Josie!! First of all, glad to hear that your doctor caught the skin cancer at an early stage and got it off! (It doesn't always work out that way!) I really think you should run with the "gator bite" explanation... and I also think you should keep us posted on the responses you get. That's a classic!  now, to the video: I already commented on the song when you posted it by itself ... but I like it all over again! I agree with the Karen Carpenter similarity, but you also have a very unique thing going that can't really be compared to anybody else. From a singer-song writer perspective, having a unique sound is about the ideal situation, and you have it. But I'm dying to know how you recorded the drawing of the heart graphic! That was totally cool! Did you use screen capture software to record what you were drawing in a computer graphics program?? VERY interesting, I want all the details, but only if you don't have to kill me after I know them. The video is indeed trippy, but to my eyes, that's a highly desirable trait for a music video to have! if actions speak louder than words, maybe I should just skip the verbal reviews and simply change my nick to "JOSIE'S FAN"

Josie,
Very nice, as usual. I always enjoy your musical (and now graphical) ability.
Thanks for the very enjoyable listen!
Hope your visit to the doctor is a quick and easy one...

J&B,
Thank y'all. I'm glad you liked it. We went to Stone Mountain Park which might be near your neck of the woods. Awesome laser light show. They beam it right on the mountain. In '68 I graduated from 8th grade and got his big gaudy psychedelic pendant necklace where the image on it changed colors when it moved - I wore that thing everywhere all summer. LOL
Alyn,
So nice to see you. Sorry about your mini mini's. Glad your friend enjoyed it and the eye test made me laugh.
Bob,
Thank you, I appreciate it. Flashback - LOL!
Floyd,
Thank you for watching. I know you're not into videos that much. I don't like many of the ones the record companies make. A lot of them distract me more than getting me into the music.

It's all been said. I really like this song, the lyrics, and your vocal. Outstanding! The mix is also super.
I like the graphics although I thought that they were a bit redundant. But that did not detract from the song.
This is a keeper.
My boss calls me "the computer".
Nothing to do with intelligence. I go to sleep if left unattended for 15 minutes.

Pat,
Thank you, I appreciate that very much.
I'm past the stitches and went back to work this week with those little strips that stay on. The drawing is an effect in Videostudio - you can still live. LOL!
Mario,
I appreciate you watching and your comments. Thank you.
Josie

Wow, this is a stunner Josie! You really got inside this song with that vocal. Beautifully put together, and the video totally complemented the song. Great stuff.
Sorry to hear you were poorly, and glad you're on the mend now. x
John

Hi Josie,
I've been away from the forums for a while. Like with you, real life came along and took me in a different direction for a time. It's good to be back, now, though.
Wow!! This is top notch in every single way. Your vocals are superb, and the arrangement, the mix and the production are outstanding. I loved everything about this work of yours.
Best wishes for a speedy healing from all those stitches!
Regards,
Noel

You know, I was just wondering about you this past week - no kidding - it's not like you to be away from the forum for so long. Glad to see you back and I hope all is well with you.
