Another fabulous geography lesson in a fab song.
GREAT band.
I liked it all though not overly keen on the bvox when the not quite double your own.


Cheers

Lovely Bob,

I love your storytelling lyrics and clean crisp acoustic fingerpicking.

Excellent, kind regards.

Hi Bob and Joliz,

As always, the lyrics are sublime, as is the guitar playing and, of course, both of your vocals.
It's almost a shame the song ends...

Rob,

Thanks from both of us for the kind review.

In this song, I am referring to the Berkley historic district in Norfolk.

Beautiful. The guitar playing takes it "over the top". The singing, both of you, is excellent and moving. The lyrics are evocative, as always from you. You write and produce so many songs, yet they are all different, and I am yet to be bored by any one of them. Well done, the both of you.

Bob & Joliz

No one brings words to life like you do. Your songs all have a story, and you turn that story into a movie, indelibly etched in my memory. Words are just tools with which to communicate. Your communications rise high above almost al;l others. Your music speaks to me and inspires me to do better.

Hi Joliz and Bob,
You've produced a really nice song.
It sounds really good.
However, I would have liked Joliz to sing solo as well.
Great work in any case.

Hi, Bob.

Once again, I'm reminded how good you are with words. You've got interesting things to say, and they feel natural.

Excellent song. It pulls me into the world and gives me the feels for time and place I've never been to.

Lovely guitar playing as well.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
