Marty: thanks! You're too kind, as always. Glad I got the bad imagery out of your head, haha. And yes, "wax on" is the exact quote from exactly the correct movie smile - thanks so much for listening, and for such thoughtful comments ... again, as always!

David Cuny: a little secret: I sing whenever the harmony is simple enough for me to predict what chord is coming smile When I write complicated harmonies, which I sometimes do, I need to either write down the melody - in notation form, or else just talk, otherwise my voice will make a mess, over the complicated harmonies, since I don't know what chord's coming next. In other words, I'm a lazy so and so, who's too lazy to write the chord symbols over his lyrics. There is a way to do this in BIAB, I think, but I haven't discovered it yet, so ... hope this elucidates matters, somewhat, haha ... thanks for listening, anyway, and for your kind comments!

Janice and Bud: yes, good endings are always to be hoped for smile Thanks so much for your listening, and for commenting so kindly!

DC Ron: you're kind. Thanks!

Mario D: thank you so much. I am actually considering whether to write more songs, right now, or not ... and the reason for that is that I think my older songs are better, and I'm "hitting a wall", inspiration-wise, these days. Don't know what's happened, maybe I've said everything I have to say, for now, who knows. Anyway smile Ready to help with any painting jobs, though I ought to let you know that, in "real life", I'm a disaster at all things DIY ... musician's fingers and all that (or, at least, that's my excuse smile ) ... so, if you don't mind me making a complete mess of whatever you want me to paint, I'm ready to help! wink Thanks again for such amazingly kind comments!
