Stefan, this is very well done on all levels. Great vocals and guitar work and Maha nailed the mix. The video is also very well done. Much enjoyed, Tom Hello Tommy, thank you so much for your lovely words and compliments. I passed "nailed the mix" to maha, who's still in hospital, and it really made her smile big. Thanks for taking the time to watch and listen. All the best, Stefan

excellent Stefan, swinging 40s comes to mind here, Video again Brilliant.
Did you use a harmonizer for the backing vocal fx ?.
Enjoyed this very much. Hi beatmaster, thank you very much for your kind words, I really appreciate them a lot. As to your question: No, no harmonizer - every single note was squeezed out of those old and frayed vocal cords. But I have to admit that I had to slightly pitch correct two or three (OK, four or five...) notes of the middle part using the respective RealBand feature. Cheers, Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Can I borrow Maha, so she can mix my stuff? She is a real talent!
As are you! Wonderful song, well composed and arranged with your usual great guitar playing.
Very well done! I totally enjoyed listening to this!
Will Hi Will, I will ask Maha (who's still in hospital) if she would like to be borrowed... But you always do great mixing jobs yourself, so there's no real need, actually !!!! Thank you so much for your very nice and friendly comment on this song which even means more to me as I know that you really have notion of music! Have a nice weekend and all the best up north, Stefan

Stefan, you wrote for Maha and made her mix? What is this? It is like inviting a girl on a date and make her buy her own flowers?  Great job on this! Everything is superb from vocals to arrangement to mixing. P.S. You took a romantic break and that is fine. Back to fun & weird stuff! Thank you for sharing! Misha. Well, Misha, it's not quite like you said: I had written the song so long ago, and after Maha, ten years later, was still sure that my lover's oath hadn't been just jabber, she decided that I might be worth the mixing effort Or you might regard it as sort of a payback thing... Thanks a lot for your positive and kind comment on the song that apparently was taken care of by my Dr Jeckyll side wanting to start the year on a romantic note. But don't you be afraid: Mr Hyde is already peepng around the corner, carrying a big bag full of fun and weirtd stuff  Have a pleasant weekend. Cheers, Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Overall impression
Congratulations Stefan on a slick and agreeable track
Mix / Production
everything is clear, audible and in its place
Instrumentation
Cool horns if sometimes a touch intrusive
Cool organ sound
well played gtr solo
Vocals
nicely balanced between the lead and harmony parts
sung with conviction!
What I really liked
slick and agreeable track with an upbeat feel
the chord structure in verse
What you might like to return to
It might be an idea to check your lyrics out with a native English speaker pre-recording (you’ll avoid clunky lines like “can make the wrongest things right »
The drum track sounded a little too busy for my taste
Perhaps too long – there was a choice to be made between either the gtr solo or the horns interlude

Firstly, we hope Maha is improving!
One word comes to mind listening to his tune...classy!
The vocals, the "old snail hand" guitar, the arrangement, back tracks and the mix are all, as Gegg Allman says, hittin' the note. Everything is in the pocket and result sounds excellent on the KRK's. It presents a very nice soundstage.
The video was lovely and we can also envision a B&W video with a set like you would have seen with Frank or Dean or Sammy.
Misha said "you wrote for Maha and made her mix? What is this? It is like inviting a girl on a date and make her buy her own flowers?" hahahha We like the flowers she bought!
Most excellent!

Dear Janice, dear Bud, like always your comment is so kind - thanks a lot for the nice things you wrote. And, of course, thanks a lot for your good wishes for Maha - I will come back to this issue in a PM. But despite of all problems she was so glad when she heard that you had thought of her and that you liked her 'flowers'. All the very best, and thank you so much for everything, Stefan

Thanks, Torrey Dear Torrey, I'm always flattered by your very nice comments on my songs, and I really want to thank you for your kind words. I already passed your compliment about the mix to Maha who was very happy to hear this. All the best, Stefan

This is refreshingly original. As always, your vocals are good and cause one to listen closely to the whole production. Very peppy!
