"It's Alright with Me"

I planned it so that I'd do "It's Alright with Me" to-day because it's Rod Argent's birthday and (if I remember correctly), aside from a song that he wrote for the Bluetones (Jim Rodford's group), this is the first song he wrote.

I'm fairly certain that last time I recorded this, I had two guitar tracks.  One with just that melodic line and the other with the chords.  This time, I did all the guitar parts in one track.  It took awhile to record (something like four or five takes), same for the bass part.  It's not that they're difficult to play or that I don't remember the parts; I guess it's just that haven't played them for so long.

I'm still not sure if the rhythm of the guitar chords is right, but I could probably say that for every song I've recorded for this project.
