The a cappella opening is great.
As is the counterpoint singing in the outro.

The lyric fits you to a T as you are THE forum “cheerer upper!” 😊

Simply cool all round … vocals, band, write, arrangement, mix and video.

Most cool!
Thanks, Janice & Bud. You guys are champion racers and will never be outrun. "Cheerer upper" huh? Just giving back what I get here. Thanks for cheering me up, too.

Thanks, Dan. Dang, I am thoroughly blown away by the amount of production you are getting out of your four new vocal groups. You are the Willy Wonka of ear candy.

Thanks, Arri. Ha, seems I bring in a banjo whenever possible. The flavor it adds is unlike any other instrument. Well, you know that.


Enjoy whatever happens!
