Beth, Thank you. That's very kind and appreciated by both of us. Yes, I typically pull tracks from different styles to get the sound I'm looking for. I've also been adding more of my own acoustic & electric guitar tracks lately. I've been using Vocal Rider for years now - could not do without it.  Bob

Hi Bob.
My gosh! You and Joliz really shine brighter than the noon-day sun with this song. It is amazing. I absolutely love the lyrics, and they are showcased by a superb arrangement and a really, really mesmerising duet with you and Joliz. In every way, this is music making at its finest.
I'm a huge fan of you both!
--Noel

I usually take notes as I listen, in order to be able to comment on the relevant song. Not this time. Just listened.
GENIUS.

Bob & Joliz,
Really cool opening. Neat story telling tune. I like how spoken word transitions into singing. Clear mix and listens wells.
I like how your collaboration with Joliz is evolving over time. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful as usual, Bob!
You're a star in my book, just as good or better than anyone else out there doing it.
Tip of the hat to Joliz as well, your two voices blend well together.

Once again we are transported to the scene in your lyric.
We can sense those tired street lamps around us.
All meaning ... excellent write!
You and Joliz always sound great together.
Her background humming added a nice lilt to your storytelling.
Excellent BiaB session players along with your guitar.
That was a fine RT guitar soloist.
As always we love your open mixes. Those dynamics are standout.
Great drum sound also. Thanks for the production data.
Well done y’all!

Another exquisite example of your amazing storytelling. The lyrics tell the story very nicely painted in melancholy and nostalgia. Your poetic voice even in the spoken parts is nicely detailed, the way you say "yeah" is simply wonderful. And the chorus is simple and catchy, sounding like written effortlessly.
The choice of instruments is once again perfect, how they support the story is mesmerizing. The organ and the rhythm guitar work greatly together and the mix is pleasure to listen to. Joliz completes this trip to your unique world across the Atlantic.
Janne
