Registered: 05/22/11 Posts: 3495 Loc: Florida tommyad Veteran Registered: 05/22/11 Posts: 3495 Loc: Florida	Greg Johnson sent me this idea a while back. I added a verse and tweaked some things. It took a while for this to come together. It never felt right to me until I heard this Xtra style. This will be our entry in the contest.

The mix and its clarity are brilliant (that's always Tom's forte), the lyrics are incredibly well crafted, Tom's performance is a perfect fit and the melody & arrangement are spot-on. The back half of the chorus really appealed to me....

Excellent write, guys - start to finish. "that more than a few years of living brings" - nice. The whole write is Strong! Two strong verses, a strong chorus, an excellent bridge. It is easy to "wander off into cliché" in this type of song. Ya'll never even came close to doing that... Excellent production and mix. The Calypso drums were a perfect addition. A great listen. fj _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

As mentioned and I'm sure as anticipated there are Buffet vibes here...but they are stamped with a Tom vocal and production and a Greg/Tom write- and those are good things. The write seems so unpretentious -- just a loose genuine good time feel. There doesn't seem to be a lot of that any more...perhaps with Robert Earl Keen and a few others. Another cool collab and a strong entry into the contest! We enjoyed it. J&B _________________________ J&B Videos J&B Soundcloud J&B Website

(something like Buffet-Smuffet) this may be better than old Jimmie boy. Seriously this is an air tight mix, production top notch really good song. Enjoyed it. Kenny

Registered: 12/21/13 Posts: 6571 Loc: Davis, CA Greg Johnson Veteran Registered: 12/21/13 Posts: 6571 Loc: Davis, CA	Thanks for all the kind words! This song came to me when I was in my car. I was parking and heard some ad (annuity, or life insurance) with an acoustic guitar. As soon as the last chord faded, I heard the beginning of the chorus melody (In the morning I'll be heading out). When the melody popped into my head, Tommyad was singing it! I've been a huge fan of his since I started hanging around the forum. I put a verse, chorus, and a bridge melody idea (I think he came up with a better one), and sent him and MP3. He kindly agreed to take the handoff and run it in for a touchdown! It was a pleasure to collaborate. This forum is such a rich source of talent and creativity, as well as just plain great people. Take care. Greg
