Hi David!!

Thanks for that!! It was a manual thing.  I had this idea to do it, when 
Translator, played the song 
to me on his 12 string acoustic.  Then, when it came to recording the track, I 
thought, I could do 
an octave run on the bass guitar, and follow the same riff on the electric 
guitars and Hammond.  The 
only things that arn't following the bass exedra, are the drums, and drum loop.

Actually, the electric guitars come up in volume just after the vocal finishes 
at the end of the 
verse, and go down again, when the piano part comes in.  Hooray, for 
"automation snapshots!!"
