Howdy Rob....Marty....Misha and Elliott.
Misha....
Ha....I read your mind and was awaiting that suggestion.

Sometimes, I just don't care for that 'pop' mix vox being so up front.
Thanks for giving a spin and thoughtful suggestion.
It's always appreciated.
Marty....
We're pleased you dig it.
TBH....I didn't know if the subject matter/lyrics would stick against the forum wall.
I had apprehensions but worked up my courage, finally.

Rob....
Glad you found it worthy of your time....thank you.
Your latest one is a very good write with great imagery.
Elliott....
EDIT: "Sounds like a live track that you recorded at a bar gig."
Good catch Elliot....to create that perception was quite intentional.
I deferred the FINAL MIX decision to Ken at his studio.
He sent me the first mix and I suggested putting a "a slight Room 2 reverb on the stereo mix" because I prefer to hear music rendered as if it was in a "live club" venue.
Guess I'm stuck in my
live band days era.

Oh jeez....I'm an idiot.
I fixed the Soundcloud link but, for the life of me, since Soundclick's new format I can't figure out how to just show
the song page itself.....I've tried everything I can think of.
Guess I'm not the brightest bulb.

Many thanks for taking the time to listen and kind comments.
Thanks again to all of you for listening/commenting.
Have a great weekend everyone.
