Re: AI, I don't know if you're a singer, but one of the benefits of technology is that it allows a person with ideas to be able to express them, whereas in years gone by, you'd have to hire a session muso to express that for you. To some extent, the AI vocal is the equivalent of me using the BIAB drummer because I can't play drums myself. This would allow those with ideas that would have previously remained silent to now share their creations with others. It reminds me of a quote from Henry Van Dyke: "The woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best."

While listening, I wondered 'What constitutes country music?' If you removed the steel guitar, and replaced the vocal with a British Liverpudlian accent, you'd have Gerry and the Pacemakers!
Andrew, thank you for stopping by. Somehow Ferry Across The Mersey doesn’t work for me as a country tune. But I guess our backgrounds tend to shape what we hear in songs because it’s all so cross pollinated. I enjoyed your quote. Keep creating, Tom
