Hi Rob,

Made me smile straight away!

My parents bought me a Uke when I was seven and although I've had lots of
different guitars over the years, I've still got that Uke hanging on the wall
next to the Fenders!

Loved the track. It's got an almost Reggae beat to it which I find infectious and
rather pleasing. As I said, it brought a smile to my face from the first bar to the last.

Fabulous whistling, by the way.

Cheers,
ROG.

smirk whistle Got me smiling from ear to ear, Rob. Very cheery indeed. The group sounds great, and your whistling is superb. I tried a long whistle solo once and quickly learned where the phrase wet your whistle came from. Stay well!


Enjoy whatever happens!

That was really enjoyable. I dare anyone to listen to that and not feel #Happy Upbeat. Great whistling, hand clapping and xylophone. They were the icing on the cake. That Uk sounds great. I have to get the latest version of BIAB. I'm still working with 2012.

Super cool Rob!

As Rog mentioned there is a slight reggae vibe that really
adds to the feel.

Nice whistling and xylophone by you and the RT's are great.

Bouncy and fun!

A happy cheerful song that put a smile on my face. Just what I needed tonight!

Excellent whistling and mix.


Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

The midi xylophone was a perfect choice. It'd've been nice to hear a real one with the ringing overtones but needs must.
A lovely piece Bob/Rob well done.


Cheers

The whistling is sensational. You could have had a career doing it.
Thanks for sharing such a happy tune in these challenging times.
