                      Choose your 'Sundown' ( 'Hurry On', that is ), News, Music & more!!!

Hello friends,
Two days ago, it was my pleasure to be joined by my wife in our studio!!  
Some of you may be familiar with my wife, Dr. Maria Ramundo, via the artwork on the Sloterdijk '4th Beast' CD, Hawkwind Summer Camp, 'School Daze' UK visit, 2003 etc. Although she is inspiring to me, she has until now remained on the 'other side of the microphone', taping shows, taking photos and the like. When she knocked on the studio door and I suggested that she add a tambourine track to  
'Hurry on Sundown', I honestly never expected her to actually do it. Next thing I knew she had headphones on, and I was leaving the room ( at her request), having cued the track to begin about 30 seconds after I slipped out. I soon heard her tapping away, and she continued to do so until the end of the track. Had I finally and successfully committed my wife to tape? "Yes"!
  
Next day, I set about mixing down the track. It was really just a practice, but with Maria's tambourine firmly entrenched in the mix, I decided to press on. Now, many of you may well know, that I haven't been playing much electric or lead guitar these days, at least not in the same fashion as I had been; well here is some new electric lead playing to compliment Maria's participation.  
  
Here's where you come in!!!!!!
Having played the track several times through, I ended up with 2 working mixes. I am asking you,
the listener to help determine which is the better mix. It's not just about mixing per se', but each version features a different '2nd lead guitar track'. You'll find both versions posted at:
http://theoneeyedbishops.iuma.com as 'Hurry on Sundown' demos 1&2.                               Once you've listened to both versions, please leave a note at the 'comments' section of the website.  
I'll check back and see what people think, then ultimately remove the losing track from the playlist.
  
Additionally, as I have done in the past, I continue to make demo & live versions of the songs I'm working on freely available to people who are interested in or support my music. Sometimes these tunes remain on the site for a long time, other times I replace them relatively quickly.
For those of you, who might be keen, I have also posted a demo of the Keith Colley tune;
'Bird Doggin', most notably recorded by Gene Vincent in the 1960's.
