Every "break" in the voice is a break in a heart.


Thanks, ray. I get the mellow thought. I went with the original tone from the RT thinking it provided some contrast (the the most mellow arrangement/tracks)

I wrote my first song at 14, so nothing from 4.
It was pretty bad. Typical beginner's generic/cliched lyrics. But, oh!, what a melody!!! smile smile smile

Much appreciated, Dewey....

He was always one of my favorites for many years. But you leave me with many of the pleasures I enjoyed when listening to him. I think that's a very fitting analogy.

A small suggestion, FWIW:


yea, there's some *age* in my eyes - yeah, got some *years* in my eyes


Just a very small, probably insignificant thing, but it crossed my mind. But, there's not a thing wrong with it as written. Feel free to ignore.

This is another stellar song. I miss this style of music. Thanks for continuing to give it life.

Alan



Thanks, Alan. Ed was a great one! for sure...
Thanks for the suggestion (I prefer "age", though)
