FJ and Pat, I thought it was pretty anyway. I didn't realize the swirl effect in background vocals back in the mix would become the focal point of the song. Thank you guys for teaching me a valuable lesson! Don't sing if everything wasn't recorded in my key. Got it.


Of course it was pretty!!

One of the challenges in a forum like this is to say something constructive without saying what everybody else has already said. The message has been repeated loud and clear that your vocals are just LOVELY and that Deans craftsmanship with a wide variety of instruments is nothing short of phenomenal! So, what's left to say?

Is it bad form to point out something that strikes us as being different than we expect? For newbies, I'd say yes. For pros like you and Dean, I'd tend to err on the side of analytical evaluation.

This is a little bit like looking at Cindy Crawford and saying "she has a mole". It may be a true statement, but Cindy Crawford remains beautiful nonetheless... maybe even a bit more attractive for its presence. And that's one of the points I tried to make (not very well)

My main regret is ending that dang review before I got to the good stuff.. I was cooking dinner and it started boiling over so I had to save and close without much thought... and being old, I got distracted and didn't come back until the next day.

Oh well. In summary, I hope you both know by now how highly I regard you. You both consistently set a very high bar and hit it, and this song is no exception!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Josie, you are really good at these jazz projects, and I would really like to see more such music in your repertoire!
