bls, what problems are you having with the format?

don't be defensive - it may be a little early to speculate on next years line up but as the list was released just recently and I have wondering who our free agents are, I found the information very helpful.

summer song Review: there is much that I like about this song - it is very evocative, the termpo and tune match the lyrics, the music is perfect in suiting the mood and feeling of being hot in the summer so a bit more laid back; I realy liked not using the song title in the lyrics because given the title, the tempo makes sense and it was easy to picture myself singing that sing in the right circumstance. Lyrics are quite well written. Beautiful marriage of words and music and that is great when it fits so well. The sound of the sung lyrics was in accord with and evocative of the tune itself, so that passes a major test with flying colors. Critique: I'd drop the additional singer(s), or the overdubs, on those few notes you have them on - takes away - realize you have moved in a "we" voice there rather than than the singular voice of the rest, but that piece should be sung singular too as it represents only his plainitive hopes, and thus should stay in the singular voice. Suggestions: could you slow it down a tad more, or underplay soundwise the guitar on some of the verse, usingit at the current volumn in the transitions have no idea if these will work, but my arrangment suggestions. An occasional low played tambourine or harmonica used sparingly as in early Dylan Or not. Play around and see what happens. These are only suggestions I'd have you try were I your producer just to see and accept or reject after hearing. Which I ain't so you can blow me off totally. The bridge was short if there was one - did I miss bridge and am a fool, or that intentional? I note Eminem dropped the bridge total in his last song. Overall, I give it, and a 1-10 scale, a 9.25, very high. I will relisten tomorrow and amend these comments as needed. I can only do one song at a time - I really liked it, that is a high score for me to give, I hope you know that. edit note: listened to it again and really like it more than before - love waht you did with lyrics, loved the drop of the second "summer" in the lines "this is one of those summer days, this id, this one of those days." Was much more powerful because you chose not to repeat, to mirror totally, and that dfference adds meaning and depth to the lyric. Usually only secure knowledgable singer-writers know that, so I am impressed highly.

just for you - my bro - the manager of the 2003 Division Champion Chicago White Sox, and 2 time winner AL Manager of the Year:

I meant that in the nicest light possible Vince as of course, I took it that way and my reply was meant in the same spirit!

I'll agree with you Kipper!

I shall ignore the rant of CK, a great man and tremendous Sox fan who has a rare blind side or two showing. But I love my bro anyway. Ihope I am right too. I remmber wondering why JM made some moves he did that Sunday game against the cubs, which we lost late, and then we had 7 huge games ahead - Cleveland and NY. Found out he had set up his pitching ahead for games we needed (in that we already taken that series) and he followed his plan and we were 7-0 that week. Taking the next three series is very important. So based on the past, I am guessung this is JM's plan and I hope it comes to pass.

In 2000, JM made a few decisions that seemed odd in dealing with the pitching - cubs won late in game and we took series 2-1. But it turned out he had a plan about using certain pitchers and players in such a way to have well rested and ready for the next set of game: the glorious week in Clevemand and NY. Might have lost the one game, but the team was in prime shape for its big games. I ususpect JM is working something here and we shall see great results in twinkie town
