Hi Dave,
This is a top song - excellent melody, vocals, guitar and production.
Boy have you got the Tony Joe White, Chris Rea things down pat or what - and that is a very very good thing.
Very enjoyable.
Best Regards
Nigel Really appreciate that, Nigel! Hi, Dave. The mix sounds great! Vocals, harmony, guitars and that super-punchy drum. Such a nice sound that I almost forgot to pay attention to the lyrics!  Hi, David. The kick drum for that particular RealDrum track was really weak so I'm doubling it with a kick drum from EZDrummer3. Thanks for the listen and comments!

Dave...what a great song! this is certainly NOT the blues...at least lyrically and you nailed it...first off your vocals (along with Chris) were really great...your duet parts are the best I've heard from you guys...man those were tight!...your guitar work is the best around and the total mix with Marty is so pro and so good...simpler times for sure and great memories of them...this was really excellent!

I was a little distracted by the 1st lines of the intro/lick suggesting Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood.
No probem though as it went enlsewhere and was its own thing.
Very J.J.Cale vocally and that a fab thing.
Christine supports your voice really well and Marty, Mr Bassman, underpins the song with a solid foundation that accents the right points in the rhythm & melody.
As usual your guitar stings n sings.
Cheers

I've probably told you a million times already, but you have such a beautiful Chris Rea tone in your voice. I love it. As always, Chris on background vocals and Marty on bass are the perfect choices for this song (well, probably ANY song  ). Enjoyed the listen. A lot! Really appreciate all of that, Brain! Excellent.
A very strong write. A canvas well painted.
Love that vocal!
Y'all are just A Damn Good Band.
Radio ready.
fj We have lots of fun working on the songs, which at the end of the day is what matters most; making music with friends. Thanks as always, floyd!

I can relate to that message, also as an adult feeling that these times are less simpler. Pleasantly nostalgic blues with light arrangement reflecting the simplicity, the drums sound great. Enjoyable calm vocals with an excellent range from low to high, stylish backing vocals. Dave's trademark guitar fills and Marty's solid bass keep it nicely together.

Dave
Fabulous song, great band (Marty and Chris were perfect) loved the guitar riff, and yeah JJ Cale!
Great stuff.
Peter Thanks, Peter! First of all, I am really into the song, Such a rich, full sound. All the parts work well, vocal, BGV, bass, lead, etc. in a clean and well mixed production. Your lyrics are spot on and I can identify with your message. As far as the bikes go, I remember banana seats and sissy bars.  Appreciate that, Scott!

Hi Everyone,\
Man, this is just so good! Dave, your vocal is standout! Chris and Marty never fail to make anything they are involved with that much better.
And your lead track is fantastic! Every second listening to this was a pure pleasure. Terrific work, everyone.
Nice video, too!
I literally live next door to our town's high school. (Crawl over my back fence and you're on their football practice field.) They ask me all the time what I think is different about growing up now vs. my youth in the 1950s. I tell them loss of respect, loss of innocence, and community participation - to include playing outdoors with neighborhood kids.
I think you captured the subject so nicely.
Best to you,
Alan Good times indeed, Alan! Thanks for the listen and kind words. A nice pleasant trip down memory lane.
Apart from being made to eat vegtables, those days were great! Brussel Sprouts were my nemesis back then! Hated them! Thanks for the listen.

As usual your guitar stings n sings. Similar rhythm to that Don't let me be misunderstood lick I suppose, good ear, I never noticed that. That was my favorite song by them BTW.

YEAH!!! Everything about this song is perfect, Dave. Excellent vocal. You are so much more relaxed at the mic. These well-thought-out lyrics makes the whole presentation jump to the favorites pile. Then... Chris comes through with the best tasting icing for this yummy musical cake. Thanks to all who mentioned the bass. Very kind, but this song is so good that any bass line would've been good. Still, always glad you invite me, Dave.

Janice said, “the first verse got me immediately and I thought this sounds like Bud.” Bud said “yep sometimes as a kid I’d take a bag lunch and be gone all day rambling through woods and creeks and fields.” So …. yeah we love the lyric. The lyric, music and video all contributed to the reminiscing vibe. Your and Chris’s vocals both sound great. Marty’s bass and your guitars are par excellence. Nothing new there! We much liked the electric piano - it brought out the light, happy carefree feeling very well. Loved it ... audio and video! J&B

This was totally enjoyable to listen to this morning.
Good write, mix, and guitar tone.

Loved this song Dave. Could totally relate to the lyrics. Loved the melody and guitar work. Chris's bgv was a really nice touch. And of course Martys basslines were awesome as well.

Dave,
This is awesome music. The presentation and the production are superb. Everything sounds so thoroughly polished. You really are a master tweaker of dials and slider of sliders. Your vocals are outstanding and Chris is a perfect fit with her background vocals.
I really enjoyed this!
--Noel
P.S. I remember those days, too. Even though it's such a long time ago, now, the memories linger on.
