Hi Greg,

All the busy things you had to do as a retiree worked out fine for your head!
You created a very nice melody, with strong vocals.
I enjoyed it very much!

Maybe there is one thing you can consider (but it is a matter of taste); Try using some stronger sounding instruments somewhere in the middle of your song to make an accent. It is a long song (4:55) and might need that change, or you can consider to transpose the song one verse before the ending of the song? But Greg, even without my suggestions, your song is very good. And as I said, I like the vocals!

Have a nice day,
Hans

Hi Greg.
It's all there. A lovely arrangement, vocal and lyric all swirling around in that synthy sea.

Simply excellent !
I love your voice, that classic guitar sound, the mix ...
I think the "power ballad" snare is really catchy; how did you do it ?
I also loved your song "Sausalito" I listened the other day
well done !

Hi Greg
I think for most of us there's a place that evokes that kind of feeling. Lovely song and your vocal, as always, is superb.
