Hi Alyn
So glad it sounds like you are on the mend. Does "ginge" love it? Enjoyed it. I don't know about you but I always get in such trouble when I publish the inspiration for my songs. Ha ha....

Joanne,

ginge did like the song but she's slightly annoyed because now some of the other regulars have started calling her ginge too HAHAHAHA. So we have called a truce and she is "Oi you!" or Lucy now and I carefully check my coffee grin

Keep on posting your inspirations 'cos they give the song life! I have many songs that when I play them I can remember the surrounding events and it is so much better than a picture.

thanks for listening

Bet she gets even more annoyed when you all sing the song together for her, she now knows that you can write a song about anything.

I'm sure she's a really nice girl and you all enjoy "The Craic" together.

Very good write Alyn really enjoyed it.

Alyn,

That is a fun song to listen to. I like the way you loosely double tracked your vocal. Your singing style on this song reminds me of the singer / songwriter Alan O'Day most famous during the seventies for the song "Undercover Angel".

Enjoy the free Decaff!

Glad you enjoyed Lawrence.
It was meant as a tribute to a nice young lady. People like her bring a moment of joy to another otherwise normal, boring day. laugh

thanks for listening

Jim,
I had to google Alan O'Day and sort of vaguely, remember that song BUT I also discovered he wrote Angie Baby for Helen Reddy, one of my all time favourites.

I copied and pasted the other versions/takes of those lines as a lazy way to start the harmonies but thought Woah that works!!

Sadly the decaff tasted awful so she knocked up a weak real coffee and aaaah! that found the spot. That is our secret, don't tell anyone blush

thanks for listening

Alyn

Very cool song!! I love the live sound you get in your songs. The vocal doubling works great. Great instrument choices and arrangement. Loved it all, and again welcome back! Take care. Greg
