"Is it dog-eared and battered
It's not torn beyond repair
One more journey on the water
Don't let your heart despair
I'll be waiting for you there"

What a chorus! That one will stick with you, indeed. Great vocals and a really cool supportive arrangement. The percussion is perfect. The ethereal sound of the harmonies really fit with the entire vibe. Great job all the way around!!

I hope you all don't mind instead of responding to each of you who've commented since Bob has already done that and it's been a long work day for me that I just type this to thank you all very much for your comments. I appreciate all of you very much.

Bob was so sweet in giving me card blanche with his cool original lyrics and BB file on this song. I just loved the pictures he painted in this. So after a little rearranging of verses tweaking the overall arrangement and then a little rewriting of the chorus, I was really glad he related to the changes and we were on the same page. The harmonies were playing in my head so it was fun to finally hear them with his final vocal which he sang so beautifully. It was also nice to find a mandolin RT that played off the bongos really nice with a just a little editing. It was kept purposely simple instrument wise to stay true to the underlying folk vibe. Bob choosing the ethereal sound when he did the final mix added an air of freshness I thought was a nice touch.

It was a fun collab after not doing one together for a while. We'd been planning on doing a new one for some time.

Oh yeah, no pitch correction, no harmonizers - (not that there's anything wrong with that) - this one - true to the genre - is all us. <grin>

Thank each of you again for all of the positive feedback, Bob and I appreciate it very much.
