I wanted to be the first to listen to it and give an opinion!!! I see you had a lot of fun with this track! It's fresh, it's pleasant and I like the electric organ. Nice track, Mario!
I wish you and your new girlfriend a great weekend.

Cool vibe Mario - I really like that it's 'real' and 'you' all over it,
'out of your comfort zone' is when results happen - great stuff!!

Getting out of your comfort zone is definitely how you find growth and a lot of cool stuff - but it's a lot easier said than done. Congrats on putting together a fun tune and getting it out in the world!

Oh my...Deflated??? Nice job taking this to the edge and back again. Really tasty, biting guitar work and perfect vocals for the song. Super band and mix, too.

I wish you and your new girlfriend a great weekend. Thanx for the very nice review. Yes I did have a lot of fun with this song but no girlfriend for me. I've been married to long for that!

Cool groovy backing band, and guitar licks. Thanx Elliott. I had a hard time getting that guitar track down. My arthritic hands are giving me problems so I'm glad you liked it.

Congrats on putting together a fun tune and getting it out in the world! Thanx for listening and commenting, I appreciate it. Posting songs that are out of my comfort zone is the scary part. Plus I'm really not a good singer.

Comfort zones are overrated! Thanx Ron. I did have a problem laying down that guitar track as my arthritic fretting hand is giving me problems. Also me and "perfect vocal" is an oxymoron.

Fun song, Mario! Nice job on the guitar.
Read your comments on arthritis, one of the joys of getting old I guess! I struggle with that sometimes too.
