I thought I'd see if anyone "appreciates" this new song I produced...

...this is the first attempted final mix - actually one of two mixes which are the same except for the endings - this one is the fade-out ending. The other mix - not available at the link - is the extended ending which is like 8 or 15 seconds longer.

The band is called Green Sparkle Frog, the song is called "Moment of Silence."

Any feedback/critique on this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It's the first song at the top of the list here:

I will be producing a final version on CD, PM me with a po box/mailing address and I will send one out to you if you'd like.

The same applies to anyone else on this thread.

...with all kinda different/same/bands/members/studios etc.

I own the original (used for) RECORDING (as opposed to the LIVE PERFORMANCE) DRUM KIT of Dewey Martin - drummer of Buffalo Springfield - an Oak Lawn Badge Camco kit circa early 1960s - which Dewey used on "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield. He also used it when he recorded with Patsy Cline, The Dillards, The Standells and whoever he hooked up with before he was with Buffalo Springfield.

In 1978, Dewey was the first drummer (I was the third) in the first band I was in (before I was the drummer I was a vocalist) - called Scott Thomas Lowe & Atascadero.

That's me on the Far Left, Scott Thomas Lowe is 2nd to the right of me, and Dewey Martin is 6th in line, looking kind of goofy.



When Dewey quit the band to be an "auto mechanic,", he sold me his Camco drum kit, see the early 2000's re-furbed kit below:

Pretty much nuthin.

There are CDs/vinyl records of several things for sale through Amazon and the Internet in General - esp Ebay - where people are selling my CDs and records, but I get nothing cuz I don't know where "they" got their product.

The sales numbers are so low, it means nothing to me.

If you want one of my records/vinyl/cds - ASK and you shall RECEIVE, if I still have it.

Other than that, there's the extremely occasional $23.89 bmi royalty check for "international airplay."
