Hi, Dan. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement.

Thank you, Brad. Much appreciated.

Now that I know, I get the message.
Really good lyrics, music and vocals.
And the fills and solo are great!
Nice video too.

Hi, Anne-Marie. Me. too. The title came when I wanted to help lift someone from their slight depression, but I looked it up to make sure it would make sense. Thanks again.

Me too.

Marty, great concept + well delivered message. Ace bass, vocals and arrangement. It would not be the same without Dave. He got the special sauce.
Nice collab! Thank you for sharing.

Misha.


P.S.Competition to colonize mars, build cheaper cars, fancier phones... I wish big boys would concentrate more on working together to find ways to manage plastic and other wonderful waste, true recycle of materials and energy.

Thanks, Misha. Unfortunately those boys are considered big because they have all the money. I think us little people will have to do it all without them... and maybe redefine "big."


Enjoy whatever happens!
