I was instantly transported into the song. That's very clever writing.

I love this backing that you've put together. It complements the lyrics and your song really, really well.

Each new track you bring to the forum these days seems to venture into new territory in some way. I really admire that!

All the best for an amazing Christmas and New Year,
Noel


That`s a very kind review, Noel- thank you!

Excellent narrative and good arrangement selections.


I`m quite lazy about recording doubles on vocals - I can hear the jump in energy they make too, so maybe I should try them more often.
Thanks for your comments.

Thank you for that.I like Burns too, except when the lads start sing Auld Lang Syne well after midnight coming down my street in a week or so!

Very generous comments- thank you!
