Robert and Joanne,

What a beautiful collaboration is this! A beautiful write and perfectly sung by Joanne (we especially like her harmony voices).
By all means keep these collaborations coming ;-)

The very strong write is tailor made for Joanne's vocal style which we have always felt, as Herb mentioned, is very reminiscent of Baez.

The production is lovely and it would be hard to imagine it done any other way after listening to this arrangement.

Lushly beautiful in all aspects!

Way to go you two.

Bob,
Thank you, I`m happy the feeling came through - yes, though its a simple style, I know Joanne did a great deal of work to get that sound.

Rob & Anne Marie,
Being only the second time someone else has sung one of my tunes, its spine tingling to hear what a fine singer can do ... I`m certainly open to more of that.
Thanks for your positive feedback!

Robert and Joanne,

This is really lovely to listen to.

Joanne: your singing is first class and sits with the song as comfortably as cream sits with coffee... 'stunning' is a word that came to mind as I listened.

Robert: as floyd has said, you've written some outstanding lines here. Your imagery is very poetic.

All the best to you both,
Noel

Thanks everyone for the great comments on this song. It was a pleasure to sing.

Robert, I make the midi file that follows the melody using melodyne. You simply save the lead vocal as midi. Just make sure that the tempo in melodyne is correct otherwise the midi file doesn't line up properly. You could also do it with the generated harmonies and make a midi file that follows the harmony line.

Hello, Robert and Joanne

Very beautiful song and very nice collaboration.
Joanne's vocal reminds me of Joan Baez. Very pleasant.
As floyd said, the melody is so comfortably familiar yet still seems unknown and new.
Robert, your melody lines are the royal road of Folk music.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best Regards.

Shigeki,
I`m happy you liked our song.
I`m mostly a recycler when it comes to melody- you can guess which materials went in, but the end product is a little different!
