Thanks Beth! Based on that, it would’ve been simpler for me to give you 4 minutes of the synth bass pumping out an A note! Ha ha! Seriously, glad you liked it. XTC – it might be my occasional Brit accent which I tried to consciously suppress on the song. I felt in the earlier version, my accent almost came out in a ‘Cor blimey guv’na’ kind of way.

Nice arrangement. Terrific combination of BIAB and Andrew.
Very cool vocals.
Nice mix.
Well done.
Thanks Floyd. Honestly, I don’t know where I’d be without BIAB. Bedroom strumming I guess. I do try to create strong melodies within my 1 and 1/8th octave range. Thanks for listening!

Thanks Marty! I have a few songs in my back catalogue that I am looking to record. The forum response to the evolution information has been positive, so where there is a story, I’m going to tell it again in future.

One of your best.
Thanks Mario! I can remember thinking it was a good’n when I first wrote it, but didn’t have the tools or experience to record it. I am sure I will be in good company when I say I hope there will be more pleasing songs in my future writing.
Andrew
