Bob, an outstanding song with a positive message - brilliant.
Super vocal and harmony.
Super backing band and mix.
I really liked this one.
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Thanks, Beth, glad you liked the song!
I agree that it’s nice to hear positive messages in these trying and divisive times - despite my song’s reminders of our impending mortality ;-)
If you’re ever interested in hiring the singer, he’s on Fiverr under the name Richko. He’s from South Africa. I like how the people I find on Fiverr are from all over the world. On my first album, Looking Back, I hired singers from the Philippines, Argentina, the UK and Austria - as well as Richko from South Africa, who sang on 8 of the 15 songs.

A message that many should heed. Too many treating others with disdain and discourtesy. You've got the perfect band for this tune. Sweet BGVs.

Bob,
Really nice warm sound to this, and thus very engaging. Love the vocal, and some killer harmonies. A toe-tapper for sure. Great use of the mandolin on the fills . . . great choice of solo instrument on the fiddle. And as a lover of a good bridge, enjoyed what you did here. Excellent tune!!
Regards,
Deej

Thanks Deej, glad you liked it!
Richko is my "go-to" singer on Fiverr, he always comes up with some nice vocals and harmonies for my songs.
And it's fun to "audition" different instruments for the instrumental breaks. I can usually find something I like, even if I sometimes have to edit the solos.
Regards,
Bob

Great song, love the message contained in the lyrics, love the band and the overall bounce of the whole thing.
Not a very technical 'review', granted, but I really did enjoy this!
