There is a Rock - PG Music Forums

Well...me and the kids (Hayden and Natalie) are still at it...I'm happy to announce that they have given their virtual hearts to Jesus and decided to become gospel singers...so Hayden picked out a song I wrote forty-some years ago to share and the trio of Hayden and Natalie and Hayden (I'm going to hire a third member as soon as I can afford them...maybe Kevin...I like Kevin).
Anyway a simple song, a simple message and a complicated recording session has produced this...I hope you all like it...Dan

Ron...it's really kind of fun and I love to hear other voices (other than mine) sing the songs even if they aren't actual people...but I do get my way (a producer's dream come true)...thanks...Dan

Dan, great use of those synth voices, they sound real!
Nice harmonies also.
A perfect backing band and mix.
You are a multi-talented musician my friend!

Really nice Dan.

This is a very pleasant production for sure.

Seems like you are having fun with the kids!!

Nice, Dan.
Everything work just as it should. Very pleasant tracks.
The kids sound good.
Good mix.

Good write. Simple. Solid.

Simple but effective arrangement that works very well.
Good use of the kids, I especially love these harmonies.
Even if you don't sing, the vocal arrangement says "Dan Simmons".
You can't hide it

Brain...wow!...that is one of the best comments I've probably ever gotten...thank you...Dan

Sounds perfect to me, Dan, I think you have those kids well under control!

Excellent song too of course, I always enjoy listening to your music.

Wow, Dan. Everyone worries that synth will take over, but you have converted them. AND you have a great trio to help you spread the word. Nice. Man, you are already so good at working them into a wonderful gospel group. Love the song, and your knowledge and use of harmony. Superb.
