G'day mate....

I'm very pleased that my comments were received as intended. smile

You have obviously become very comfortable with your vocal style.
Include a tool like BIAB....what could be better for us song writers?
Something else I perceive about the 'era' we're discussing.
It was not only the lyrics of the time but how the songs were performed by those artists of the time.
A great live or recording performance can out weight other distasteful aspects of a song. (IE: dare I say....'his head was squirming like a toad')

As I stated regarding my last one, (Stanger Stange Land) I felt way out of my league with the lead vox....like I had to micro-croon....terrifying thought.
A slower vocal pace, phrasing requires better breathing, emoting...you get the idea. smile
But...the song evolved as they tend to do and I liked it enough to throw against the forum wall.

Thanks for the response....have a great weekend.
