You are one of my heroes!! Take care. Greg


Thank you Greg,

I always appreciate and greatly respect what you have to say.

waiting for your next one

Way to go. This is truly a great song and performance. You made all the right choices in your arrangement. Vocals and BGV's are so good. Enjoyed this from start to finish.

I agree with others hearing a Henley vibe in this song. This song has that WoW factor that only comes when everything falls into place as it should...

Bravo, Kenny! Immediately, the first thing I noticed here is the mixing job. It's a fantastically catchy tune, and your vocal performance is incredible - but with that mixing job, this honestly sounds like it could be on the radio. I wouldn't bat an eyelash hearing it among the top pop songs right now. It sounds extremely crisp and polished.

Great work, and thanks for sharing this with us smile

What a fantastic job. Can't wait to hear the next one. I don't even mind that there's no Side B this time! You're right, this song should not be distracted from and really shines on its own anyways.


Thanks Ember,

I always appreciate your listen and kind words

this song is like a snowflake.
Simply beautiful, and beautifully simple.
I'm not saying it could be on the radio.
I'm saying it SHOULD be on the radio.
Don Henley would be proud of this.
And so should you :-)

BRAVO!!!

Well fj's review was pretty much the equivalent of setting the piano on fire and walking off the stage. smile

There is really nothing much left to say other than we agree with every accolade this production has received.

We've listened to it on three different sound systems and it just seems to get better and better.

It's stunningly beautiful. Heartfelt writing and lovingly sung.

J&B

Edit: Janice commented that it reminds her of Tom Petty’s “Echo” album.

The Don Henley reference was very appropriate. I would put it in the same ballpark and that is high praise. Great work Kenny.

No need for a B side, that's for sure.

Clear mix, great vocals, brilliant lyrics.

This is excellent from start to finish.

As a few other folks said: "WOW!"

Wishing you success with this. You and the song are powerful forces to the music scene.

"I don't wanna be a great sound engineer or producer tho."

Too late Kenny, you're already there!! This sounds like a hit to me! You did an excellent job on this all the way around! Vocals, write and production! Two thumbs up! Thanks, Torrey
