The fiddle lead was a surprise - totally unexpected, yet fits like a glove.

I think a lot of us can relate to the story in the song - especially those of us who have turned many pages on the calendar. I'm closer to 80 than I am to 70 - yikes!

Loved the ending. Everything about this is exceptional. Your songs are always interesting and so well done! Great song!

And a shout out to Ray for his input. I've collabed with ray on several songs and found him great to work with.

Hope the surgery went well! Wishing you a quick and full recovery.

Alan


I liked what you wrote, Alan!
You just way too sweet, I wanted to say, but that's the title of your song.
Yes, back in 2019 I wrote "I have a stranger in my house, he's wearing my blouse"
Ray told me a blouse is meant for women shirts, not for men.
And that left me with the problem of what proper words rhyme with 'House' here...
Than he came in with some lyrics to use. Most are now in this song.

The operation was and still is a tough process to go through. I never expected it to be this difficult.
It will certainly take a long time to recover, unfortunately...
But that's the way it is, Alan.

Give my best wishes and a smile to Di. Don't know if she understands them, but the smile she will notice, don't you think?
Hans
