A Lighter Side Of Me.....

Man, this is an old recording done on 2'' tape. It got a lot of air play in the Chicago area, sent it to a bunch of record companies and pretty much got the same response.....It sounded too much like John Mellencamp. :oops2:
All the guitar tracks are me, can you guess how many there are?

Nice work!
I’ve had a couple with my hockey game, but I’ll guess at 5 tracks...could be 6 I guess...but if arranged conservatively, as few as 4.
 
By the way, I don’t really get the “Mellencamp” thing...I guess if I were forced to nail it to a genre, I might go there...but 90s pop/alt. is what it is, to me... good structure...I wish I was so crafty, from time to time.
Got a little Tom Petty in there, to me.

Very good arrangement and lyric content. I hear some influences, but no carbon copy of anyone. Its really a fantastic production. I like it.

I hear a Bryan Adams-esque feel to certain parts.

I would send it to Adam's management today. What a great song!!!
