Hi Josie,
Hilarious! I'd be pretty shook up too if I saw Elvis, were it not for the fact that he's my next door neighbor. Now he wears a disguise and weighs about 400. So it seems pretty clear that you saw an Elvis impersonator. This wouldn't have been around Halloween would it?

Josie, I am going to kitchen for a peanut butter and banana sandwich. What a great idea and a very nice job bringing it together. Your vocals of late are really sounding super. I really enjoyed this fun, very entertaining and very listenable track. Good stuff! Tom Tom said it nicely, so +1 that (and I want that samich, too..)  Tommy and FJ, Thank you guys, never tried one fried.

I love this song! Everyone here knows how big of an Elvis fan I am, this is perfect. I remember when he first passed away, almost everyday someone was claiming to have seen him somewhere. I thought I had one of these moments on one of my visits to Graceland. As I was walking up the drive to the house, there was an Elvis imitator sitting on the steps; and from a distance he looked just like Elvis. It was one of those moments when you could imagine Elvis himself sitting there. Thanks for sharing! Thank you Robert, I loved going to Graceland it's sort of a surreal experience for a fan and that had to make it even more so. I've loved Elvis as long as I can remember. One of my friend's sons is a tribute artist and won first place at Elvis week last year. He doesn't really look like him that much but his sound and mannerisms are spot on. Josie

Hi Josie.
Anything which can raise a smile has to be a good thing and this made me laugh out loud.
Very clever writing, fully supported by a great backing and a brilliant performance.
Loved it.
ROG.
ROG! Thank you. I'm still laughing over that stick guy buying a sax. Josie

Josie...... kinda glad I finally dropped in on this.
Nice country twanger.... There's a lot to like about this song. I could hear someone like Carleen Carter, or Miranda Lambert singing this..... It's a fun song.
I really liked the production chops you used..... backing out to just drums in a few places. When the guitar brought it back in with a short lick.... that guitar needed a clockwise twist of the volume knob right there...since it was almost lost in the background.
Way to go and looking to hear more stuff like that from you. The song, I think, may have been one of your best so far.
I've never been an Elvis fan but curiosity got the better of me on this and I'm glad I dropped in for a listen..... I played in a band once upon a time where the singer was an Elvis imitator. So much so that he used the EP mannerisms in his "normal" daily life. Sad thing was that this guy really could have made a ton of money in music doing the Elvis shows because he was actually pretty good at it..... but he never wanted to spend the time to get the music right..... "Just give me a "G" chord boys...." I didn't stay in that band very long.... Thank you very much Herb. Years ago I sang a demo for a song going to a specific country artist and I had so much fun with my version of her style that it's my alter ego when I want to really go for the twang. Yeah I had that guitar louder but it just didn't work well....I think there might have been some noise on the track I couldn't get out. Not sure now, but I remember trying it louder then having to pull it back to where it is for some reason. Too bad that guy wasn't willing to put in the work. From what I hear it's a fun job that pays great if you do it right. Josie

Wonderful lyrics, I just love them! Lawrence! Glad you're back. Sometimes I work my own nerves but I can't help it, I'm a nitpicker over lyrics. So that means a lot to me. Thank you. Josie

Josie, I still can't get it to play... (been having trouble with Sound Cloud playing lately) but I guess you're aware that the PGMusic facebook page featured this song today...? JOSIE'S SONG OK, it finally played for me! It was definitely fun for ME to listen to, but I like the fact that it sounds like YOU had a lot of fun performing it! It was very evident in several places that you were totally unencumbered by self conscious "song writing" inhibitions, because you couldn't have whole-heartedly played with the timing and inflections the way you did unless you were just having a blast! I especially liked you change of delivery at the lines: "He was holding that door and smiled hello
Oh I thought I might be dead sounded like you were totally smitten! (I assume that's the feeling you were shooting for, right?) And the fact that it's based on a true story makes a very clever and fun song all the more intriguing on a whole new level! Nice project all around Josie! It made me happy to hear you cut loose and let yourself have fun with it! Thank you very much Pat. What insightful and nice things to say. And thanks for the heads up on the FB page. Josie

Josie this is fantastic! I'm late getting here and everything that I was thinking has already been said, i.e. great lyrics, backing tracks and vocal.
This is a keeper. Thank you Mario. You are one of the most outstanding people and consistent composers on this forum. Josie

Hi Josie,
This is incredibly good on every level possible: the production is crisp and sparkles with clarity; your arrangement is thoughtful and very well designed; your singing is both-thumbs-up great; the composition is witty and very intelligently written.
This could all so easily be a hit!
Ok ... I'm heading back to listen again.
All the best,
Noel Thank you so much Noel. From your mouth to God's ear. LOL! I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment. I know how busy you are these days. And I can't thank you enough for all the help you given me with Reaper. Josie

Josie -
We've been busy and missed this. Great number! Love the Patsy Cline delay you got on the vocal.
Regards,
Bob Bob, thank you very much. I'm loving that free Replika delay from NI. So glad you enjoyed the song. Josie
