-As I watched the ice and snow build up on my car today,
I realized that things ARE able to suck and blow at the same time!!!
ha ha ha
-Safely home now, I'm trying to think of what else can be done with "Twilight"...
The first thing I think this needs is for me to fire a cannon a few times, near the end, just before the song turns into the small wind-up music box. -AND tighten up the lead snare drummers' part, in a couple of spots...
"Fire!!!"
;-)
Twilight
(current version)
Finally!!!
-I am MOSTLY HAPPY with the orchestration of this!!!!
I hope to begin the composition of two (or three) guitar parts, and a Bass Guitar, of course...
Please enjoy the current re-mix, as it evolves!
3 Minutes 23 seconds!
:-)
STILL not "right", but "gettin' there"!!!
:-)
This is BY FAR my FAVORITE version, so far...!!!
-Listen close, and watch for the changes!!!
I hope you are enjoying this songs evolution!!!
:-)
After posting Version 3 last night, I realized just how poorly mixed it was.
-Here is the re-mix!
:-)

"Twilight" - Version 3
It is STILL "not entirely right", but it is MORE "like it"...
:-)
I know at least TWO people here who likes it when I post pieces of songs as they progress, so this is for them!

Twilight - Version 2
At long last, a new recording!!!
-As usual, it is unfinished. There are 8 tracks on it right now, and still needs: 3 percussion tracks, one or two Synth tracks, a Bass Guitar Line, at least two Guitar tracks, two or three violin parts (to make it sound orchestrated) and a voice modulation track (provided I can get my hands on a voice modulator...)
It is imperfect, and unfinished, but it is what I am working on.
Right now, it DOES sound a bit repetitious, but I am hoping that changes as I add the other parts. -I hope you like where it's going!
I call it "Twilight".
(And, it has NOTHING to do with the movie, ok?)
;-)
Once Again, I apologize to my VOX Friends here, ESPECIALLY to my friends: Morningberryz AND Michelle!!!
-The GOOD news is that I have FINALLY cleaned and restrung my Stratocaster, and have allowed the strings a few dayz to "stretch".
My next step, is to tune, practice and retune before I begin to lay down tracs.
(-SERIOUS Musicians understand the processes involved here...)
For my dear Friends :Morningberryz AND Michelle: Thank you for your CONTINUED patience with me, and please TRUST that the end result WILL be worth the wait!!!! Thank you, my DEAR FRIENDS!!!!

A Top Five List Of Things You Could Do When Facebook Apps Aren't Working Right:
#1) Cuss Uselessly At Your Computer Screen, or Post Something COOL Here At VOX instead.
#2) Read A Book.
#3) Play Some Other Game On Your PC.
#4) Watch A Movie.
#5) Listen To One Song I Like And One Song I Created, While Wondering JUST WHEN IT IZ That Jim Will Post A New Recording Already!?!?!?!?!?

-Hang Tight, k?
-Sooooonnnnnnn Enough!
Enjoy These Two Songs! :-)
