Greg,
You are SUCH a fine writer! In a just world, you would be a star (or, at the very least, RICH!).
Your productions get tighter with each new offering. Your vocals - which have always been strong - get more and more "in the pocket".
But the real star here is MELODY. It sometimes seems a "lost art". You continually hit the mark - in spades. This has all the earmarks of those great AM hits in the golden era of AM radio - when "catchy was king"... The Turtles! The Grass Roots! Tommy James and the Shondells..."Red Rubber Ball", "Green Tambourine"... Pure Ear Candy.
Awesome.
