Gary,

Thanks so much for that little quote from my previous song post! It made my day! It's great to hear you posting a tune again! I was just thinking the other day about how I had not seen anything lately! Your song is a beautiful piece of music telling a touching tale! This song should touch the heart of any listener! I enjoyed it! Thanks, Torrey

Gary,
Good tune with a good dose of nostalgia and humor (I hope I got that right smile ). Nicely laid piano and very cool lyrics.
Listens very well! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

P.S. Overproducing.... yep, that is my nemesis. Thank you for reminding me of that.

Hi Torrey.

Your "little quote" was a lightbulb moment for me which has re-ignited my passion for this weird artform known as songwriting . For that I thank you.
Your quote reminded me of why I like this forum so much. I take away (steal) a little piece of everyone's posted song to reassemble into my own song writing jig-saw puzzle. Much of the music posted here is fresh, stimulating and interesting unlike the domination of the mainstream media by bland cookie cutter Hip-Hop. Hence , increasingly I get my music fix right here.

Cool tune super vocal. Loved the lyric. Nothing better than going home and revisiting old memories of friends and experiences. Well done

That was a nice listen!

The piano is a great focal point for this song.

Enjoyed the nostalgic story in the the lyrics. Good melody.

Gary,

Love the piano in the opening; captures the ear straightaway. The vocal seems perhaps a bit too forward; with a bit of static introduced in the recording each time the vocal kicks in. I might look to soften and sit them back just a tad. The song is solid otherwise—really nice write and the melody is engaging. Good tune!

Best regards to you,

Deej

Hey Gary,

It's great to hear some Australian imagery. I loved it!

As I listened, every now and then the Peter Allen song "Tenterfield Sadler" kept springing to mind. This is a great thing. It's one of my all-time favourite songs.

I really enjoyed listening and I'm a fan of the Queensland images.

I had to look up where Barcaldine is. Wow!!! That's quite a location... the geographical middle of Queensland. It's a long way from Melbourne where I live. Google tells me it's a 20 hour, non-stop drive from here to there!

All the best and thanks for some great listening!
Noel

Thanks Noel.

. Barcy is a great friendly outback town that has it all : heat, dust, flies, 4XXXX beer & Slim Dusty music....what more could you want? smile In recent times Grey nomads have breathed new life into Barcy and the welcome mat is always out for lock down weary Melbournians.

Thankyou for your listen and comments Noel as it is extra special to get the nod from a fellow Skippy.
