Another one realized with the esteemed help of my friend Tom Fleming, who played a very convincing Mitchell Froom-like organ track with his GUITAR and some GADGET (he has several), as well as a really memorable and hummable Tilbrook-like guitar solo (that sounds just like a guitar, but was played on an organ - not really), of the type I favor distinctly, and other beautiful stuff, too!
Besides Tom's "organ," and completing the Crowded House tip-of-the-cap (along with the outro rave-up they were also fond of - thanks also to Tom for hearing the potential for that), for those savvy enough to notice & wonder, I will give up the ghost here at the outset and acknowledge that I am indeed intentionally sounding like Neil Finn on a few words (mainly the words "me" & "great" and the whole second verse harmony). Too much fun to do, and I couldn't pass up the chance (especially when I saw the smile on Tom's face whenever he heard it). I reckon if it was OK for McCartney to channel Little Richard, Fats Domino and Chubby Checker, that I can get away with one to Neil. Long overdue, really (thanks for all the great music and singin', Neil!).
Thanks for listening if you do (credits here: http://jamesfunk.net/new-recent), and supreme thanks to Tommy for again making me look so good.
Cheers to all. JF
