Howard,

Welcome to the Showcase. A nice first post.

A very pleasant listen. Nice arrangement and pleasant vocals. The chorus reminded me of a sound similar to Steve Gillette's "A Little Warmth".

Interesting collaborations - how did you hook up with all those people?

Enjoyed it.

floyd

You folks did a great job. Wonderful post. I really enjoyed it.

Hi floyd,

Thanks for the feedback. You have an amazing catalog.

There are quite a few collaboration sites online. Some good, some bad and some we won't even mention. Signed up to a few, most are free. The one that worked the best for me is Kompoz http://www.kompoz.com/music/home

There is some amazing talent out there willing to help. RB and BIAB are great, but the live human touch is still the ultimate.

Check it out. Keep in touch.

Happy New Year
Howard

Hi David,

Thanks for the feedback.

Happy New Year
Howard

Excellent collaboration. Loved the vocal and lyric. Hear a little James Taylor there

Hi Howard. Like everything here.
The rich harmonies are a big plus.
Kompoz looks very interesting.
Cheers.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the comment. Wasn't thinking Taylor when I wrote it. Words and melody originally written in 5 minutes as part of a songwriter competition.

You have an amazing catalog. Been listening for half an hour. Can't leave.

Happy New Year
Howard

Hi Richard,

Harmonies and dynamics has always been my thing. Loud all the time is just not where I'm at.

You certainly have a gift for lyrics. Been listening and enjoying your songs.

Best wishes for a healthy and happy new year.
Howard

Nice song, very well sung and played.

Sergio

Cool song, really like the sound and arrangement.
Enjoyed.

Kenny

Thanks Sergio. Appreciate the feedback.

Howard

Thanks Kenny.

Bob

I love a good collaboration - thank you for sharing where they came from!

You guys did a great job - I especially like the lead vocal & harmony

This is today's Hot Forum Topic!

Thanks Bob. Appreciate the feedback.

The Leonard tribute is awesome.

Howard

Thank you Callie.

Happy New Year

Nice song, and cool international collab!! Song has a nice vibe and your vocals are heartfelt and natural. Good blend of BIAB and some live instruments. Nicely done!! Keep posting! Take care. Greg

Thank you Greg. Appreciate the feedback.

Hi, Howard.

To steal other people's adjectives, it was a pleasant listen.

30 years to finish off a song - impressive! I'd have given up after 15!

Hi David,

But it only took 5 minutes to write.
Thanks for the feedback.
Have to go work on my synSinger impression now. Hope I can nail it in less than 15 years!

Howard

Hi Howard.
Welcome to the forum. What a great first post. Isn't the internet amazing for these collaborations that are possible now? I have been trying out Bandhub, which is fun but nowhere near the quality of this song. Well done.

Hi Joanne,

Modern technology is truly amazing. There is so much musician resources available out there. Tried Bandhub as well, but it's not quite what I'm looking for. I really got lucky with Kompoz.

Thank you for the feedback.

Keep making music.

Howard

Nice first post. Hope to hear many more from you. you guys were able to pull off an excellent collaboration. That's not always an easy task. Enjoyed my listen.

Charlie

Thanks for feedback Charlie. Amazing what can be accomplished when you find the right collaborators.

Happy New Year

+1! Welcome to the forum!

Oh yeah! Great collab and very illustrative of the power of the internet.

Nice production on the song. It sounds very good on the monitors.

Welcome aboard and thanks for sharing!

Howard,
Very pretty - nice tune, catchy chorus, pleasant harmonies.

Peter

Thanks Peter. Appreciated the feedback.

Wow. Nice work. Great first post. Let's hear more.

Bob

We have some really talented folks here and it appears you will fit right in as well. Welcome to the forum.

I love the technology that lets us collaborate across the world or across town. Between Band in a Box and the internet, there's nothing that can't be done and done well.

I like the song and the easy country rock feel it has. It would have been cool to have the lyrics posted as well since there are writers here, myself included, who like to read the lyrics.

Nice production chops in there too.

Nice to be here. Thanks for the feedback. You have an impressive catalog.
