Hello, Greg
Very beautiful melody with pleasant and unique chord progression!
Your vocal is also very nice.
Your are a really great vocalist!
The incident in Las Vegas was truly a misery. It was widely reported also in Japan.
Meanwhile, Tom Petty was little known in Japan, so I first realized he died.
Losing an artist you love and respect is truly a painful and sad thing.
This tune is a really great tribute.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Greg,
This is a wonderful composition and production. Everything about this sounds excellent and the end result is so brilliantly polished.
When you work in this genre, you really own it!
Such a great tribute and so well done!
All the best,
Noel

We have very little to add to what has already been said.
Glen Frey, then Gregg and now Tom. Artists that the two of us have listened to regularly for close to 40 years. We have watched the documentary you mentioned three times over the years. It is well worth ANY music lovers' time.
We're not gonna parse out your song...it just doesn't seem fitting at this point.
Your production, all of it, speak so well to such a tremendous loss to the music world.
We hope a lot of folks get to hear this.
Thanks for creating this.

I was out of the country when I heard the news, quite a shock to say the least. I have seen that documentary too, I agree, in addition to being a great songwriter and performer he was a very cool guy.
Greg, this is just SO GOOD!! Vocals are as good as it gets, and love your lyrics too.

One thing I forgot to mention is a know a guy who was around Tom Petty when he was really young in Gainesville, and was playing with other people on the scene. He said, and this is pretty much verbatim:
"Whenever Tom Petty walked into a room, everything stopped. He just had this look and this aura about him that said 'you guys have just been clowning around but I'm about to show you how it's done.' And you could also distinctly hear him saying, without speaking a word, 'Oh, and by the way I plan on completely dominating the entire rock and roll planet even though no one knows me yet. But I will be one of the most famous people you have ever heard of.' And so he did, and so he was."
The guy said he acted that way from the time he was a teenager and hardly knew how to play.
I just thought that was funny. Thanks David! And thanks for the story. In watching the documentary, I could see that kind of star power in the young Petty. I spent some time with Adam Duritz from Counting Crows when we were young. He also seemed to know he would make it big. Confidence can go a long way! Take care. Greg

What a lovely tribute! We've lost so many amazing artists over the past year, but I think your tribute does them justice. I think we were all shocked when we heard about Tom Petty, and his passing will be felt deeply and for quite some time, I am sure.
Beautiful, beautiful song. <3
Cheers,
Ember

Greg, what a great tribute! You did an absolutely fantastic job on this! The vocal work could not be done any better (along with those awesome background vocals)! I was amazed at how great this track sounds! Tom has been remembered and honored with this! Thanks, Torrey Thanks so much for the kind words Torrey. You killed it on your last post!! Amazing! Take care. Greg

Super tribute Greg. I am with Robert on this one. You are definitely one of my favorite vocalists as well on the forum. Another super vocal and lyric. The loss of Tom Petty will be felt for a long time to come. The world is in a very strange state right now. It does not seem real with the constant devastating news that just continues to come. So glad to have such enjoyable music to visit and escape from the everyday chaos..
Thanks for those incredibly kind words Scott! They mean so much to me. Take care. Greg

Great tribute, Greg. It also has a Don Henley "End Of The Innocence" vibe. I think that might be apropos.
Thanks John! And, any comparison to Henley is the greatest compliment I could get. Appreciate your kind words! Take care. Greg

Yes, that was truly sad news.
Tom Petty was one of our favorites too (Free Falling, such a great song among many, and Refugee of course).
But man, your song is truly great in all aspects. We really loooooove your backing vocals here.
And of course the lead vocal and the guitar work are gorgeous!
Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks so much R and AM! A compliment on vocals from you guys is treasured as your vocals are absolutely amazing! Take care. Greg

Wonderful job Greg. I didn't hear about it till later in the day. I have a grandson living in Vegas, so I was naturally concerned with making sure he and his wife were OK. You did amazing work on this. I am impressed! Thanks so much! Appreciate your very nice comments. Take care. Greg

Greg, this is a great song sung with a lot of passion. Great mix, lyrics and vocals make this a super tribute.
Yes we are losing a lot of musicians these days and it is sad. But the message that should be heard is stay away from drugs and cigarettes and use alcohol in moderation. YMMV
Regardless this is one fantastic song. Thanks Mario! Yeah, addiction is sad. And so many brilliant people fall prey to it. Appreciate your kindness! Take care. Greg
