Hi Gregg.
In a word, BRILLIANT.
Loved everything.
Excellent production involving constant changes in instrumentation and rhythm and a spot-on mix.
And the reverb on the vocal? Perfect. Just perfect. Suited the style of song and blended the voice into the backing seamlessly. (Sorry Floyd!) And it's not as if I had a reputation for piling on the reverb, is it?
Don't change ANYTHING.
ROG. I agree 1,000%. This is a keeper as is. Great work here.
Love is grand.
Divorce is twenty grand!

ROG, thanks for the kind words-more than I deserve I'm sure. Means a lot coming from you since your productions are always excellent. Not sure if I commented on the last one (meant to). It was very 50's influenced. Some said BBs, but I thought it was kind of Frankie Valley meets somebody. BG vocals were great and the whole tune was a treat!! Anyway, thanks again for listening and commenting.
Herb, thanks for the nice comments. I love what you're doing lately-really diverse and uniformly excellent! Always appreciate your thoughtful feedback. Your comments on one of my songs (Take me down) remain the greatest compliment I've ever received. Thanks much.
Josie, always love hearing from you (feedback and new songs). You're really doing a lot of cool things. Checked out a bit on your website of songs on Itunes? Curious how hard it is to get any sales without serious promotion. Whether or not that's working yet, you're doing great stuff in a lot of different genres. And, I appreciate your encouragement of my efforts. Means a lot to me!
Take care all. Greg

J @ B, thanks for all of your attention and kind words! You guys are a great positive force on the forum. Always a treat to see what you're up to, and love your thoughtful feedback.
Pat, it has been great getting your feedback on my stuff, and I always read what you have to say about others' songs. You really give the listens a lot of thought and your analysis is detailed and spot on.
Dani, nice to hear from you again, and I loved your new one-different for you but still you. Glad your life seems to be going so well for you recently! You are the heart of the forum. Never go away.
Take care all. Greg

Alyn, thanks for the nice comments. I never really thought of the Cars but I can see the resemblance. They were a cool band. I remember listening to that first record a lot. I always loved DRIVE-infectious groove and interesting lyric. If you haven't heard it for a while, you should check it out again. I love your frequently quirky, always fresh and creative, and inspired songs. You are truly creative and inspirational. Always a treat to hear what you've cooked up. Keep posting!
Scott, thanks for the kind words. They really mean a lot to me. Thanks for listening and commenting!
Mario D, thanks again for the positive words. And, thanks for your comments on Destination Paradise. I didn't want to bump it back into the conversation for fear of looking like I was self promoting. If you want to hear some great tunes in this style, check out Michael Franks who inspired this song. He's incredibly clever and the music is sweet. I'd listen to Tiger in the Rain, or Blue Pacific. Also want to say I'm digging your textural instrumentals. Your stuff is incredibly emotion evoking! Keep it up!
Take care all. Greg

You may be late to the party, but you are always a very welcome guest! Much appreciate your comments. Thanks for the info on the mic/pre on your last tune. The vocal sounded great. You got me thinking about trying to snag one of those mics off ebay! Thanks for commenting. Take care. Greg

Excellent arrangement with well thought-out variations that really keep kept me engaged. The backing vocals make this stand out in my mind. You have that sought after wall of sound going on and the the vocals really shine. Well done! Oh yeah, the guitar is cool too:)
It's a very good song!! Applause.

On a scale of 1 to 10, this is a definite "11"! I caught the EC retro vibe too. Well done throughout and I agree with everything others have said.
Keep em comin'!
