Very cool Andy. I can just imagine you siting on a bar stool singing this at the folk club. Love the addition of the little fiddle here and there. Nice one.

So cool! I find this song to be kinda charming, like a great old movie.
This made me think of the recent offerings of Mark Knopfler.
Fine, fine writing, very strong.
Enjoyed the hell out of it.

Thank you, Joanne and Kenny. I appreciate your taking time to listen to it. It's special to me. And, yes, it is fun to sit on a stool in a quiet-ish room, where I might see some people stop what they were doing, to follow the story.

Don't think I can add anything useful that hasn't been said - just sat back and listened.
Really nice (I always listen to the guitar parts - nicely played!).

Thank you, Peter and Dani. It's a lot of fun to play, though my dog is sick of hearing it.

The production is tasty and tasteful. Your guitar work is a delight. I would hesitate to change it much from where you have it - it all works VERY well. Your feelings about the guitar having more of a role is, likely, because you are so accustom to hearing it as you play it - as a guitar/vocal only. As we hear it - a full production - the guitar "holds its own" quite well.

I thought Charlie's suggestion of "that" was a good one (but, that is of course, your choice). I heard a "bit of a bump" on the word "ruined" (syllables rushed) - you could change that to "break" (or "broke") to reduce syllables (again, a little thing - though, getting to the point where "little things" are all that is left - as you have - is impressive...and makes those little things that much more important).

I would not be concerned about the length of the song. There is no "filler" in your story. This is like a Harry Chapin story song. They require the time they require.

Again... this is excellent!

We're late to the party but floyd really well articulated all the goodness of this production.

A well deserved Hot Topic and we enjoyed the journey!
