Hi Janne, Bud and Janice,

It took me some time to reply on your posts, but here I am.
Initially; thank you very much for your messages and the words you have used. I couldn't find mine for a while (silly joke, I fear).

The arrangement is once again interesting, from the nice acoustic intro to the vibes and oohs there is lovely nostalgic feel. The bridge gives time to breathe. And then some electric candy in the solo that fits surprisingly well.
Catchy melody and rhythm. Great vocals and great work with the backing vocals. Your voice sounds still like a 30 year old youngster, but with a lot of life experience smile

Hi Janne, well, your words are beautiful!!! Now I've lost mine again... to a man!
I wish I can behave (or sing) some more time as a youngster with a carload of experience ;-)

She says she became a “Junior Senior” at 65 and will remain so until age 70. 😉
And Bud says he's a Senior Senior.

Love the song lyric, performances, mix and video. (Welcome back, John!)
Solo is very good and the Vibes sound so happy
The video images made us smile - love the laughing flowers and the close up of the smiling woman.
Loved it!

Hi Bud and Janice, yes I am the one in the middle...
Now that I have your attention, I want to tell you that I'm really sorry that I realized your birthday too late. I still had to process mine...
And Marty told me first something in my vocals reminded him of John L. Then I knew I had to keep that in the song, because of you!
But my wife, family and myself, never discovered a John vibe in my vocals... We are too critical, I fear.
Thanks for your smile for the video. I used AI in Canva to give me singing and smiling daisies. Took me hours and had to reject a lot of them. AI was so stupid here...
But the woman did good, even that wink!

Till our next songs,
Hans
