Hello bloc-head
Excellent song
From beginning to end
Your singing is absolutely great
The whole song so well arranged
And the organ solo that goes into the sax solo - brilliant
I like it very much
many greetings
Andi ;-)

Lovely Valentine's Day song, very romantic story.
Enjoyed the vocals and especially the nice backing vocals.
Great band, nicely rolling rhythm, everything works perfectly.
I got some Eric Clapton's Change The World vibe in the instrumental part chords & guitar combination.

bloc-head,

Love the opening of this—those acoustic guitars are really engaging. And then it slips into a cool 70’s vibe, that reminds me of Hall & Oates or something similar. Actually, at times, it even has a Clapton feel on some of those guitar licks. Terrific set of lyrics and melody. Really well done tune from start to finish. And love that sax solo! Sweet tune!

All my best to you,

Deej

Thanks Deej... Eric stole that lick from me, or maybe it was the other way around...I can't remember, but I do appreciate the great feedback.

Your wife has excellent taste, bloc-head. An excellent write and a good production. You do such a good matching the lyrics and melody with the perfect band choice, and then do an an excellent job mixing all of them together with the right piece shining at the right time. And you still manage to keep everything so clear and separate.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks... I've heard that LF reference before... I've met most of the members of the Feats, post Lowell, and love them. Thanks for the friendly words...

A sentiment that the two of us can assuredly agree with ... for over 40 Valentines smile

We love the groove and Janice said it had her dancing in the kitchen -- a good thing!

Nice performance, mix and the sax works great.
