Turns a tear to a waterfall But hey hey Mr Caulfield where do we go from here Hey hey Mr Caulfield Who was said they cant be broken Who was it said they never lied Well truer words were never spoken in alibi Sarcastic with familiar faces he's spastic on a can of beer He fears you'll never see the traces of him being here Lacks the backbone for a fight Makes a million overnight Shady Amy said it first could be better cant be worse But hey hey Mr Caulfield where do we go from here Hey hey Mr. Caulfield Hey Mr. Caulfield Hey Mr. Caulfield

Excellent song! Good writing and I like your vocal too.
Loved hearing the pedal steel in there, and can't go wrong with Marty as part of the team.
Enjoyed!

Bill, This one has a 60's sound to my ears. I liked the lyrics and the vocal and harmonies are very well done. As far as I know you are only one of three to ever post something here with live steel (myself included). Welcome to the club! I just finished reading the Buddy Emmons biography by Steve Fishell. Highly recommended. I enjoyed the song, Tom

Super nicely constructed, hook-filled gem. Don't see an accordion in the credits, but something that sounds like an accordion really sets a cool harmonic table. Really nicely arranged vocals, too. Hearing a little distortion in the thicker harmony lines, nothing catastrophic. Nice one!

Hi Bill,
Great song with a full soundstage. Love the story in the lyric and your vocal sells them quite nicely.
I totally enjoyed my listen. Great stuff! Can't go wrong with Marty lending his expertise!
Take care,
Alan

Having Marty on board is always good - for any song  Your vocals have a nice 60's sound, the band has a nice 70's sound, which works quite well. Good work from all involved ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

My file for this cool song is called Hey, Mr. Bill. Hats off to anyone thinking of SNL. Bill, what a terrific song referring to a terrific, iconic book. Man, if Salinger would allow the movie production, this would be a great theme song. Back in the 60s I wrote one called Catch Her In The Eye. You've done so many cool pedal steel tracks on my songs, and I really enjoyed playing on many of your cover songs on YT, but I am also looking forward to some of the collab ideas we have cooking.

Hi, Bill. Tuneful and catchy - very '60s. Vocals and strings are standouts for me.

Really nice production on this song. Love the keyboard and great vocals, too. Really enjoyed it

Bill and Marty, you did a bang-up job on this song, everything sounds great.
I liked the vocal and lyrics a lot.
Great mix.
This does have the sound of a late 1960s song - great job on that.

Enjoyed! Thanks Dave we will be doing more Very nice and melodic with a good lyric too
Vic Thanks, I've had this for a long time but it didnt sound right until I did the steel Bill, This one has a 60's sound to my ears. I liked the lyrics and the vocal and harmonies are very well done. As far as I know you are only one of three to ever post something here with live steel (myself included). Welcome to the club! I just finished reading the Buddy Emmons biography by Steve Fishell. Highly recommended. I enjoyed the song, Tom Thanks Tommy, I did a whole "album" (do they still call them that?) playing steel with Marty. This one is from that project. Gotta get that Emmons book and find out all the secrets. Super nicely constructed, hook-filled gem. Don't see an accordion in the credits, but something that sounds like an accordion really sets a cool harmonic table. Really nicely arranged vocals, too. Hearing a little distortion in the thicker harmony lines, nothing catastrophic. Nice one! Thanks Ron. Good eye. Yes there is accordion there. It is a BnB real track but the memo is not showing which one. It took lots of regenerating to get it where I wanted it. The strings are Native Instruments samples. Hi Bill,
Great song with a full soundstage. Love the story in the lyric and your vocal sells them quite nicely.
I totally enjoyed my listen. Great stuff! Can't go wrong with Marty lending his expertise!
Take care,
Alan Thanks Alan, We have been working on a few more since Marty has been convalescing. I live nearby so it's easier than posting files Very nice, all the way around...excellent production and performances..enjoyed my listen! Thanks Tano. It was quite a mix of sound sources. Having Marty on board is always good - for any song Your vocals have a nice 60's sound, the band has a nice 70's sound, which works quite well. Good work from all involved Thanks B.D. I've been playing since the 60's so why change now. Marty and I have been jamming for 30 years or so. It's telepathy now Hi, Bill. Tuneful and catchy - very '60s. Vocals and strings are standouts for me. Thanks David Those Native Instruments samples are great especially on strings Really nice production on this song. Love the keyboard and great vocals, too. Really enjoyed it Thanks, I hope to do a few more Bill and Marty, you did a bang-up job on this song, everything sounds great.
I liked the vocal and lyrics a lot.
Great mix.
This does have the sound of a late 1960s song - great job on that. Thanks Mario. You always give a great encouraging review.
