was had by all...:) Gordon

Yes....good to hear you two together. its a good add to the vesa sound. not over done, just the right amount of bass. i must say Rob keeps this track moving allong nicely. good jod playing vesa. nice collab. congrats to both. like that ending man. DACE>

Thanks to all here for such great comments. Thanks Rob for a wonderful time to enjoy your company in a fun tune together. As Dace said in his new song which all should listen to "Your dreams can come true; never too late", and this was one I had a wish to do, so thanks again Rob, a most talented friend I'v ebeen honoured to collab. with. Great work done so effortlessly, it feels. Cheers.

WONDERFUL! I LOVE THIS MUSIC! Neda

Sounds like you two had fun creating this piece! Rob created a great sounding soundscape for you to play some really cool and tasty stuff over, cool with mandolin and those great blues lines with the variax. Great collab and performance by all.

A cool little jam !! As with the majority of my friend's, Vesa, tunes, the openest of the feel and jam are whats count, and this one is no exception. It just moves (or is that grooves) along nicely, with Rob adding some great open-atmosphere to it. To me, it really had that San Francisco - summer of love feel to it. Sounded like fun, and it's fun to listen to. William

Thanks for asking Vesa :-)....I certainlyhad a BALL!!! Loved it and was honored to play with you :-) Rob

Vesa and Rob that stands for two excellent musicians. I hear your individual guitar style Vesa and it links the traditional sound with a very modern style. A little touch of oriental music combined with some pop rock and 60th blues elements. I'm always impressed of your courage to start some musical experiments. Cool. My complents to that two outstanding guys. Erik

Thanks to my collaborator Rob Grant for his fine Mix/mastering of his synth brass, his fine movin' bass, cosmic synth bass choir,& surely things I think I'm hearing magically produced with a cool enveloping of my Variax guitar, mandolin, piano and also thanks to the percussionist he,he. Great Rob. Most fun.

Hey Vesa & Rob.... some Maha Vishnu Orchestra vibes in this one guys... flooded sound ..... well titled track for the effect achieved!... henry

Hi guys...this one is good fun! Really chugs along nicely. Some great performances. :) I found the mix a little harsh on the ears though, and there's a real tangle of instruments and sounds jumbled on top of each other center-stage which I think would be better panned wider. cool!

This was supposed to have been done by us. lol Soundz cool to me, really dig that late 50's smoky bar lp sound. Must be a human playing; I hear a reverb and a couple of wood floors pounding and a twang.

If you like Elmore James I'm sure you'll like Hookers rendition of a slow EJ's tune with a bit uptempo for sure. Coming sometime soon. Nice change. Can't wait. Have patience.

I will be doing another Elmore James tune very likely, maybe collab. in the near future. hanks to all who enjoyed and reviewed this one. I need to get my teaching preparation set up as an 'Internet teacher' under the Ontario Ministry of Education, being situated in a resort area in N.W. Ontario, Canada. Kool!!! Look up 'Pickle Lake, Ontario' on Google Earth... Then you'll almost find me. ha,haa. Don't zoom down too far, or you may drown in the huge million dollar view of a lake infront of my temporary residence. Thanks all.

Love the playing.....excellent lines and playing....a fitting tribute. Great stuff!!!!!

You said it all so right Hooker; This needed no extra, not even bass, to give it that early 60's lp, sound. The piano does fine with the bass keys. The review/comments coming from a slide talent & singer as you my friend means alot to me, with those inspiring words Erik. -Your friend. -Vesa.

WEll Vesa I´m happy that you realised that project. And the sound is very near the original. I told You I love not only the slide of E.J. than the drumms and the piano of his band. And you did it wonderful. I know a number of songs of Elmore James and I like to hear it every time. Your guitar style played with your Dobro sounds as in the early 60th, rythm is cool (especialy the rythm supported by the piano) - oh man phantastic that you realised that idea.... With much respect your frinend Erik

Nice song here Vesa...really cool track with atmosphere. Lovn that slide guitar...real bluesy sound, well arranged and performed...thanks for an excellent morning listen - Gordon

Thank you Dazed, Dace, Lucindra & Reapserg. Most kind of you all. Made my day.

cool Vesa playing to a cool tribute...slide is soundin crystal clear....nice subtle changes in the rhythm. has that live "in the room" feel!

And a fine tribute that was!!...A smoke filled room with a small stage....an old upright against the wall...a 3 piece trap and a man with a burden on his shoulders....releasing his pain through the bottle neck on his finger.....Fine job Vesa.....

ITS THE "TRUE" VESA SOUND! I would not like it ANY other way VESA! Your keeping music alive with this! "VESA" to my ears..:) GO YOU!!!!!...:) DACE>

interesting piece. has that old recording feel/sound. love the piano playing in here.

A tribute to the original king of electric slide, Elmore James, and the man who started blues rock, rollin.

Cool reggae-- you've painted quite a picture here. Inspiring. You have a very creative style, uniquely yours. Your music comes complete with visual-inspiring soundscape. It works real nice for me, Vesa. I love Margaritas and Bloody Marys, myself. Goes even better with white sand and warm, blue water. Very nicely done, and I enjoyed our little visit here. Gina

I like especially that wonderful played guitar - it sounds very special. Reaggy sound - brings a number of feelings over. Cool song Vesa - another great idea of your great musicality. Thanks my friend. Erik

I forgot to thank Pete from Bedford, U.K. -alias Europica, who gave the inspiration for this tune...with his added shuffle/percussive sounds. Didn't forget you matey. -Vesa. (You must come to Mix.; been trying) No more Funender, so this is the place to be; even if Funender was still 'round...this has more life.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KILLER! NIGEL! GREAT! WWWWhhhhhEeeeeEEeeEeeEeee. TO GOOD MAN! Love the sounds and FX you mixed in here. WTG VESA AND NIGEL! WOWSOME..:) (FAVE IT DACE)...K..will do! DACE>

I love the concept fantastic song!! My only suggestion would be to slow the pace down. When I lived in the US virgin islands in the the late 70's I remember that live bands played very laid back slow beat. The Rasta's liked a little grass..

Thanks, keep on playing the reggae...I'm heading on a short vacation excursion...but I have a new laptop...he,he...should leave it & relax...Toronto & to Florida, very soon. Like yesterday.

Hi Vesa... I really like this one. Nice mood and feel...and it's nice to hear the change of pace from you. Kewl mixing...the echoes work on this...I gave up rum and coke (not necessarily in that order)...so I'll just have to settle for sex on the beach...LOL. Hugs...Mike (NAV)

Really nice Vesa... Sweet playing! Great groove! Reggae fits you nicely! Great arrangement/production. Love the playing! Great work!

Now this is a good sounding tune Vesa. That bottom end lends a frame for that expressive guitar work.Really some good depth and dimension to this mix, and the whole thing flows very nicely. Well done my friend, these are good collabs you two are doing here ! Peace, Tsargoth

A great song, Vesa... Nigel's bass helps add some bottom to the mix, and the guitars are just freakin' wonderful... You create a great mood here, and it carries throughout the song. Cool stuff! Peace, Jim

An EXCELLENT mix, Vesa... nice lil' groovy thang goin' on, fitting for any beach anywhere... congratz!{quote]Zzaj The little thang is hangin' out in Montego Bay...Nice ladies, smell the weed mon...the locals can't soliicite anymore...you have to go to the seller of merchandise and inquire...I was there when there was a bit of bothering my sellers to get your attention...policmon say no can do...

An EXCELLENT mix, Vesa... nice lil' groovy thang goin' on, fitting for any beach anywhere... congratz!

Great tune, brother!!! Will be in my show EARLY this Saturday! Better tune in EARLY! ;) Cheers, Mike

Nice! As ever, some very cool and original 'Vesa' trademark soloing: spun across a diverse and refreshing range of genres. We've even had a day or two of sun in the UK so the Reggae feel was perfect! Cheers Richard

Love the feel and the ideas in the arrangement. Good playing all around. For me the lead guitar is a little to upfront. But that doesn`t really matter `cause the song is cool and brings a smile on my face. Greetz Hans

love the reverb on the reggae riffs. and the lead guitar sounds great. love the soulful bends. bass rides behind but sounds cool. very free playing on lead. and the mix is outstanding. love it. --Z

nice little reggae thing---really enjoy your guitar playing on this--nice tone and freestyle all the way!! love it--you have avery stylistic approach to all your music!! cheers

Wow, Vesa, this is fresh reggae mood with sweet melancholy on main guitars. Pure melodic pleasure, and very nice percussion work too. Pascal

Rum & coke & sex on the beach, with a blanket,...I thought I'd answer that before you reviewed. Not always in that order...
