But this one I HAD to comment on!

There is so much I want to say, but also want to keep it brief.

First, this song, as others have mentioned, fits that time perfectly. Now, truth be told, I was 1 at in 1972. However, living in a very small town in the Midwest, things tended to get here a bit later. I also feel trends stuck around a bit longer.

This is a mash up of so many things I like in song-writing and delivery. Just really well done!

Last three things...

That is unreal about the Pat Marr part of it. How cool of a coincidence is that though? Just awesome!

This song leaves me with a slightly sad feeling of things from the past. I like it, because it really does show how powerful your song writing is. It's not about me, yet it is!

Now this has to do with the song, and all of your songs. You have a unique ability my friend. Even though I have never heard this song, I have an "idea" of what it will sound like before hearing it. NOT the specifics...that's what the song is.

You have a VERY strong identity in both your writing and presentation. I know your voice, and your sound overall. Of course, you still manage to make each one unique enough to keep each song interesting! Amazing FJ!

You know how if you see a quote from someone like James Earl Jones, or Morgan Freeman, you can read it in "their voice?" It's like that. I'm not sure you are aware of it though. I would bet others here would say the same about you and your songs.

That is SO flippin' rare. It's what the greats have. That is YOU!

Thanks for the share, and bringing me back!


Caaron - goodness...what a very nice write up... I truly appreciate all that you have written here. It is humbling. It has been a real pleasure to have a song garner the reaction that this has - to trigger so many memories for people for all walks of life, from all corners of the world...this forum is so cool... (thank you).

This is excellent (again!). Your writing, your performance and your production all gleam. Using a hint of "The House Of The Rising Sun" as the opening was very effective. It got my attention. Then came the song. It was loaded with memories. You've very skilfully captured the essence of this moment in history.

An excellent journey back in time!

Noel - thanks, as always, for your support. Interesting that you picked up on the Rising Sun opening... I did not aim at that, specifically, but once it was in place, I thought the same thing!! I appreciate the nice review...
