Great arrangement - loved those string parts
Outstanding vocal and mix

Your kind words are like a shot of Schnapps on a cold day – warming and full of delightful surprise! That you, a connoisseur of all things musical, enjoyed my little jaunt into "Bland Balladville" is a victory in itself. Your comment about the arrangement and mix made my day.
After I show her your comments Maybe Gerda will forgive my near-total lack of blues credentials now and let me back in the house. Maybe!
Best Regards
Izzy.
