Thanks, Scott. I really wish I filmed Charley rehearsing for her lines. I often say The best stuff never gets recorded.

Very clever lyrics and, yes, lies by politicians (in your part of the world and mine) are a real problem.
Great vocals (lead AND harmonies), great band (good to hear some banjo) and top class production. Video was impressive too.
Cheers,
Mike
Thanks, Mike. I know next to nothing about politics, except that its rarely good for all but the politicians. Glad you liked my attempt at political humor.

Thanks, Peter. It saddens me that you didn't go all head-over-heels for my solo. HAHAHA.

But Charley was very convincing in it.
Well... you too!
I gave my impression on YouTube, but with pleasure I do it here too.
Very nice song and lets be glad that woman vanished ;-)

Hi, Hans. Unfortuantely I have no idea what woman you're referring do, and I'm not being facecious. I have little to no knowledge of politicians, just a cynical understanding of the requirements. Charley makes everything better. Now, that is one gal I can talk about all day.

Your music is always so clever and wellk done.

Your vocal is great, and Charley deserves a pat on the back for a great contribution.

Best to you,

Alan
Thanks so much, Alan. Charley is thrilled at all of the comments about her.

I think you're a master of this kind of music.
There are a lot of interesting expressions in English, like "li'l lies to lilies," but with Google translations, most of them gets lost, and I feel so sorry that the original fun of your lyrics can't be fully appreciated.
But it can't be helped, as my English skills are not good enough.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks, Shigeki. I wish I was better at translating, but you speak the universal language of music better than most. Yeah, sometimes Google needs to translate feel instead of meaning.

Enjoy whatever happens!
