Lots to like about that. The vocals sit in the mix in a really perfect balance.
An excellent production.

Very cool, Paul. Super courage, man. First post that is out of your wheelhouse. If you didn't say that, I'd think you lived with this style your whole life. I always loved this kind of song, and you did an wonderful job creating and presenting it. I particularly liked the changes and the vocal --very well sung with perfect harmony. YES! A good wine commercial, but so much better than that.

Paul, an outstanding first post.
IMHO this is not out of your wheelhouse.
Great arrangement
Super vocal and sax
Great mix
This sounds like a last call song
You should do more like this.

Hi, Paul ...
Welcome to this great forum.
This is my kind of music! What a great composition - and a splendid vocal presentation. Great band and arrangement. This is my 2nd listen. I couldn't do just one - and this is a whole lot better than Lays Potato Chips!
Hope to hear much more from you. This is a real treat.
Wishing you the best,
Alan
