Glad to weigh in early on this! Yeah, man, ain't a little learning a dangerous thing! Google and Wiki has certainly upped the "expert" quotient. Great choice of RTs and mix, great vocal, fun and clever lyrics -- it's ALL there. That's a nice clean crispy acoustic arrangement also. (And FWIW these observations come from a guy who hauled a bass fiddle around 30 years staring at the backside of bluegrass bands)

This is fantastic!
I don’t know how you came up with these lyrics but they are super.

Hi Bob, What a FUN song! I really like it. Now all you need to do is take your laptop, check into a Holiday Inn Express, crank up Google, and write your next song! Glad to see you back! Steve

Bob,
That is just brilliant!!!!
You're trademark creativity is at full sail with this song. I love the quirkiness of the subject matter and the way you've put these lyrics together. My favourite rhyme is 'history / cake for me' - being able to come up with something like that is what I call TALENT!
I thoroughly enjoyed "Thank God For Google".
All the best, Noel
