Pete, would you think about re-recording the untitled song? I can’t stop thinking about it since you posted this. I have a title in my mind for it and it’s called….It’s You.

Those words just flow with love and romance sound of the song. 🙏

Hi Brian- I am hoping to uncover a rough mix of the song one day. It kills me that I can't ever recall the title.

The Fourth Of July solo is easily my favorite solo of yours. It fits the song perfectly and builds into a rising, gritty exit throwing you into the last chorus. Just awesome.

And you dialed up one hell of a song. The one thing great musicians love more than anything else, is to have a beautiful piece of work to hang their art on. You supply that in spades Pete!

Love that film clip Pete. And the guitar goes: "Chonk Chonk Chonk!"

Hi Peter- Glad you dug the clip. Brendan is a great guitarist. He really has the touch. And Russ dialed up a great tone.

Thanks again for sharing this Pete.

You hinted a while back that the Fourth of July solo was special. Now we know some of that story.

Still brings a tear to my eye. It is so great.

Hope you guys have a great Independence Day.
