Hi Noel ...

You accomplished your goal in full totality. Your lyrics always paint an indelible image for your listeners. So well written and performed. I think this is your strongest vocal sing I've been listening to you (3 or 4 years?).

That was a true listening pleasure, my friend. Taske a bow ... maybe two or three. Wishing you the very best ...

Hi Alan,

I know that time is very precious to you these days and I am sincerely grateful that you managed to jump into this thread and have a listen. Thank you for your comments, too. You've added warmth and happiness to what is a slightly cold, overcast and gloomy Melbourne morning.

Sending lots of good thoughts your way,
Noel

Nice job on everything,mix,composition,all of it. My only nitpick is the same problem I have...the piano seems a bit to upfront at times.I love piano to. Other than that, very,very nice.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Rick,

Thank you for dropping in. I appreciate the visit, listen and comment.

As you've guessed, I'm a piano fan. That said, it's an instrument that seems to challenge me a lot when I try to mix it. Sooner or later, I get to a mix that seems to work in some way and I call it quits at that point. I'll wait a couple of days and then give the song a re-listen in light of your comments. Thanks!

All the best,
Noel

Hey, there, 'Noel96'...

That's a nice thing to say! Thank you. However, you'd be surprised at how useful a good dictionary and a thesaurus can be!

LOREN

P.S. Thank you for the link to the Strauss waltz. It was a grand, majestic listening experience, and yet as romantic in tone as a couple picnicking on a summer's day...

Hi Torry,

Thank you for visiting here and Soundcloud. I sincerely appreciate it.

Just to set the record straight, I think I'm more of a classroom act than a class act (I'm a school teacher). I'll take it anyway. You made me smile big time smile

All the best,
Noel
