HI Kenny,
What we've enjoyed about your music recently is the variety in style. You have a real nice mix of laid back and high energy in this one. Your guitar work sounds great and your gritty voice gives this a pleasant but biting edge. As always, we enjoyed uit a bunch. Best to you.
Alan & Di
PS: Happy Friday to you, too!

Kenny, Nice one! There`s a loose rocking feel to this that reminded me of post-Beatles McCartney and the happy vibe is complimented by those harmonies- love the whoops! Very enjoyable.

Very cool sound on this, Kenny.
The guitars all work nicely together.
A powerful rock vocal. The woop is great! (seems some "breakup" with the harmonies on "sunny.." - though that might be an accumulation of "rasps").
You are on a tear. And always SO catchy. you have a real knack for that (the way Elvis Costello always did).

Kenny, Very nice rock song. Well composed as always. We do think however that the mix has slightly too much hi frequency in it. But that's just a small nit Rob and Anne-Marie

Robert Robert, I appreciate that, wow! McCartney (I wish) I was trying to convey joy, thanks for noticing the whoops I was happy that I wouldn't have to sing it again! I think an upbeat, happy, simple love song is hard to write maybe the hardest for me, so I really appreciate your comments

fj thanks floyd for the kind words appreciate your input on the breakup/distortion on the vocals, I think it might be that something happened with the upload, I'm thinking about doing it over. I listened to the harmony track soloed and it sounded like the poster boy for COPD of course and the hum from the freezer in the room, I heard the boom coming up thru the floor from the airport that's about a mile away and a couple of the dogs barking, just the normal things that everybody deals with, but no pegging or breaking up that I could discern. Seriously, I do appreciate this and it'll be fun to try to re-record some of this to make it better. love Costello

That's one cool bunch of PG Music pickers you put together for your band. Sounds like they've been on road together for a while.
"I think an upbeat, happy, simple love song is hard to write"
I couldn't agree more. You can be up to the brim full of the feeling but it ain't easy to write it down. You did a superb job with it.
Far as the grit goes it's a vocal quality we have long liked. I once read how John Winter practiced singing with his face in a pillow when he was young to get the sound. The only way he could get away with it as his mother wasn't enthralled.
Good write, vocal and production and a LOT of fun.

Kenny,
I first listened to this song three or four weeks ago. Today, as I was backtracking through the forum, I discovered that I neglected to leave a comment. My apologies.
This is yet another fine creation for your songbook. The laid back, light rock feel is a perfect fit for your vocals.
You're reputation as a talented songwriter continues!
All the best, Noel

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...
2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!
Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
Sunday, March 31: closed
Regular hours resume Monday, April 1st - no joke!
