Hello forum friends. Been gone too long! Just one thing and another I guess, but I'm happy to be back. This is a song which reflects my cynical side. Sadly, that side is showing itself somewhat often these days. I always like the Byrds vibe in BIAB, the band with the electric 12-string. I've written a few songs using that and this is another one. Sad about the recent loss of David Crosby......huge fan of CSN and the Byrds! I will catch up to the tunes here in the next week or so. Here's to a great bunch of folks, and the hope for a better 2023! Will post the tracks and lyrics soon. Hope you enjoy and I'd love to hear what you think. Take care all! Greg https://youtu.be/E14s4wiMDjI

Welcome back. I always enjoyed your stuff and this is right up there.
I've always been a Roger McGuinn fan. This reminds me of his music.
One of my favorites from you.

An excellently captured vocal as usual.
I enjoyed the jangle.

Greg,
Musically the Byrds vibe is definitely there, lyrically I hear the social conscience and big-picture scope of Jackson Browne.
Excellent vocal as usual; will have another listen when you post lyrics.

All the Byrds talk drew me to a listen, and there was no disappointment, nor lack of new originality. Enjoying this now as... I... type.

Hi Greg. Where did you go?
This sound takes me back a while. Very effective.
I think the bass line could be more interesting in parts but other than that small thing it's a good 'un.

This gives me the CSN feeling. Enjoyable to be sure. Can't wait to see the lyrics.

Definitely a 60's Byrd groove and sound.
Excellent vocal and mix.
Yeah, I've got O.C.D, Old, Cranky, and Dangerous.

I am listening now, really, really good. Did you use all BIAB tracks to do this one? I have heard a lot of people on here and this is excellent. Good to see you back, I have always enjoyed your stuff, looking forward to hearing more in the future from you. What a great song. This is a song like you use to hear a long time ago. I love the feel of it. Thank you for sharing, and I hope to hear a lot more from you in the future.

Everything about this is so darned good.
And just when I thought it couldn't get better, you add harmony vocals.
Easy listening, but melancholic and regretful. So a great write, too.

Ooooo. I KNEW there would be harmony, and it's terrific, Greg. Heck, the whole Byrds vibe is well played. Such a good write, and a keen, clean production. Excellent melody, and the song is ripe with cool dynamics. Always good to hear a new one of your velvet-throated songs, Greg. Take care, and enjoy whatever happens.
