Shigeki does such a wonderful job on the strings (as always) . . . add Mr. Bell's slick guitar playing and you've got a winning number. Sweet and engaging. Good stuff!

Thanks for noticing, Deej. I often try to make the melody develop so the verses are slightly different. On this one I actually had to change the chords in the 2nd V to make it work.

And the song also has the same feeling that a lot of songs from the great (and late) Robin Gibb. But because you are from Nashville you wouldn't understand that or comprehend you made some sort of BeeGees-song...

But to get you down on your feeth again. It isn't your best song ever. That has still to come!
I see so great progression with you and your songs, I can't wait to hear your 'best ever'. Till now they are all good and getting better al the time (free to the Beatles).

Shigeki made his best string composition ever and Dave, well... Dave is probably born being a lead guitarist. So good, but I'm glad the strings finally got the upper hand!

Thanks, Hans. I've been to Nashville and recorded there once --have friends there, but I'm 14 hours north of there. And fortunately The BeeGees songs found there way here, too. smile Seriously, thanks for your encouragement, my friend, and saying my best is yet to come. Perhaps that will be when we finally collab on that ocean-voyage song.

Enjoy whatever happens!
