You are producing awesome music these days!

Loved it!

Thanks, Bob. Thanks also for mentioning the piano sounds, which to me sometimes seem more difficult than they should be.

Very nicely mixed, too.

Great development of your narrative. Think you did a superb job connecting the dots. Hey, it's only rock'n'roll, but I like it!
Thanks, Ron. Wish i had more control over those yodels. wink

I think we understand how finely balanced our democracies are, and how it’s incumbent on us all to protect what we have.
How on earth did you get 1243 listens on Soundcloud since 5 April? Well done and well deserved!
Andrew
Thanks, Andrew. Granddaughter Charley says, " 'Pinky Up' " is a better song. Yeah, wierd how that many people have listened. Always reminds me i wouldn't've made it as an AR guy. i thought the irreverant video would've put me on some FBI list, but the audio only hints at it.

You certainly are producing some fantastic music, and they all are winners.
Loved it
Thanks, Mario. When hands are that small only the middle one would be noticed. smile

Don't tell Mr.Dee, but i'm struggling with the current challenge. I know what I want to do and that's a tragic or mysterious feel. Just can't come up with the right lyrics and and a little used progression or one that hasn't been used before. No pressure, 3 & 1/2 weeks to the next meet!! Might be a while till my next upload.

Cheers Marty.
Thanks, Lee. Oh, K-Dub Ya. OK, W. Okay, W. You got this and i am really looking forward to your offerings. You two are fine songwriters.

Enjoy whatever happens!
