That's so cool, Ray. Got my YT notice this morning that this gem was uploaded. Who IS this person you're singing to? Apparently they don't get it. GO AWAY!!! This is a finely polished production. Man, it says a lot of good things about you that you are one of the most sought-after ears for getting advice, and yet take the advice of others to improve your own so well. Well done, man.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Ray,
Sounds good all polished! Fun video. The only complaint is, you holding that Elvis mic way too gently. Song calls it to grab it like it's the last piece of bread that thugs are trying to get from you.

Great job! Thank you for sharing
Misha.

Thanks Marty,
I need other ears - I can't tell what sounds good in my own stuff.
I'm pleased you like it & caught on about the sideways looks.

I can't manage the ragged edges I should have for a decent punk sound...I'll get there eventually.
I can't grab the "mic": it's a cheap LED lamp with a guitar, arms & legs made of pot metal. If I were more aggressive with it I suspect it'd break.

This is great! We loved how you’d look to your right some of the times you were singing go away and don’t go.

And the peeping out from behind the stand. And the handclaps and finger snaps. And the look on your face when you’d sing “leave me!” And the hourglass.

Janice said that the ending sign of “Warning: Indecisive” is one that she can truly relate to. wink

Great song, production and video, Ray!

Humorous bits in your video. When you are standing with the mic in your hand reminds me of me on karaoke nights. Ha! Love your song.
