Hopefully it's improved things. The song is all Realtracks/Realdrums and can be found at ... ... Heaven's Stairway (on Vimeo; better quality audio/video)... Heaven's Stairway (on Youtube) If anyone is interested in the music for this, a pdf of the lead sheet is available at the below link. ...

Noel,
There is SO much to like about this! Best vocal ever. To begin with.
Best cadence to the lyrics - ever. EVER! They roll off the tongue SO nicely. Nothing ever in the way, just a natural feel. Big time bravo on that. The words SING.
Cool instrumentation. The guitar... the steel... perfect. Great tracks and a great mix. Cool.

Hi Floyd, It's always good to hear from you. I've got to say, though, you've done it again! My computer monitor blushed a bright shade of red  when I put your comments on-screen. Thank you for taking time to listen and to pass on your thoughts. Your ideas always help me see my songs with new eyes and I always find that extremely beneficial. Much appreciated. All the best, Noel

Very nice work. I have seen quite a few groups in some local churches who perform this style of music.
Christian country is one of my favorites. I love a steel guitar.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi Noel and Brenda,
I'm not a fan of Christian country.
But this song is completely rounded:
good lyrics, vocals and mix.
Congratulations.

Nice all the way around. Great mix -- particularly the way it supports the vocal. Really cool the way the song has such a relaxed, loose feel (and I mean loose in a very positive manner). I agree with Floyd re the way the lyrics flow -- nothing forced. I'm an old Southern rocking gospel fan and don't listen to much of the new Christian music as it seems to always have a breathy/overly angst vibe. This production is very different as it really draws you into the words - and the vocal is outstanding.

Hi Herb.
Thank you for the thumbs up. I'm with you regarding steel guitar. It's an amazing instrument. I appreciate your comments and I know Brenda will too when she reads them.
Best regards,

Hi Guenter,

Hi Janice and Bud,
I really appreciate all the positive comments. I know you'll give Brenda a huge smile, too. She'll be over the moon when she reads them. To be honest, I think good fortune was on our side when we wrote this song!
Once again, thank you!
Noel
