Well...me and the kids (Hayden and Natalie) are still at it...I'm happy to announce that they have given their virtual hearts to Jesus and decided to become gospel singers...so Hayden picked out a song I wrote forty-some years ago to share and the trio of Hayden and Natalie and Hayden (I'm going to hire a third member as soon as I can afford them...maybe Kevin...I like Kevin).
Anyway a simple song, a simple message and a complicated recording session has produced this...I hope you all like it...Dan

Ron...it's really kind of fun and I love to hear other voices (other than mine) sing the songs even if they aren't actual people...but I do get my way (a producer's dream come true)...thanks...Dan

You are a multi-talented musician my friend!

Simple but effective arrangement that works very well.
Good use of the kids, I especially love these harmonies.
Even if you don't sing, the vocal arrangement says "Dan Simmons".
You can't hide it smile

Wow, Dan. Everyone worries that synth will take over, but you have converted them. AND you have a great trio to help you spread the word. Nice. Man, you are already so good at working them into a wonderful gospel group. Love the song, and your knowledge and use of harmony. Superb.


Enjoy whatever happens!
