Hello forum friends. Listening today, I got inspired to post this after hearing Tune Monger's lovely big band tune.....so well done!! I've always liked this style. My crooning abilities are marginal at best but I tried to write a fun, little song from the perspective of a love struck regular guy who falls for a woman out of his league, something I DO know a lot about! Hope you enjoy. Please let me know what you think. Will post lyric soon. Take care all. Greg https://soundcloud.com/gjohnson-2/gearyandvine

Greg, Your crooning abilities are just fine  Excellent tune in all respects. Smooth & smokey. You captured the spirit of the era very well, both vocally and musically. The quality of composition and production is striking! Thank you for sharing! Misha.

Beautiful tune and love the story of a delivery man and his van. I go around humming (cuz I cannot sing) Summer Comes Along and Make the Moment Last and that's the mark of good music IMHO.
But what's Geary and Vine? Gotta ask...

LOVELY melody.
Sweet narrative.
Spot on arrangement.
The mix is tidy too.
Well done.
The tag line of Geary & Vine made me think of Randy Newman's Vine Street (so beautifully performed by Harry Nilsson).

Hi Greg,
You are much too modest about yourself. You did a very nice job with this song. Although I am not a lover of Big Bands, but you sang with passion and with a nice swing, that it made me forget that. I liked the solo with the Horn(s). Very nice!
Hans

Great song. The style and sound reminiscent of Rod Stewart's treatment of various tunes from "The Great American Song Book," and also Ray Ellington (singer and band leader from the 1950s). Got any more like that?
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Greg,
Buddy, YOU should be famous.
As a songwriter.
As a singer.
And a very nice production. Nice use of the horns. Everything fits.
A stellar write.
A gorgeous listen.
You notch it up a little more with each release.

A really lovely song. A some top notch crooning, and a very nice lyric.
One of the absolute best uses of the big band horn sections I've heard.
The solo fits nicely and the the overall production sparkles.

Greg,
This is yet another stunning song.
I love the way that you've used a woman standing on a street corner as the foundation for these lyrics. It's a perfect fit for the genre.
From start to end, this is creative writing and classy listening!
All the best,
Noel

Hi Greg,
yes, Floyd nailed it: You should be famous!
What a cool song, the complex arrangement flowing so easily. Great horns arrangement and so incredibly well-sung.
Hats off, Greg, just an admirable production in every aspect.
All the best,
Stefan

I used to hear this type of music all the time growing up, my dad was a huge fan, and you pretty much nailed it I think, Greg.
Excellent!

Great Sound and vocals, I just think your voice was meant for Big Band sound, as it fits and feels just right.
This had a very uplifting feel to it, loved the lyrics.

Hi Greg ...
I have to portion my time here as best as I can. But I ALWAYS make it a point o listen to your music.
You have a marvelous crooner's voice, my friend - you are much too modest. You are the smoothest singer on the forums as far as I'm concerned. This is perfect in every way. As Floyd (and I in the past have) said ... you should be a household name. Your talents aren't just great ... they're exquisite. You have the perfect touch in lyric, vocal, arrangement and mix. That pretty much sums it up ... true excellence.
Wishing you the very best, my friend. BTW ... your package is on the way.
Alan

Nice old time cinematic feel. Excellent vocals. Beautiful arrangement fits perfectly with this lyrical atmosphere, sunny smiling mood. Solo works nicely.

Mr Smooth strikes again. You nailed the genre with the horns and the lyrics. The melody is super and the mix sounds great. That is some amazing singing, Tom
