Calling

BuzzHaze

Hot off the presses.

My mom wrote the words and I did the rest. It's kind of a sad song but she's one heck of a writer. She knows how to pull on heart strings...lol

Let me know what you think, she would love to know someone's listening.
(she's 73 yrs old)

Drop a dime? Wow, your mom must have written that line.

Other than that line, the lyrics are damn good. The music fit the lyrics perfectly. Excellent. I didn't like the Elvis impersonation. I would have like to hear it sung unaffected.

BuzzHaze

lol..ya, she's in her 70's and hasn't used a payphone since 1956...but I didn't want to change the old school feel she added to the lyrics.

To be honest, I only have one voice and I am certainly not an Elvis impersonator. This is what I sound like. Please tell me that I sound like Elvis....ha-ha!!! Watch my head swell to the size of a pumpkin.

I know what you mean by the vocal track being a little wet. I will re-mix it with less delay and see how that sounds. Thanks for the comments. Since I work alone, it really helps to have some outside input

Another good tune there Buzz, you are just too much! The overall feel was good, and your mom writes great lyric. Tell her it's fine to use any references she likes, I still use the term \"drop a dime\" in everyday conversation so I believe it's still a valid reference, don't pay any mind to these young whipper-snappers, lol. I liked your vocal as well, although i didn't hear Elvis(???). All I hear is classic Buzz. Keep it up guys, you make a pretty good songwriting team!

Excellent tune once again Buzhaze! I agree with less delay on the vocal. As far as Elvis? yeah I don't quite hear that either. I hear one darn tallented Musician with a decent Lead vocal voice! Good job man! Always a treat! 8)

Another beautiful one Buzz Your vocals are great and your mom did an excellent job with the lyrics and I agree the music fits very well with them!

BuzzHaze

Thanks guys. I re-mixed it without the delay and I think it sounds cleaner. I was able to take some of the sharpness out of the message machine part....it was too harsh, plus I took just a touch of the bottom end off.

As a side note....the voice on the answering machine is my x wife. How's that for authentic? I got her to record the lines right into my answering machine, then I just hung a mic over it and played it back. She got a kick out of that.

...she may want a piece of the action if it sells...ha-ha!!

Buzzhaze, Do you have any so,so stuff? Something you could pull off the shelf and dust off. Just to prove to us mere humans that at one time you were human like us! :P

That was a lovely tune, you and your Ma make a great team.

So do you plan on releasing a CD anytime? You must have enough material for a box set! 8)

I have nothing to say it;s all been said. Besidea how do you tell Elvis his stuff stinks? You can't, cause it doesn't!

Nice tune, your stuff always makes for some happy ears! .. thanks

Oh almost forgot. Are you going to change your sn to \" Elvis Buzzly \" haze. LoL That's funny, not even close to the king.

BuzzHaze

ha-ha!!! now my head has doubled in circumference....naw, not really but I sure am excited to see such great reviews on this song. I also felt it was quite good but I just figured it was because my mom wrote it and we are so close...you know.

oddest thing happened last night. I got an email from a girl who wants to marry me....lol Im not kidding. She wrote me this big long message about relating to my music etc....my first e-groupie.

...or my first cyber-stalker

Excellent! ... WTG ... If you don't want her, perhaps you can point her in shreds direction! He's in need of a gropie. eh eh eh

Besides, I believe it is not uncommon for musicians to pass groupies around.

:shock: Wow Buddy, That's the best one I've heard you do yet.
I'm super impressed. Super clean and fantastic to listen to.
Pro. (Thumbs up to your mom)

cool 8) Very nice Buzzhaze! I like this one better. Like you said a tad cleaner!

BuzzHaze

thanks guys. Taking the delay off the vox really cleaned it up. I didn't even notice how wet it was until the next day.

At first I thought the song was a little bit too fluffy but as things got added, it seemed to find it's own groove. I wrote the song on piano, all my other stuff was written on guitar so it sounds a little different.

Well, I got another marriage proposal over on recording .org. Holy crap, if I would have known how much women fall for love songs, I would have never been in rock bands all those years. lol...well, maybe just a few.

I can see it now...I'm on stage singing my love songs...a pair of panties comes flying at me from the audience...only to discover, it's a 24 hour girdle off some 56 yr old granny.....AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! still warm too

Tom Jones and I.....comparing panty collections....in a retirement home

That's why the power ballad was invented. Rock bands can make the cross-over. 8)
