Hi, Gary.

I like this - good narrative that draws me in, story that moves along, and interesting details to give it life. Your voice is fine.

My favorite line:

      I said "can you play a Dylan song - to help me find my way?"
      He said "son, I'll play them all for you - this is your lucky day"

The vocal sounds a bit compressed or over-processed, but I don't have the ears to tell exactly what I'm hearing. (It's not the delay).

I've only got two pedantic nits, and I should preface my remarks by saying that plenty of successful songs have broken these rules, so they don't carry any weight in the real world:

First, the POV changes from "I" at the beginning to an omniscient narrator describing what the busker is doing.

The second is just a pet peeve of mine, where language is forced into an unnatural format to make something fit: If only I did realise.

There's no real harm in either of these.

Fun song! smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
