Thanks, Torrey

There were couple of spots where the slight whistling S was emphasized by the reverb but that's small beer.
Those harmonies are double plus good and Bell rings a little neck for the gruesome solo.

A wonderful song and, like Mario wrote, perfect for Haloween.
What imagination you had while camping with your son!

I like the tempo changes in the song and how the chorus developed.
And the harmonies in the chorus are very nice!
Of course I cannot unmentio the guitar solo from Dave, one word: Great!!!

Loved it, Marty,
Hans

Excellent "creepy" vocal and some inventive "horror" evoking guitar by Dave.

Good catchy chorus and you and Janice blend nicely. Always a plus to get Janice on board.

Great stuff.

Peter

Thanks, Peter. horror evoking. I like that. Yes, having Janice onboard will always right the ship, and I hear you have a new one with her, too. SO cool.

Haha. Small, huh? I know you could do this part one-and-done, but the result is anything but small, Janice.

Thanks, Bob. It wasn't originally intended as a Halloween song, but that became the working title.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks for all of that, Janne. Thanks for also watching the video.

Thanks, Leon. So you know first-hand what it's like. I've had squirrels find their way into the attic. Live and let live and all, but we put a stop to that.

I know, right? It's just like Hollywood to not give it a name, except critter. Thanks, Vic!

Thanks, Derochette. Inspiration comes from many sources. I thought of your often while putting this together. You could have done this whole piece without words or vocals and told the whole story even better.

Haha, Thanks so much, Alan. I read your comment a couple days ago, too, and am just now getting to thank you, and say right back atcha, man.

Thanks, Scott. That tempo change made it kind of a random thing for coming back in with the vocals. Janice seems to have had no problem, but I had a couple do-overs.

Thanks, Greg. In this world of music moguls, hits are made after the song is distributed. Last night I listened to some of your songs and Torrey's new album. Man, this place has all the hits I'd ever want to hear and they keep coming. You take care, too, Greg.

Now, that was fun Marty! I love your stuff. Funny or serious, it's all so original. This would be a great one for a camp out or Halloween! The overall production was so good, it must have been difficult mixing in everybody's talent, but you sure did it right!
