Interesting write Fred! I particularly like this part.
With a stockpile of abuses
Hiding in your drawer
Not taking your excuses
You gotta check them at the door
Looks like you're going to make your 52. Impressive!! Take care. Greg

Fred,
Another enjoyable song.
It must have been fun writing this- I like the idea of back and forth creation with your co-writer. The result is good and has a nice light touch both lyrically and in the ragtime backing.

Well done! Thanks, Joe. Starting to feel relieved. Next week's song is fully arranged and waiting for my vocals. In the new year I will post my reflections on the project and how I used BIAB to accomplish my objectives. Fred

What a cool idea for a write. We love the minimalist production as it works perfectly with your vocal and allows a lot of emphasis on the neat lyric. 51 -- wow. I haven't written that many in my life As always we equally enjoy the backstory and the photo. Merry Christmas! J&B
