Your vocal is great and Shigeki’s string arrangement was lovely.
And we really liked the opening with the piano

This is one of those songs for which it's not necessary to parse out everything.
Just use the time to listen again.

Heartfelt soul to the max,

Both of your mamas would've really loved my mom. Dad and I played piano together --much fun. Thanks, Janice & Bud.

Thanks, Scott. Yeah, my vocals are usually shakey, but there were times in this one where it was even worse. Man, you're right about Shigeki's contribution. Love that guy and what he can do to make a song so much better.

Enjoy whatever happens!
