"Celebrating Life" in these European times is hard but will not fade.

Hi Brian,

Really a song that gives you a happy feeling.
So cheerful and well sung and what a great fiddle!
And the video.... that's what I (Anne-Marie) call dancing!

Enjoyed very much.

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

Yes, lighthearted for sure. And the uplifting vision told the same story as the music.

Well done.

That was a cool tune. Nicely done.

The video kinda had me captivated..... first... everyone sliding down out of the hay loft over that exposed knob and tube electrical wiring.... cringeworthy.... And who wears suits and ties to a barn dance?

Regardless..... a pleasant excursion into a time long gone.

Brian, you had me from the first measure

I'll bet you had a lot of fun doing this song

Super mix and instrumentation

two thumbs up


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Hi Brian,

An exhausting song... All that dancing and swinging and you on the guiytar or fiddle!
No, it's a very joyful song! Much needed in these dark times...
Enjoyed the video and the song.

The only 'improvement' I can think of is a background group (of girls) singing along your chorus.
But you have to find them.

Nice day,
Hans

So good, Brian. Love that video, too. Man, you really got Judy to dance in those heels. This song is a wonderful celebration of life, and, man, do we need that now. Take care over there.


Enjoy whatever happens!
