I decided to just use the BIAB tracks and not add any additional guitar or keys and see how it stands up on its own. I recently found a note book full of songs I wrote over 30 years ago so now BIAB is a quick way to preserver these before I completely forget them.
This is one of the first songs I ever wrote back in 1981. I had never recorded it before so I'm glad I found the lyrics. BIAB did justice to it.

HI Again, Jeff ...

Nice song ... very reminiscent of the eras. Thought I (Alan) was back in Germany for a few minutes (lived there much of the 70's and 80's). Soft Pop-Rock was really popular then ... and we still like it. Your GF did a nice job with the lyric and you performed it nicely. Best to you ...

Hi Jeff,
Good choice of instruments and mix. It would be good to list them and the lyrics as well. You have a nice smooth voice and I enjoyed the listen.

Another nice one, Jeff.

Reminded me of Jesse Colin Young (haven't thought of that name in a long time)....

Nice retro feel (that was my era)!! Like Floyd said, JC Young comes to mind. Also America, Bread, etc. Very nice music, rich with emotion and texture. Enjoyed!! Take care. Greg
