Marty,
You didn't have to say Dave's name at all, and I still would have known who it was! He's a great blues guitarist! Your vocals and bass playing are really good here as they always are! You just keep cranking out great tunes and I love it!
Thanks, T

Hi Marty,
You made a very nice song with wonderful lyrics. I'm impressed (again)!
And the vocals are marvellous. Like what you need while singing the Blues.
Dave was also doing a very good job on the intro and solo. Man, delicious!
Now I understand you were sooo busy at the end of last year.
I enjoy the song a lot,
Hans
Thanks, Hans! Very kind. It was more busy with Charley --which is a good thing. I'd say you BOTH hit this one OUTTATHEPARK!!
Killer.
An Excellent write. Your best yet.
Well song.
Nice tracks.
Dave's guitar is some of his best, too.
ZOWIE. this is good.
Home. Run.
fj Thanks, Floyd. Back to back homers then? WOWZERS! That's a HUGE compliment, my friend. Howdy Marty.... I'll echo all other comments. Very pensive & moody with great axe work by Dave. It has a Santana vibe to it....who wouldn't like that!  Vox is good too....wish I hold notes like that. (in my wildest :)) Well done collaborators. Carry on.... Thank, Wayne. I started the morning off with "Be Careful What You Wish For." Such a good song. Man, you're right about Santana AND Dave. Great sound on this one. Dave’s guitar tone has never been better and his playing is extra good. Marty your vocal is definitely among your best. The mix is excellent and the write makes some very interesting points which make it easy to return for repeated listens. Bravo, Tom Thanks, Tom. Much appreciated.

Ha...starting out the day with "a cautionary tale" can be a gamble. Many thanks for giving a listen and the kind YT comment. Hope all is well....back to it.

Marty,
Bluesy and moody right out of the gate. Dave’s guitar playing really sets the stage and your vocal keeps the vibe going. Impressive write and I like the juxtaposition of loss and gain—creative write there. Stellar mix!
I had to laugh regarding your comment on how you put an album line up together. I do the exact same thing. I need a lead-off hitter on that first track . . . something to get the album going . . . than a reliable number two . . . a song to just put the ball in play and set the table . . . third up, something that will drive the ball to the gap . . . and then, as you note, that slugger in the 4 spot to drive them all in! Though sadly, I often have too many pitchers hitting in my lineup, LOL!
Good stuff, you two. You’ll have to remind us when the album comes out!
All my best,
Deej

Superb Job, kinda reminds me of the old school, the Doors!! The guitar solo was fantastic, Well done!!
Thanks, Ronnie. The Doors, huh? Dave fits in with any song quite amazingly. Nicely done by Dave on the guitar.
I like the play on Loss and Gain.
Well done both.
Vic Thanks, Vic. The solo has a nice sting - some BB style and emtion.
The vocal is sssssssssssssssssssssssmmmmmmmmmmmmmooooooooth with the occasional catch of emotion.
Well written lyrics, cool structure & progressions.
It's TIP TOP excellent.
Oh, man... first thing I noticed in your comment was all the Ss, and I figure there's a lot of sibilance I missed. I'm highly influenced by you, Ray. Always appreciate your thoughtful comments. Thanks. "Somewhere in the loss you'll find the gain." A genuinely creative way to refer to the proverbial silver lining. Excellent! Fine vocals, bass and Dave knocks that solo outa the park. Guess he was up fourth No need to parse it out. Excellent production and video to present it all. As Janice said, slowly rocking to the tune, "the whole thing is smooth..." Indeed. Sublime, J&B Thanks, guys. Seems I've been a Sophist all my life, seeing both sides as the coin flips, and arguing both positive and negative scenarios when it lands. Man, I'd love to watch you guys as you listen to these songs.

Hi Marty, Love your vocals. Great production and chord progression.
Cheers
Mike B. Thanks, Mike. You are definitely one of my favorite band leaders. I didn't think I'd like this one, from the first couple of notes - teach me to judge a book by its cover. I'm glad I stuck with it. Man, this is absolutely brilliant. Dark, grim and brilliant. Special mention to Dave, his solos are like "wow, did he just do that?" :-) . Absolutely loved every aspect of this song, particularly its darkness, and - somehow - its redemptive qualities despite that. Anyway, I know you for far happier songs, on the surface, so it's really great to hear this, and hear you do something like this. Now I know, when it comes to you, to always stick with the song, and give it and you a proper chance before moving away :-) I'm glad I did. Bravo, bravo. Haha, thanks so much, James. Glad you came around. I knew if you'd wait for Dave's solo, you'll love the song (at least part of it). To me the song is as bright as it is dark-- hope in the hopelessness. Really good song, liked the lyrics and the singing was primo. Dave killed it on guitar, of course. Great package, especially when you get a video to boot. Thank you, Bob. We've gotta get your harmonica in one of these songs. Hi Marty and Dave
Very good song
Sounds extremely good
Vocals, bass and background track are excellent
But the solo of Dave is unbelievable good
Excellent work
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Thanks, Andi. Yes, having Dave in a song is like having Duane Allman or Slowhand Clapton in the studio. Those 3 can make any song better.

Derochette
alias JaniJackFlash Thanks, Derochette. I'm going to have to search for your recent songs because I think I must have missed one or two. Always such a treat. Marty,

Thanks, T Yes, most folks here know Dave by sound (including taste, tone and creativity), but I always add the Blue Attitude moniker in case someone is yet unfamiliar. This way they can find more of his own stuff. Thanks, Torrey! Thank, Wayne. I started the morning off with "Be Careful What You Wish For." Such a good song. Man, you're right about Santana AND Dave. Howdy Marty.... Ha...starting out the day with "a cautionary tale" can be a gamble. Many thanks for giving a listen and the kind YT comment. Hope all is well....back to it. Ah, I know your music well enough to know I can push play without any concern for my safety, Wayne. heehe Great bluesy guitar, smokey vibe and a terrific write. Good music! Thanks, David. I find myself quoting you a lot these days.

All my best,
Deej Thanks so much, Deej. Yeah, you get it. HAHA, too many pitchers. I also coached some Little League where the pitchers were likely your shortstop and best hitter, too. But with 18 and 19 year olds they were becoming specialized. Thanks to everyone that mentioned my part in this great song that Marty wrote, very much appreciated!
And most of all thanks to Marty for the music and the friendship. You are WAY more than welcome, Dave. It's odd that such a good friendship can be forged without ever being in the other's presence.
