Loved it!

Thanks, Bob. I just realized I'm not versed enough in Chapin songs --keep thinking of cats and cradles,, but I'm happy for the reference.

Haha. Maybe you like corny... I care. Thanks, Ron. Glad you picked out the banjo. I knew it would be odd to go with the horns, especially cuz I couldn't get it to play like Bela. But I like how it gave a lift to the second verse.

Carl
Thanks, Carl. You're right, or at least I agree, heartfelt can't be corny.

Thanks, Laurent. Kindness seems to still be in the world, but it doesn't sell well for news channels. hehe
