Haha, Thanks, Mark. Robert Cray insists it's not just 1-4-5 anymore. wink

Very lovely Blues, with a splendid solo! Your vocals -as often- are always very pleasant to listen to and always with a humorous twist in them, regardless of the theme. I like that, as I often told you!

The lyrics are moralistic in a way, but it's a good advise to listen to. I agree on that.
I only think that the line "Listen to your heart, and don't thnk twice" needs to be altered in "do think twice".
Not thinking twice usually causes huge problems. See this as my 'good advise' ;-)

As you might have guessed, I really enjoyed your song!
Hans

Thanks, Hans. When you talk like that I don't mind you repeating yourself. hehe Yeah, it's kinda preachy with the morals and all. Each of the verses talks about one commandment or another. Usually if I think twice, the second thought is more selfish. Wait, On second thought...

Marty and Dave... You guys are da Bomb...
My question is... which is worse..? to give, or to take Bad Advice?
I'd advise against answering that... grin;-)

AH, the old Would I rather be taken care of by a caregiver or a caretaker? question. Thanks, bloc-head.

I like your voice Marty and your vocal chain sounds really good on this.
Sorry, I must confess the faces on the video
were too distracting for me. I can't even watch those on AFV....so nothing personal.
Enjoyed my listen very much.
Great job.

Josie

Thanks, Josie. Yeah, sometimes I think those faces in the video are there to distract from the vocal quality, so thanks for saying you like the vocal.

Enjoy whatever happens!
