Dean,

I just listened to this. You da MAN! You are without a doubt the most talented (in multiple directions) jazz musician I've ever known! You strike me as the kind of guy who could take any chord pattern and come up with countless arrangements and never duplicate any of them!

What you are asking for here, however, is a bit different than the instrumental masterpieces you are so good at creating. Here's my unqualified opinion, feel free to disagree with it.

I think if you strip this down to bare bones so the singer has some room to play with it, you'll get more takers. You can always embellish the empty spots later after you hear what the vocalist came up with.

As I listened with an ear of how to sing along, my gut feeling was that it almost works as an instrumental.. there's enough going on already that a singer would be dealing with space constraints.. and that doesn't lend itself to playful experimentation.

By starting with a bare-bones progression, any vocalist would have maximum leeway to do whatever they want... and then your irrefutable genius level skills at arranging can take it from there.

Pat,

Thank you for those over-the-top, utterly unrealistic compliments and, of greater importance, the valuable suggestions. You may be on to something.

Your point is well taken. There is a lot going on and I was going to do the trimming back after I got the vocal. Your idea makes sense but it's coming out of your genius head and whether or not it is the real key to the cure ...

...? I think I'll see if anyone responds with a "yes" before it drops out of sight. I'm not too optimistic.

But thanks for your ideas. They're always on - or at least near - the money.

Guenter,

So great to hear from you again. I hope all is well in the Germany of today:

Heroes of immigrants. Villains of Volkswagen. Wie wird eine Person sollte unter diesen Umständen fühlen? One week your Angela is tyrannizing Greece (true, they dug their own grave), the next she is showcasing Germany as the moral standard against which other countries - you know who I mean - build barbed wire fences.

Humans are angels and devils at the same time and if the above doesn't prove it, nothing will. And I cannot understand why this catastrophe is considered a "European problem?" Doesn't all of humanity bear the responsibility?

Well, I don't know how I got on the topic other than that's all we hear on the news these days.

Tschuss, man - and thank you for the kind words. I'm looking forward your videos.

Dean
