This must be it ;-) Nicely done.

Awesome country tune. A Two-steppin beauty... Excellent vocal and backtrack. Pretty cool guitar break in there as well

Excellent country song. Good foot tapper

Brad,

A great toe-tappin' feel projects so well from this song.

The fiddle colors everything just so well.

Excellent.

Brad, I like the feel of this one. Great guitar break. The lyrics threw me a bit but the twist in the last verse about the first breath made it clear. Good editing on the fiddle and steel. I enjoyed it, Tom

Brad, this feels like we just stepped into a Texas club and heard a Western Swing band that’s been doing the swing thing for some time.

Good write, performances and mix.

You’ve got the whole package going here!

Sounds top notch on our monitors.

Dear "Biglad"...

I never even knew that Western Swing existed until about five years ago when I watched a YouTube video featuring the late Glen Campbell singing "Rose of San Antone" with Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. Let me tell you, I fell in love with it instantly.

Everything about your song, "My Little Secret" is an absolute joy to listen to. Your singing brings out all the sweetness of your lyrics. I liked especially, "I wanna hear her whisper / I love you in my ear." That's just pure, heartfelt, truth-telling tenderness.

The rest of the lyrics are, to my ears, surprisingly intimate for such a toe-tappin', upbeat tune. If I were a woman it would be easy to imagine that you were singing the song only for me.

Thank you for sharing your "little secret," "Biglad"!

Sincerely,

LOREN

Nicely put together, Brad. Good job on the fiddles - and the guitar - and everything else...

Clever twist.

Well sung.

Good swing...
