Sonny,
Happy anniversary. 47 years, Wow!
Yep, I'm glad I taught myself to play guitar and piano when I was a teen. It has been a constant companion over the years, but it hasn't all been easy. I'm still learning.
Glad you liked the song.

Steve,
Thanks. I'm so glad to hear from you. I hope all is well. There's just so much to do and so little time for songwriting and recording.


Ice,
I agree. Songwriting has to come from feelings and experience. Even fantasies need to emerge from some bit of truth or emotion.
Interesting idea about panning the piano by pitch. I've never heard that trick. In this case, I have two piano tracks. I'm playing the lead in left channel and BB generated the right channel.
About the vocals, background vocals are always the hardest part for me. I used the TC Helicon harmonizer that comes with BB/RB. I just wanted it to be crisp and perfect this time.
