Hi Janice, Bud and Peter.

This is such a great song.

Janice... Your vocals are awesome, awesome, awesome and then some. I really, really love the "talking to yourself" structure of the lyrics. I've never once thought to do this. You've taught an old dog a new trick. So, I'd better warn you, if a song appears in Users Showcase that has an internal monologue set up, you'll know exactly what inspired its creation. Some people might look at that as "stealing ideas" while other might see it as "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". From my perspective, though, and just like the song, I'm more in the middle ground and neither of those is really correct. My view is "never look a gift horse in the mouth and always acknowledge the giver of the gift".

Bud... Absolutely stunning lyrics. Every word is so true. The tongue-in-cheek humour approach to dealing with really difficult topics worked well for me. It's such a good way of handling confronting topics and getting people to think. This is a great write and an equally great arrangement. You have a fantastic knack for getting everything to sit together so sweetly.

Peter... You guitar work is fantastic and your solos leave no doubt in the listener's mind that you are one heck of a guitarist. I love what you did.

I wish you all a Happy Christmas and a fantastic 2024.
--Noel
