Oh wow. Thank you, everyone, for such incredibly kind comments - and, of course, for taking the time to comment. I am just a little "behind schedule" in listening to everyone's songs ... but I shall remedy that, one song at a time smile

Regarding the "alabaster" line: I really should have written it as follows: "Your skin (so soft), like alabaster" ... i.e. separating the softness of the skin from the alabaster-like quality, which (as David Cuny correctly surmised) refers to the colour of the skin, not to its soft quality. But yes - it's a clumsy way of writing, anyway! Argh ... I will have to see how I can change that, if it CAN be changed! I will think on it ... otherwise, I'll just correct the lyrics, as above, and claim poetic licence, haha wink Thanks for pointing this out, though!!!

Janice and Bud, thanks for reminding me that I can, apparently, sing! haha. I'll try, maybe next time? I'm not that confident in my vocal register, nor in my capacity to write good melodies. But, if you guys like it, that's good enough for me smile

Mario and Vic: yes, perhaps I can lower the guitar volume in the spoken parts! See, that is why it's so good to share songs on here ... people come up with wonderful ideas that one mind alone can let slip by smile Thanks!

Marty: way too kind, as always. Thank you.

And, of course, thanks to PG Music smile
