I'm a fan of mandolin, dobra, and well written lyrics. All the check marks ticked here! Well done Marty!

Thanks, Dave. When writing this I was thinking of us playing on it, but... well, I needed it to fil out the last album. Still would like to hear our version.

Thanks, Mike. I no I ain't no singer, but I'm thrilled you liked the song anyway.

Fine write and supporting video indeed.

Great band and your vocals sit in most nicely on our monitor soundstage.

The dobro was an excellent choice.
Hey, Bud said he oughta ship you his upright since he so rarely plays it smile

YES!

Well done!

Sorry, guys, I have no idea what you're talking about.

--Okay, I'm back. Just kidding. Your comments always make me feel better. Bud, thanks for the offer, but... I used to have an upright, but it was either sell it or buy a bigger car. I play sitting down now. I've seen a couple acoustic players play on stools, but I know I'd get lost in the music and fall off.

Thanks, Dan. I like that pun metaphor "tasty to my buds." Yes, you get the message. Unfortunately the only ones to likely get it are those who already understand it.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Spot on message, Marty!

I like the jaunty instrumentation: an uplifting tune for a seemingly hopeless situation today. Turn off that radio.

Vocal sounds good!

Marty, this song explains today's situation so well that I think our government so be forced to hear it.

The lyrics are just so good that they scare me!
Great vocal and backing band.
IMHO this is your best to date.

Loved it.

Misha.

Ah, you say Gypsy swing, I hear Django Reinhart. Thank you so much for your kind words, my friend.

Thank you, Donny! I was never a singer because I couldn't really play and sing at the same time. hehe My best quality now is knowing how and when to punch-in. smile

Thanks, Dewey! BiaB has some fine dobro and mandolin tracks, and I seem to go to them a lot.

Hi BabuMusic,

Your composition is really well done both in terms of the lyrics and the melody. I didn't know you made videos of such quality. Well done. I really enjoyed it.

Awesome tune Marty. What a cool groove. I was just chatting with Robert the other day. I was telling him how amazed how he cool it was to be able to come up with so many excellent lyrics. Cool talent to have. This applies to you and allot of members in the forum. Loved the dobro. Cool add to the song.

Thanks, Scott. Yeah, I kinda believe people have been trained to become too self-centered for "the good of all" to have any meaning.

Thank you, Mario. Yeah, politicians would likely die out if communication only ever revealed the truth.

Good message, sad but true, too much talking and too little thinking, the loudest voice wins. I wish that one day people could ask AI the third opinion and the logic would be something we couldn't argue against, but we are not there yet.
Enjoyed the band which has nice old European folky feel. The solo guitar is a good selection. And your voice fits also this style. Nice chord progresssion especially in the bridge.
