Hey, Mario and Noel! Wow, I didn't expect responses like these!

Marilyn Simone is on AirGigs at https://www.airgigs.com/online-vocalist-for-hire/97341/Soulful-Alto-Vocals. She's very friendly and gives you every kind of track you could ask for.
Robert Quigley and Bob Bentley are both part of a seven person songwriting group we formed from being on Broadjam. We call ourselves "The Rising Tide (Lifts all Boats)."
Just minutes after you listened, Joel, I uploaded the song with a few mixing tweaks that I'm happier with. Except for the midi strings I played towards the end of the song, all the instruments are Band in a Box, which changed my whole musical life!

Mario, many thanks! I copied your response so Robert could see it. I know he'll be thrilled! I got a chuckle out of Bob Bentley's response the very first time he heard the tune: "Very catchy...as usual." When I started writing songs when I was 21, I wanted to write catchy pop songs. I thought I could attract girls that way. Didn't work. But I was and still am an awful guitar player. It's too bad Band in a Box wasn't around back then! Then we talked about changing the lyrics and that's where Robert came in.

Noel, thank you very much! Funny thing, when I first wrote the tune I didn't think it could be a Motown type of song. I realized it when I got Band in a Box. One of my favorite things to do at the end of a song and it's getting to be a habit is to make the last four measures of the strings an octave higher which makes the emotion of it climax. I'll have to look for some of your songs, too!

Best to both of you! John
