Hi Richard,
I enjoyed that! I can't recall having heard you create something in the smooth jazz (poppy) genre before. Very creative! It's a great style.
What I like most about BIAB is that it makes everything possible.
All the best to you and yours for 2018!
Noel

Hey Rich! So glad you put this tune together and got the ball rolling. I love it! It is so different from my own interpretation. Very jazzy and laid back. Thank you! PS for those of you who are not aware, there a was post by Heartolearn on putting different peoples musical interpretation on the same lyrics. This is why you see two completely versions of these lyrics on this forum. Anyone else is most welcome to join in! http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=449070&gonew=1#UNREAD

Dang, now two versions I have to wait and listen to.....  Will be recording vocals on Monday (Day off work) for mine. I figure if I record about 200 takes I should be able to comp it down to something that's in tune.

Nice interpretation of Joanne's lyrics. It was quite an interesting project idea and I'm looking forward to other entries to come.
This is a great start to the project.

This is cool to see what different people will do with the same lyric.
I enjoyed your entry, Richard. Especially like how you went to the C from the E in the first line and to the C# in the second - a truly interesting melody change there...

That's super cool to see you guys working together like this. I like seeing different people's interpretations of the lyrics and how to apply a specific sound to it. Well done. Can't wait to hear any others that come up!
Cheers,
Ember

Hi Noel.
Glad you enjoyed.
The style makes it easy (with a few tweaks).
I like to try jazz but tend to use triad chords without extensions which is not very jazzy.
Cheers.

Hi Steve.
Am looking forward to your song.
Comparing the songs will be great fun.
Where they differ and where they are naturally similar.
Very interesting.
For what it's worth i record mine a phrase at a time then stick it all together.
Cheers.

Thanks for listening Floyd.
Funny chords there but I wanted something a little different but not too much and it seems to fit.
I hope you do a version!
Cheers.

Richmac, this is the nice warm blanket on a winters night version. It's soooo nice! You apologized for your vocal and really shouldn't have. I like your vibrato! Everything about this song is soothing, and I like that. What a great addition to the versions that are and will be posted! Thanks for jumping on this with such a cool version

Hello, Rich
Very cool song!
The way you use smooth jazz (poppy) style is very creative!
As floyd said, especially like how you went to the C from the E in the first line and to the C# in the second - a truly interesting melody change there...
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

fj I was thinking the same thing. The chord changes are really intriguing. Good job on this, Tom
