Actually, Dan, Barb rarely even hears my songs, although she constantly hears some of the lines from them. She knows how I feel without sending her flowers. wink I really appreciate your comment (I think), and your listen. [More than that, I'm thrilled you want to do a song together.]

Great line!

Nice things to hear here - vocals, guitar and strings. Love the guitar slide at 2:16.

I enjoyed the listen. laugh

Thanks for stopping by, David. That's cool that you picked up on that line. Many songs start out with things I just say to Barb. IT'S REALLY COOL how you picked up on the (what I call) "Johnny Whoops!" slide of Dave's. He never ceases to amaze me with the little things he adds that are so perfect.

I can hear why this was difficult..the end result is cool - the strings are both charming and expressive.
I don't know how to say this Marty - turn your voice UP!
Dave & Shigeki have given this the top shelf polish it deserves.

HAHA!! That's what I keep saying to you, Ray. Turn you vocal up. Sometimes I feel like the strings or the whole ensemble-swells are overwhelming the vocal, but I defer to what sounds better.

Enjoy whatever happens!
