My dad's approach is a bit different, but I think his heart's in the same place. This kept me engaged and listening, and enjoying.

Tom, Januce & Bud ...

Gonna make this short and to the point. This is just so touching and heartfelt. I didn't have a good relationship with my father as I was growing up. But he did introduce me to the guitar - i guess that makes up for a lot of other stuff.

Totally loved it! I wish I had some great memories like these to think back on. Glad you did! Best to you ...

Of course, having Janice and Bud onboard is a gift...

Tremendous song.

Great collaboration on this one—heartfelt and moving write. So much that’s good about this one . . . but for me, the vocals put this one over the top. They SLAY! Harmonies in that chorus are killer, but the lead vocal is really, really strong on this—drips with emotion. Loved this one, guys.

All my best,

Deej


Thanks man, we agree, Tom sang the heck outa this one!

Tommy, Bud, and Janice, this is exactly what commercial radio should be playing. Everything about this is top shelf and air play ready.

Excellent song that you three should be very proud of.
