Thanks Uncle John...

Thanks for the memories, Clock. I remember taking car vacations like that across the USA, some 10-15 years later. Interesting to note, there were no obese people in this film, and everyone seemed to be dressed pretty nicely. How far we've "progressed" since then. Good soundtrack.

Yeah,  I agree. One of your best if not the best.   Sounds great.  Clarity.  Take the compliments, Clock.  

I worked in a Standard Station from 67-68 that looked much like that one.   Remember riding in the back of a station wagon like one shown.   Later my dad had a 55 Chev wagon.  It was getting on in years by the time we had it.

Nicely done Mr Clock. Interesting film and great sound track.

Comment by Clock The Wolf on August 11, 2012 at 5:09pm

I dunno... this one's tuned AEA. The last one may have been GCE, ADF# or BDG. DGD and GCG are interesting alternatives to DAD and GDG.

Your style does work well with moving vehicals and anything western. I thought the last one had a little eastern sound could just be the tuning or Clocks a wizzard. I for got which tunings sound like eastern music?
