A little better here - I'm still no great singer, but at least my vocal monitor isn't introducing delay and making it impossible to sing straight - now it's all operator error. LOL
Rock on,

By The Garage Lights 5 - three new vocal tracks and levels adjusted across tracks
http://www.whizzyrds.com/By_The_Garage_Lights_5.mp3
I just spent another three hours on this, and it's a lot better. Not perfect, but better.

By The Garage Lights 4 - Early Vocals & Updated Sax Track
I just spent about 3 hours tweaking the sax and laying in vocals.
I haven't done a lot of singing...except maybe in the shower or along with Elvis in the truck, maybe a little with the Beatles as a teenager, but not much public. I'm still getting used to the equipment and how different my recorded voice sounds as compared to what I hear by bone conduction (which is how most of us hear ourselves speak...or sing). It's quite a difference. I'm using Robin Gibb's trick of holding my hand alongside my face to my ear, and working on how far the mic should be from my mouth.
Here's the best of five takes, no written lyrics, but a general outline.

By The Garage Lights 3 - Audacity Evolution
This MUCH cleaner version was recorded in Audacity 1.3 Beta in multiple separate tracks. The drum track was created using the Pocket Drum Pad app for Android with my HTC Amaze phone.
Jon Ross laid down the guitar track after the drums were done.
I added the tenor sax last.
The tracks have all been cleaned of background noise and amplification levels adjusted to that all the instruments blend just right.
The result is nearly six minutes of smooth bliss. Enjoy:
