RE: Open Mic Week 53 - "Back up" (original song)
@carlgnash Once again you have nailed it. What a great tune! Love the whistling section. I was not expecting the quicker verse at the end.... LOVED IT. Great goove and those lyrics, KILLER. You are a talented man, Skipper carlgnash.
Aye aye Skipper! The whistle was born on PAL, I was filling out the music bio spreadsheet in the Music chat channel and I put down "whistle" for my third instrument (I play a lot of instruments so this was a hard choice). That made me realize I hadn't busted out my whistle chops yet in open mic. I added the whistle section just for open mic, that has never been a part of that song's performance before!
I spend a lot of time whistling ;)
RE the quicker verse - when I played this song live with a band we would jam out on that quicker section for a while, that song was always a crowd pleaser and a good way to get people up dancing - the transition to the fast section always seemed to have a galvanizing effect on a crowd :)
