Hey Bob,

They say good things come to those who wait.....Seven years later, and you finally realized the best 'Fiverr vocalist' was the guy sitting in your own chair! Honestly, hearing you deliver these lines, I’m convinced even Waits himself would be taking notes—or at least asking you for a cigarette. 😊

The Patterson sound bite is a clever bit of production flair, and it really glues the bluesy, brawling vibe of the song together. Between the New Orleans drums, that bari sax, you’ve built a real moody masterpiece here. My only complaint? I’m still waiting for a dash of your harmonica to seal the deal!

That original vocalist was just keeping the seat warm for you Bob and seven years later you’ve finally delivered the knockout punch!

Like Ron I was also wondering what a 'lum' was, but you've since cleared that up.

Seriously, you’re becoming the must-hear voice on this forum. 👏

Best, Izzy.
