floyd,
This is seriously good! Great writing, great arranging, great producing and all wrapped in a stellar performance! The limerick rhyme scheme is a perfect choice for these lyrics. And that line, "the straight and narrow is full of dangerous curves", is inspired lyric genius at its best. There are many possibilities in those words.
Thank you for including me in the bar scene! What you've done with all of our voices is spectacular.
All the best,
Noel
P.S. I agree! It's a great forum. I appreciate the nice review, Noel. And, appreciate you singing loud enough from Down Under to be a part of this!  (there don't seem to be as many limerick style lyrics as there used to be...)

Floyd and his choir.
Seriously great. Genius in fact. What a sensational concept, and how well did you all pull that off.
Yes, very, very well done. Congratulations team.
Trevor... I do appreciate that (as does the choir of drunks, I'm sure...)

What a great song you've made of it!!!!! Fantastic melody, vocals (yours we mean) and funny lyrics . And of course the chorus at the end is of "superb quality"!  't Was nice to be part of it! Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks to you both for helping out!

Hi, Floyd !:))
This is one of your best
(even without us drunkyards in the
background) !:))
You must, I am pretty sure, have had
a heck of a job putting this chorus
all together !! :))
Cheers
Dani

Hi Floyd, another good song !
The multi-participatory concept is awesome, but instead of a final choir, I think a meddley with people singing one after the other could be even better.
Cheers
Pascal Thanks, Pascal...

This was seriously fun to participate in. Who would've thought --
J&B in a broad international production. Like ROG said
"A superbly frivolous bit of fun, but a seriously good song
at the same time."
We've listened on three different systems and that ambience
provided by all those vocal tracks is amazing. It might be easy
to dismiss how it came together but I am SURE that it took a
world of balancing to get it "right."
Most excellent, mr jane!
J&B
And..most excellent for YOU to join in on this MR Merritt!!! One would think that would have been noticed as a highlight... (I did!)

Great fun song Floyd, when I saw your post first before listening I immediately thought of Toby Keith's I love this bar (I love that song) but of course yours is totally different but just as enjoyable.
Great live feel to it with all the people you have got involved, and a great mix as usual.
Thanks for all the tips your have given in past really appreciate it.
Musiclover Musiclover - Thanks for droppin in for a listen... There have been a number of "bar sing alongs" in Country music through the years - Toby's being the most recent - and the one that made me think to do this using the crowd ending...

That was written by a writer with experience! (I will let you decide what I meant by that) I haven't been commenting much lately, but this could not be ignored! the straight-and-narrow is filled with dangerous curves What a line! Just awesome! Great job chorus! You sang the part believably! All the way around a great, well written, well performed song. Bumper sticker writing at it's best! Caaron - appreciate all of that... I have always consider this a "throw away" - the only reason that I decided to record it was to do the crowd thing... ...have a bit of fun...

Amazing song, production and what a great collaboration. Thanks for putting it all together Floyd! Peter - So very nice to have you drop in to the Showcase! You, your team and your amazing software are what make this all possible. I think most of us feel that we could never adequately thank you for what that means to us. Thank You.
