Hello, Stefan

An amazing video - extraordinary story telling, and video production skills as many others said.
I was attracted by the video too much and couldn't concentrate on the music, so I listened to the audio-only version of the Soundcloud again.
The music is also very cool.
Great vocal.
And the horn section is wonderful.
The use of Rhodes Piano is splendid.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Stefan and Maha,

What an incredible audio and video journey. I'm a huge, huge fan!

Because I couldn't think of anything new to add to all the above, very-well earned accolades, I thought I'd create some WordArt using some of the words and phrases that sprang to mind as I listened.



The two of you are an amazing musical team!

All the best,
Noel

... 500 Euros are a special price for a friend cool

As to the humour thing: That must be the reason why you provided German TV with such 'Grenades Of Humour' like Lou van Burg, en Rudi Carell.

You can consider yourself fortunate that I did not take THEM as role models ;-)))))))))))

Prettige Zondag, vriendelijke vriend,

Stefan

Thanks for sharing smile


Hi Deryk,

great that you had some fun with the video - thanks a lot for your compliments.

Your creativity seems to know no bounds. Heck, even if the
music wasn't so good the video would be entertaining but
then with the great music it's the total package.

Like all your video productions this one requires several views
to even begin to catch all the cool subtleties.

The shoutout to Wolfman was most cool.

And you are very much the funkster!

And the two of you at the end was worth the price of admission!

Sooooo much fun!

J&B

PS Thank you for throwing our mug shots on the wall! And the website
link was very thoughtful.



Dear Janice, dear Bud,

making people chuckle - OK. Make them laugh out loud - even better. Make them watch the video or listen to the song more than once - incredible. But making people 'happy feet' - how could that ever be beaten ... smile

Like always your reply to Ain't Got Time is really heartwarming. And blushing at the same time. Thanks an awful lot for that positive feedback.

And Maha says 'Thank you very much' for mentioning her that positively. She really spent some time on that mix, discarding it over and over again - I think you can imagine how happy I am that she - despite a long way of recovery ahead - can work on our stuff thar successfully.

Yeah, the subtleties: I'm just working on a new video (three actually) and maling them up is always one of the highlights (don't want to use the word 'climax', because I don't know the plural of that word. And who would need that plural at our old age anyway ... grin ).

And oh yes: Hanging your pictures on Funky Fritz's wall was a real honour for ME.

All the best to both of you,

Stefan

Hi Noel,

what a fantastic (and laborious!) way of telling us that you enjoyed Ain't Got Time - thank you so very much for that great word art image.

I know, being vain is no good at all, but I have to admit that I had it just printed out. I think I'm gonna blow it up, frame it and hang it up in a unobtrusive place in our house.

Like next to the front door. WHERE EVERYBODY MUST SEE IT !!!! grin grin grin

Thank you so much, you're just lovely !!!!

All the best,

Stefan

Hi Marty,

thanks a lot for your lovely words and comments on our production.

Well, I have to admit that this one took especially much time to get it done. I think I wrote the song last fall (2018) and then worked on the vid ever since, but of course not continuously. It was the first time I tried to get things in cartoon-style, and there was a lot of uncharted territory. But it was huge fun...

Take care,

Stefan

Dear Torrey,

it's great to have you finally back here on the forum - I do hope your break wasn't do to health reasons or other nasty stuff.

Thank you so much for your awesome comment on Ain't Got Time - I really appreciate it a lot, and you know that this is even more the case as I admire your work so much.

This is (plwase believe me!!!) not for getting another positive comment, but since I know that you like uptempo stuff like a Blues Rock Shuffle and a funny video, too, you might want to have a watch at the last thing I posted while you were off the forum (Floyd said that it was the best one so far): If The Phone Don't Ring (You'll Know That It's Me). I'm pretty sure you will enjoy that one, too.

Thanks again for your very knd words that really made y day.

Really looking forward to you next song !!!!!

All the very best,

Stefan

Hi sickboy12345678,

thanks for your positive words.

The Lashout style is part of the RealTracks set #301. But I cannot tell you if this came with the regular BIAB or a special RealTracks release. I'm sure that PGMusic will be happy to inform you.

Take care,

Stefa

Hello Shigeki Adachi,

I don't know how this could happen, but I somehow skipped your very nice and kind comment when I wrote my thankyou-replies - please forgive me my sloppiness.

This is even more annoying and I'm even more sorry for that as you found very nice and detailed words to express that you enjoyed the video and the song.

So thank you so much for all that, I really appreciate your posituive comment a lot.

All the best,

Stefan
