    I was in a Billy Gibbons mood this week and so I recorded one of my favs from the ZZ Top Antenna album.

    Pincushion - Love the lyrics too!
    Here's my first mix.
    Hows it sound so far?

    For some reason, I can't play your file on my computer...

    Cabo,
    It's a variable bitrate mp3.
    Maybe that is causing some sort of problem?

    It may not stream but it may download and play fine.

    I'll create a fixed bitrate mp3 tommorow and see if that helps.

    That might just be the problem. Thanks, I'll check back tomorrow.

    Hey Cabo, was it quicktime?

    Winamp and Windows Media player, play it just fine.

    The thing is that I can only open your page if the Quicktime plug-in is set as default for streaming audio files but it can't play the file. When I try to download your file, it tells me that I need to dish out cash for Quicktime Pro to be able to do that... Weird.

    I just uploaded a new 192kps fixed bit mp3 for those having trouble with the previous variable bit rate mp3.

    That's more like it! It's pretty close to the original. You might want to work on your timing on the first solo but the tone and feel is spot on if you ask me. I'm a huge fan of Billy Gibbons' playing, it's great to see that I'm not alone...

    Glad you got it to play.

    I either have a drummer that is behind the beat on the snare or I have a guitar player that is rushing the beat.

    Oh wait, I am the drummer and guitar player, must be me. :0

    I always tend to rush the beat when playing guitar.

    Bad habit.
