That does amuse me. I have absolutely no problems with the 3 sets of EBCF's I've owned.

BTW, we only do FB if someone hollers it to be funny. "OK, you asked for it".

I never liked the thick strings on pop music either - but I think it just depends on the song and how they are integrated. They can either be lush... or schlocky. I even like schlocky depending on the song.
(once again - love the way the bass sounds)

I used to do that one-including the high note at the end-in the mid 70s.
What I don't like is the strings doubling the melody. Very "bubble gum-y" to me.
EDIT: What was Jim Webb smoking??
EDIT 2: decided to sing along with it today. Couldn't remember the words for spit.
Still hit all the notes.

Maybe Cobalt rounds. No way the ultra smooth Cobalt Flats will work.

Flats? C'mon guys, it's early, can't we talk about Rounds?
Exactly. Flats will be talked about during the Early Bird Special.

I love where it gets 'groovy'/uptempo. Very Kojak.
check this shît out (5:02) -
BTW, when we/I did it our instrumentation was organ(double keyboard Yamaha), trumpet doubling ELKA string ensemble, drums, and me and my 67 NR THUNDERBIRD. Just remembered-the only other voices on it was 4 part harmony on the last note.
For 4 guys we sounded almost like a quartet.

Nah. By that time I'll be taking a nap.
What, no Freebird of Gimmie Three Steps...?
Been listening bit more to LS recently and much to my surprise, so is my acoustic-guitar duo singing partner. She showed up my place Sunday, asking Can we do Simple Man ? So we're working on a simplified version. Beautiful song.
My sense of humor... I have good days and... other days.
Seasons in the Sun brings back some great memories for me. I was in the 9th grade when it came out and my best friend and I took a road trip from Boulder Colorado to Juarez Mexico with his parents. I'll never forget his parents just dropping us off at a large market in the middle of Juarez and saying be back here by 6:00. Two freshman boys in the middle of a pretty seedy city with no adult supervision, no phones, no ability to read or speak the local language and about $100 cash in each of our pockets - what could possibly go wrong!
Anyway, that sappy Terry Jacks song must have played on the AM radio every third song for the entire road trip. It alternated with two other equally sappy songs...
To this day I cringe when I hear any of them.
Yep, doing my morning rounds at the beach flats....
While I may not agree* with y'all's opinion, I heartily endorse your choice of spokeslady. She be finer than frog hair.
