Love the intro and the title made me chuckle.

What did you do to the bass at 2:06? It pops more here. In a good way.

solid write and the chorus works really well.

You just have to love that baritone guitar

Great song!

A nicely written and performed song. Caught bit of Dylan in the bass and acoustic.

Good stuff.

Lawrence,

Thanks. Good ear - I pumped the volume on the bass a bit to give it some additional push.

Yeah! You had me hooked right from the intro with that tremolo guitar, such a great sound!
Good song, enjoyed the listen!

Another great one Bob. You have such a distinct artistic sound.

There are a lot of memorable hooks int his song, especially those guitar parts.

Excellent use of effects--but not overuse. Well done!

Really enjoyed this, Bob.

It has a nice "pop-y, peppy rhythm" to it that works well. Catchy. A good vehicle for your thoughtful lyrics.

Nice instrumentation. Good mix. I really like your vocal in this - it has a little bit different sound than anything previous... a clarity and "presence" - excellent.

Bob, I also smiled at the title. Your voice sounds great on this one. The tremolo infused baritone guitar works like a charm. Good arrangement and mix. I really enjoyed the feel of this. Tom

Hey Bob,

Very cool. I enjoyed it a lot... Well except for that baritone tremolo guitar! What were you thinking there? HaHaHa grin

Great Job!

This is a really creative and effective mix of RT's. That, the write and the performance with the aforementioned effects all add up to a most enjoyable listen. Like everybody we thought the baritone guitar worked big time.

Enjoyed it!

Hi Bob.
Found the whole song fresh and interesting.
Held my attention from the very start/title. Cheers.

Hi Bob,

Like everyone else, we were immediately hooked by the baritone guitar. It's not a sing in which we expect to hear it - but it works! Wish the bass line was just a bit more up front. But, this is a cool song from you. We liked it - more than a little bit! best t you,

Alan & Di

Nice one Bob (Dylan), Good lyrics
Posted By: Noel96 Re: Little Bird You're So Fly - 04/05/17 07:06 AM
Hi Bob,

It's a great arrangement that you have put together here... very inventive. The baritone guitar is an excellent choice. I also found it interesting how you used the word "fly". I've never come across it in this sense before.

Here in Australia (at least, my part of Australia), 'fly' is used either as a noun (as in 'the fly buzzed around') or a verb (as in 'he set out to fly around the world') but not as an adjective in the way that your title uses the word. That led me on a bit of a journey. When I consulted the complete Oxford dictionary, I discovered that 'fly' (the adjective) has been around since the early 1800s and means nimble, clever, dexterous, etc. Now I understand!

Thanks for the lesson smile

All the best,
Noel

This is a great tune, Bob! Feels trite to single out that baritone guitar again but it's really phenomenal. Definitely not something I would've expected to hear but it gives the whole tune a dusty, Neil Young-ish feel -- perfect backdrop for your excellent lyric write.
Posted By: rsdean Re: Little Bird You're So Fly - 04/06/17 04:02 PM

Hi, Bob !


You are a master when it

baritone guitar (if it was
