You're kidding right Marty? You did an excellent job on the vocals here. Your pitch is spot on! I love the song, it's a beauty! I know what you mean about having to have some patience dealing with those soloist tracks to get the right sound, but man you make it work here. It flows really well! Loved the key change...very effective!

Thanks, Torrey

Thanks, Torrey. Not kidding about the singer, but I'll give it up. Yeah, that key change is to show the singers rising desperation.

This is an excellent song - love the arrangement and the sax is great. Shades of Gerry Rafferty... Very nice!

Awesome vocal and the production is wonderful. Great, great mix.

Loved it!

Wow. Thanks so much, Bob.

And that's a killer sax solo!

The only small nitty-gritty I have is slowing down the end of the solo, I think just letting the solo slowly fade while you start singing would make the flow more consistent.

But that's just nitpicking, I already love it how it is now smile

Thanks, BD! Very helpful comment. I always like to hear how others would do it differently, and I learn a lot from it. In this case, I like the change in tempo; it's as if the singer is filling his lungs to belt out the last plea of desperation.

Really nice melody, and your vocal sounds great.

I wouldn't have minded playing on this one just so you know wink Although the sax guy did a good job for you.

Thanks, Dave. You're always so accommodating and I often feel like I'm taking advantage of our friendship or something. Yes, you would've saved me hours and came in with a far better solo --hey, it's not too late. wink

A good vocal!
Love of the Bass (of course).
A really nice melody.
A very good mix.

Yes, one of your best.

Thanks, Floyd. At least one side seems to want to elevate the relationship, but the girl has yet to write her song.

Enjoy whatever happens!
