I think a lot of us have been that road at least once. Although there was quite a bit going on with the various vocals, it sounds so tight and clean. And your vocal delivery carried the message pretty danged good. And the band is outstanding - excellent choice of style and use of the players.

I say this a lot, but here goes again - I always like your music. And what I like about it most is that it's always entertaining. That's what I want a song to do for me. You do it in spades.

Thank you, Alan. You flatter me with your kind words. But I kind of like it. smile

I also like the concept of music aspiring to be "always entertaining". That really speaks to me.

THANKS, Tom! My brother is always coming up with interesting rhymes (and half rhymes, etc). Keeps it fun for me and hopefully the listener.

The main progression in the verse and chorus consists of several variations on E-A-C-D, which has a cool, disorienting feel to me. Thought that matched the narrator's POV pretty well, too.

Glad you enjoyed the tune!

Well done, Ron!

Thank you, Rob. Have observed it enough to believe it's not uncommon for memory loss to seem oddly and frequently cruelly selective.

Thanks as well for the compliment on the vocals. They take a bit of work. But with that work, I feel like I'm singing better than I ever have. Practice makes imperfect, I guess. Think the genre for my "genre specific" voice is probably called "dumb pop songs by Ron and his brother". Ha!
