You've created an authentic sound. It's always a pleasure to hear this genre of music. Good song. And there is no problem at all with the vocal.

Thanks Janne, for noting the title. I wasn't sure if it really worked or not, so it checked out okay for you.

Izzy, I should get your reviews engraved on a plaque and hung in my studio. They really are so well written, and so inspirational. Thanks for taking the time to write such lovely stuff about my modest material.

Thanks, Beth, for the positive review! I often have to stifle myself with the scrabble words when I'm songwriting. I gots quite the vocabulary, heh heh.

Thanks, Scott! Vocal encouragement is always appreciated. I have so many songs that I don't post because of the vocal. Hopefully, I'll find people to sing those songs, or else learn Synth V.

It's a cool, cool thing.
The vocals seems a little forward but may be as simple as rounding the edges with EQ.
There's some background noise before the song begins that might be worth clipping off OR treating if it flows through the song.
Your voice adds character to the song...probably needs just a little clip n blow dry to make it 100%.


Cheers

Bob, I am in no way a Jazz man (sorry!!) however I really did enjoy this, the tracking was just right imo, both your harmonica and vocals really worked well for me.

The lyrics are just the ticket

Thank you 👍👍

Regards

Pete

Oh, man, this is so special. Man, that harp player is amazingly perfect. Hey, Bob, I dig you singing it and rally can't hear it any other way. Love this one. Great arrangement and those 30s changes are perfect. Serioulsy, man, Toots would totally agree with us about how good your harmonica playing is. Keep writing these. Your style is perfect.


Enjoy whatever happens!

We enjoyed the many great rhymes - within and end of lines.

Love this line:
“But honey, it's funny, We're tighter than ever now, and
I need you like lovers require the moon”

Harmonica is excellent!

Your vocal is fine and fits the style and the lyric perfectly.
And it's all wrapped in a nice mix.

Delightful!
