According to Dave's website: "It is available now with an MSRP of $879.00 and an MAP of $799.00." That's not to say it's not worth it...

Looks like an incredibly cool little machine! However, it seems this particular hunk of cheese will set you back around $800. Unfortunatley, my "gear money" is allocated elsewhere at the moment.

NOW it makes sense! That would explain whole "chords don't exist" thing.

I'm so far behind in my listening... Steve - Solar was mind-blowing! Man, I'm running out of superlatives to describe your work!

Thanks Linwood! Regarding Sgt. Pepper, after the the tongue lashing Pat Metheney gave to Kenny G for treading on a Louie Armstrong track - I wouldn't dare!

Sue/Dave - Thanks! I think... Here is a brief history of the abuse we put this song through: ORIGINAL VERSION: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icdfIGOXIFI REHARM #1 http://www.remainsmusic.com/audio/bsrs.mp3 REHARM #2 http://stashbox.org/387174/And..YBCS.mov I did the vocal arrangement quite a while ago (same time frame as the Rigby thing). It was mostly just an experiment to amuse myself. I liked the intro and the slower "ballad" section, but I considered the rest to be pretty much a throw-away. Also, I used very poor mic pre's which made the vocals rather harsh. It sent the recording to Steve a couple of weeks ago, and he turned it into something really fun! I'm beginning to think I could send Steve a recording of fingernails on a blackboard and he could make something musical out of it! Dave - just curious, have you ever heard the Revolver "take 2" version of And Your Bird Can sing?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy3rSm_8Ydg This is the version I WISH they had released - great groove! McCartney's bass line is sublime.

Piano4U, Sue, Dave, Linwood - thanks so much for the kind words! To be honest, I had some hesitation about inflicting this old, broken-down vocal arrangement upon y'all once again (like a bad penny, it just keeps coming back), but I just love what Steve added. He has some of the finest ears I've ever encountered! Kirk

SK, regarding "Confirmation" and "I Love You" - you are amazing my friend!

That was fantastic Dave!

Dave - that was great! You have a wonderful "laid-back" style on this tune - I really dig the heck out of your playing!! Kirk

Hey Mark, No effects other than reverb. Each track is at least doubled - in some cases tripled or quadrupled. I like a "big" sound - within reason of course. The arrangement varies from simple 4 part harmony to upwards of 10 parts in some places. Thanks for your comments! Kirk

Thank you everyone for the kind words. Let me reiterate that I've been more than humbled by all of your contributions! Hey Dave - yes, for better or worse, every voice in that recording is mine. Thanks again!! Kirk

Thanks so much Linwood. You've posted so much great stuff here I wouldn't know where to start!

Thank you Steve. I'm really embarrassed about posting something I did around 7 years ago when you manage to turn out phenomenal arrangements on a daily basis!! I look forward to contributing new stuff when life settles down a bit. In the mean time, keep your inspiring stuff coming!

I've avoided posting this link since this arrangement appears on one of the KC Comp CDs. However, I decided to go ahead and post it for three reasons: 1) It has an intro that I edited from the comp version in the interest of track length. 2) I feel awful about the fact that I haven't had time to contribute to this great thread thus far. 3) SK asked me to post it, and Steve is THE MAN!! This is a vocal arrangement I did for the Beatles's "Here, There and Everywhere": http://www.remainsmusic.com/audio/hte.mp3
