A fantastic narrative, bear hug vocals and an arrangement that isn't cluttered in the slightest.
Excellent.
Oh, you're so right, my bottom-end friend. I love the baritone, but we have to get along. Thanks, Ray. I like that "bear hug vocals."

Loved it.
Thanks, Mario, and thanks for noticing he bass line. Bass lines (usually) should be subtle, but if you take them out, the song is lost without them. But, man, you already know that so well.

Well, you started with a great title, and it only got better from there.

You sound great, and you're fun to listen to.

We never will again pay that cost.

Ha! It took a second for my brain to unravel that. Nice wordplay.
Ha, you know the drill, David. Come up with chords and a Style to match, then start strumming while singing nonsense until something catches (usually in the chorus for the hook), and then we write a song around that. Sheesh, what to write after that is sometimes the biggest challenge. There's only 2 ways to go after already saying goodbye.

A good song, with good guitar play and vocals!

Haha. Yeah, it was 2 months ago. Thanks for saying so again, Hans. Today Charley is off to NYC to see Hamilton. Like him, I seem to be writing like I'm running out of time. I have 17 new ones ready with videos that haven't been posted and a bunch more in various stages of creation. Still waiting for my Dutch partner to join me.

Thanks, Floyd. If ya ever pass through this area, I'd love for you to etch that into my bass. It's been a bit, but I think that guitar fit in without hardly any regenerating --even the fills.

Enjoy whatever happens!
