Yea! A happy ending love song!
Your vocal was great at creating the longing and hopefulness of the song’s fella.
The video’s characters reminded Janice of Toy Story’s Woody and Jessie with their smiles. Cool!

As always, a strong band with great performances by you.
And Dave’s guitar was icing on the cake.

Nice mix and, man, your bass cuts through perfectly.
So many mixes are missing that.

Enjoyed it,

J&B
Thanks, Janice & Bud. Good, Woody & Jessie was the right idea. Sometimes i worry if the bass is too loud cuz i'm too proud or something, but usually there's nothing to be proud of. smile

After that this a well mixed and arranged classic of the Straubs.
Fab vocal, smooooooth bass holding things together and Dave doing his usual support/starring role.

Hi, Ray. Thanks. Ha, should've made him stand. i always say "starring" Dave. You don't want to hear these without him in them.

Thanks, Scott. We never would've thought anything like Charley did if we heard this song in the 50s or 60s.

Very nice melody. One of your best. Nice 50s flavor, but more musically sophisticated.

You are such a hopeless romantic, you old geezer.
Thanks, Scott. Peeping Tom? Heck, even Charley didn't mention that one. I like that "50s flavor, but more musically sophisticated."

Excellent songwriting that entertained me on a number levels. You have a creative flair that I envy. I'm a fan!

Thanks, Noel. Yeah, i like 12/8 too --any odd time signature, especially a combination of them. Envy is a waste of time, Noel, especailly when you as creative as you are. See you have another here, and that's where i'm headed.


Enjoy whatever happens!
