David Cuny so graciously donated his time & effort
To rework & remix...

Thanks David...
You are truly a gentleman & a scholar smile

I hope you enjoy watching & listening.



Dreams of You © J Hughes

When I close my eyes
And drift off in the night
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

When I go to bed
With old mem'ries in my head
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

Dreams of you
Help me through the night
When I'm lonely
And I'm feeling blue

When I close my eyes
With a heartache tonight
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

Middle 4

Dreams of you
Help me through the night
When I'm lonely
And I'm feeling blue

When I close my eyes
With a heartache tonight
I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

I'll be dreaming
Dreams of you

Jim and David this is a great song and mix. Jim, your vocals were spot on and the lyrics are great. David's mix was perfect.

There's a lot to like about this song!

Jim & David,
A very smooth sound- that relaxed almost country crooner quality of Jim`s vocal is presented beautifully here.
I like the pure simplicity of the song and David has stayed true to the feeling in the mix.
Usually I can spot those Helicon harmonies but they blend well and maybe its the reverb gives the song that very smooth texture.
Good work- I Enjoyed!

I LOVE the sound of the BLOCKFISH compressor but I can't get it to run properly on my new computer.
This vocal is a perfect example of how well it can work.
Good song & performance Jim - clever mix David.

This came out very good! I liked original version, but David took this a Big step higher, not screwing up original vibe. Congrats to both of you and thank you for sharing!
