Your vocal is stellar and has such an emotional touch. I really like what you have been doing with your vocals lately. What an awesome sound!

EXCELLENT!

Thanks so much, Bob. Since bands always wanted me to play bass, I never sang. If I made demos it was for someone else to sing. Lately I've actually been practicing these songs for at least a month before pushing Record. Thanks for saying that, man.

This is a wonderfully positive message of two people taking ownership of the past yet jointly deciding to find a better way that honours each other. Good vocal as well, and thanks for the image effort on the video to illustrate the lyrics while listening.

Thanks, Andrew. Whoops. I also forgot the piano and organ; it's now corrected. I really like your description of the song, too. Image effort these days is more about coming up with the right prompt.

P.S. I dig that cool cartoon avatar, aka profile pic.

Thanks, Ron. (Thanks for also listing your RTs; big help in finding the right acoustic for another song.) Sorry for the omission but the soloist, organist and pianist have been added. It was the heartbreak they felt that brought them back together.

Right from the opening, the chopping rhythm catches the ear. Strong vocal on this too, your vocal really suits this slower Americana style. Good storytelling lyrics.

Excellent job. Kind regards.
Happy to hear that, Lee. Thanks much!


Enjoy whatever happens!
