Alan,
it's a cracker.
I wouldn't change the lyrics or vocal - honestly both a just right for the music.
Good band & cool arrangement.
I enjoyed the long intro too.
There might be a need for some bits to fill in where the piano solo goes a little flat energy wise in it's 2nd half but apart from that the fuse is lit, and the band goes off.


Cheers

Hi Di and Al
Really good. really really good
The long intro is well done
The band plays excellent
And the vocals fit
Of course you could let someone else sing it
But I think you do it really well
And I found a mistake in the info text:
You write on the photo is Di 45 years.... it must mean 25 years !!!
Very great work
Viele liebe Grüße an euch zwei

Alan,

Wow! Love the groove and swing of this song. The production is just great.

Your vocal and phrasing is perfect and I would not change a thing.

Great picture of Di. Awesome project all around.

Loved it!

I really like this one. Really awesome backing track. I think your voice works fine for it it gives it a natural sound that is perfect for this type of sng.
My only suggestion is to pull back the horns during the verses to give the more room for your vocals to sit in the mix.
Great cut.

Thanks a bunch, Ray. I've already started reworking it. Your suggestions about lowering the horns in the verses and better filling-out the piano solo have already been addressed. I have a few more things to work on before reposting a revised version. Thanks for the great observations. Glad you otherwise enjoyed it. Best to you ...

Hi Bob ...

Thank you very much for the encouraging review! I'm in the process of touching it up a bit. I'm using Ray's suggestions. I'm also going to tweak to EQ of the vocal - I think there's a bit too much low end. I might also add a small touch reverb.

Again, thank you so much! Wishing you the very best ...

Alan

Hi Elliott ...

I'm delighted you liked the song. I've already pulled back the horns - plus a few other things. Thanks for the great suggestion. All the best ...

Terrific arrangement, Alan. Strong groove that cannot be ignored. Even sitting, my feet and head are dancing. Yeah, I'm with all the others saying the vocal is just perfect for the song, but bring it out more. Di is beautiful!!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Alan,

COOL Band!
Cool song.
Nice to hear the BIAB horns workin'...
Nothing wrong with the vocals - they work perfectly for the song. (personally), I'd drown them in a heavy slap-back delay...

Howdy Marty ...

You are much too kind. But I'll find a way to deal with it.

I appreciate your comments and input. And yep, Di is pretty easy on the eyes - still is! I just revised this with a bunch of improvements, if you're interested in hearing it.

Many thanks!

Alan

Thanks a bunch, Floyd. I just revised the song with your suggestion on the vocals and most of the other suggestions offered - all of them excellent. Let me know what you think if you get a chance to. Thanks!

Alan

PS: Let me know about the vocal delay. Audacity has multiple options for the delay. I tweaked them as best as my ear could discern. I kept the delay length somewhat short. Thanks again.

Alan
