Honestly enjoyed this, one or two of the posts referred to Dick Van Dyke dancing to this,
YES I definitely watched that Movie while listening to Summer Moon.
Great write and Vocals, and a mind journey like no other.
P.s. Made me a wee bit jealous , as I think you guys are just coming in to summer as we leave... I think ?.

As so often with your compositions Janice was moved to tears early on...tears of joy. One listen through and she commented on how much she loved the melody and your vocal pointing out the "And when you sprinkle the world with moonlight from high in heaven ." And you singing slightly different each time is right in her wheelhouse  The harp worked great and the harmony at the end was an excellent touch. As I type Janice just said, "Paul McCartney might steal this song!" All of this and wrapped up in a very nice production! Kudos!!!! J&B

I love the way this song lifts my spirit and carries my heart along. All the little production touches. I've always heard it said that positive songs are always the most in demand because they are hardest to write. You have a wonderful gift Noel.

Hello, Noel
Very good song! Very positive and uplifting! Your lyrics are always very easy to understand for me who is not a native speaker of English. Your vocals sung in a humming feel really fit this song. When Japanese people make such a song like this, the image of a solitary traveler tends to come to the fore, but your song is very different. It is happy and very pleasant. It is also a pleasant that the bridge starts from III7. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Hi Noel,
Love the intro, just having the harp start things off worked well. Also enjoyed the feel good lyrics. Mix sounds good too!
Very nice! Hi Dave, Thanks for dropping in, listening and commenting. I appreciate it. All the best, Noel P.S. My aim is to get my mixes to sound as professional as yours. These days your works really sparkle with megawatts!!!

Noel, so smooth and likeable!
I think everyone likes that 'soft shoe' style, and so using that style emphasizes the 'good feeling' character of the whole track.
Excellent deployment of the harmonica. Loved the vocal doubling to kick off that last chorus. Overall pleasing to the ear; great example of 'keeping it simple' to deliver a great musical/lyrical message.
Really enjoyed this!

Noel, You are a solid block of positivity in your posts, commentary and support for others. Even more so in your songs! This is sweet. That harmony in the last verse is just what was needed at that point in the song. What's not to like? Hi Ray, Thanks for passing through. I appreciate your thoughts. Believe it or not, I actually don't set out to write positive songs... I just go where the words and music take me! Thanks again for making time to have a listen. All the best, Noel

Nice work on this Noel  I really like the groove, and your vocals are top notch as well. It almost had a playful nature to it. Really smooth sounding, and I thought you did a great job with the mix as well. Good job and thanks for sharing! Hey Deryk, Thanks for having a listen and for passing on your thoughts. Appreciate it. Regards, Noel

Super use of the blues harp! Great vocal, backing tracks and a very polished mix with lyrics that took it over the top for me.
Excellent work. Hey Mario, Thank you for visiting. The blues harp I used is an outstanding Realtrack! I found it very easy to work with. Thanks for the comments about the mix, etc. Appreciate it. All the best, Noel

Gorgeous piece! The music meshes well with the lyrics. I concur with the idea of Dick Van Dyke dancing to this, but I also see him singing this too. Wonderful! Thank you for the feedback. I really appreciate it. (For what it's worth, I'm a pretty big fan of Dick Van Dyke, he's certainly a multi-talented fellow!) Thanks again for taking time... All the best, Noel

Beautiful intro. Everything else is great. I liked a lot the chord progressions and the harmonica melody. Hi Ermar, Thank you for passing through and having a listen. Much appreciated. Now if only I could come up with those wonderful melodies that you invent... All the best, Noel

Another uplifting song from you with a great intro, vocals (including the harmony in the last chorus), arrangement, mix.
and I can agree with this message, especially when talking about your music:
"Ever thankful for the journey I’m trav’ling This gift of life, what an amazing thing!"
Janne Hey Janne, Thank you for taking time to listen and comment. Appreciate it. All the best, Noel P.S. Thanks for the smile that your comments gave me, too!

The opening harmonica (and the reverb on it) is inspired. And I really appreciate you stretching your vocal in the bridge ("high in heaven")! It adds to the depth and sincerity of the vibe.
very much enjoyed!
