Hi Steve & John, no problem for me if you've been even more merciless, that is the only way to get better, so feel free to mail me privately and tear it up completely. When you produce a song you hear it a thousand times and after a while you may like it, as you don't notice the weaknesses anymore. You guys heard it with "fresh ears" therefore I think such criticism is far more valueable than my own. I am currently reworking the complete song, so input of any kind is of big help. Go on, mail me privately, tell me it's crap, tell me I should give it up, that's okay as long as you tell me why ;-)) Cheers, Gerry > Message: 1 > Date: Thu, 30 May 2002 11:52:34 +0100 > From: Steve Pering <steve@...> > Subject: Re: Feedback needed > > Oh dear Gerry...
