I couldn't resist it! The filter, I mean 😃...Title track to my 2015 album. I got the album professionally mastered and it sounds great on the speakers the mastering engineer used, no doubt. And pretty good on a decent stereo, too. Perhaps not so good on a phone, though. These days, small speakers on devices would undoubtedly be taken into consideration but back then I heard it said that to produce sound to be played on the best possible system and leave the crappy speakers to take any blame was an ideal worth striving for. Which didn't/doesn't make sense, as even Bob Dylan would make sure a mix sounded good on a car stereo before okaying it, and the Beatles always chose the mix which sounded best on a typical small mono record player to release, as that was what most people listened to in the sixties. Oh well, if anyone wants to download the album and listen to it on a stereo they still can. Ron's cello on the studio version still makes it the best version.
