Much enjoyed.

Thanks, Floyd. I like using BiaB as an action word, a verb. Yeah, it does a lot of the heavy lifting.

No matter what you do, you can't hide your positive nature, Marty.
Love the piano and your vocals, and there are some sexy bass lines.
Enjoyed my listens smile[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]
Thanks, Brain. A smiling protest historically gets nowhere. We need a song written by Thomas Paine and sung by Patrick Henry.

Great work as usual for the Lou Gehrig (Iron Man) of the forum.
Thanks, Bob. Actually it's 16 tracks plus percussion, but it can all be reduced to two. Since i mostly use my own creations instead of Toontracks', it can sometimes take a whole day to finish one. Gotta make sure the drummer only has 4 limbs. The 155th was iambic quatameter so it really shouldn't count, and none of them should ever be compared to The Bard, except in number. Now, i like the Lou Gehig tag, but my songs never make it out of the infield, let alone the park. Granddaughter Charley says i'm more like Hamilton in volume; yet again we see a huge gap in quality. hehe

"Hope springs eternal" is assuredly being put to the test.
But Janice reads beautiful optimistic quotes to Bud everyday! smile

J&B
Thanks, Janice & Bud. i know ya know. Wish everyone would start the day with a positive quote from Janice.

Who'd have thought a song could be made out of this idea.
Just goes to show what can be done.

Thanks, Vic. Change could start with that loaded doc?

Nice Latin groove and the piano solo fits well. Enjoyable bass playing and soulful vocals as always.

"Now's the time to to make the change", yep, you have shown how to do it and now we all will follow smile

Janne
Thanks, Janne. Yep, it's a shame too many seem to forget we're a species. Back in the day (hehe) when someone would bring home the kill for the tribe, there was always someone at the table who'd stuff as much as possible into his mouth and stuff more into his loin cloth for later, leaving some of the women and children hungry. It's unfortunate that those traits are what have been exponentially increased through natural selection.

Enjoy whatever happens!
