Agree with above. And over my speakers you have an especially good vocal mix - smooth and clear as a bell. Whatever your vox chain is - it certainly compliments your voice. Much enjoyed. Josie

Enjoyed it a lot.

Fine job on song and video. Very well written. Excellent performance. Great carnival sound you captured.
I suppose you don't want to let us in on the secret of where you get that great video footage? Thanks for listening and comment, jptjptjpt. Usually I use free stuff from pexel.com and occasionally from pixaby,cim. The still are always mine. Upbeat and catchy, your vocals are great. The instrumentation (and voices) are a treat to listen to. Love the slowdown at the end. That was... quite a ride!  Hey, thanks, David. Surely an unusual group of musicians. Yeah, it's cool how BiaB lets you change tempo like that. It fit or the slowing Ferris Wheel. Marty,
Fun stuff! Massive theatrical goodness take on serious subject. Absolutely awesome write! Lyrics, vocals, bass, arrangement, everything is very cool. Wild chord progression in places. The slowing down ending was icing on the omelet. I can only imagine how much time went into this... On the other hand, when you do something fun, time flies. Really liked this one. Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Thanks for coming along for the ride, Misha. Yes, it's a timeless love. Marty,
[quote=Scott C]Awesome tune Marty. Loved the groove on this tune. Another super vocal and very creative lyric.
Love your bassline. They make the song sound so solid. Super mix as well. That mandolin break was very cool. Well done
First class video.... Thanks, Scott. The drum defines the feel, then the bass lays a solid bed for guys like you to add your parts to make the whole thing memorable. This song certainly lived up to your promise: "something completely different." The video version helped to explain a few things but some lyrics remain enigmatic (e.g. 'domino pie' and 'taffy bender') but, as someone once said, "Everything makes sense after six Coronas!" I obviously don't drink enough  Highly entertaining and very well put together. This song certainly lived up to your promise: "something completely different."

Some have figured that "domino" was a reference to Derek & The Dominoes, and maybe Duane Allman was the taffy bender. I dunno.

Marty, this is your best vocal performance/capture to date - for me.
Fun, a well held together narrative and nice band.
On a purely musical level this could also sound great treated like one of the ballads on The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle...something like Sandy. Thanks, RAYC! You, sir, are the biggest difference in the way the vocal sounds. Thanks so much for all your help. I seek out your comments to others, too. You are certainly one of the treasures of htis tribe. Entertaining and a bit 'way out there' in a funny kind of way.
Loved the little voices, quite a laugh.
yes, fun all, the way. haha, Thanks VideoTrack guy. Hey, always wanted to tell you I like how you have a bass player in your avatar with you. 'BabuMusic'... There is a musical exuberance, a free-wheeling lyrical feel, and an imaginative, almost pictorially intense storytelling process going on in the song that makes it a stand-out listening experience, almost like a novelty. The Real Track instruments add a suggestive regional flavor, and your bass playing just keeps moving on down the line. And another thing -- you have an awfully youthful voice for a grey-bearded person !!! AH, BLUAGE. No lower-case for you, sir. Seriously, I've actually had a couple occasions where others have mentioned to me, "Hey, did you see the comment from bluage?" Your comments are always meaningful, pleasant, creative and encouraging. In a forum where many of us are throwing ourselves out there, then closing one eye to see what comes back, you are the best reason to open wide. Also, thanks for the "youthful" part. Truth is, I'm now at least a step and a half older than when I sang songs years ago, so what used to be C is now A. hehe Marty: I have to say, I've not seen anything quite like that on You Tube or anywhere else, for that matter. The sound track is great. The video is bold, original, and very well put together. Thanks, Ed. I'm sure there's good reason for my lack of YouTube competition. hehe.

Jimmy and Marty and Ginger...how cool is that? Clever and cool write and just the right vocal to carry it all. All kinds of vibes, as alluded to above, and the accordion even tosses in a little Tex-Mex. The vid was fun and Janice said she enjoyed the ferris wheel kaleidoscopes And as always that guy you recruit for the bass parts on your productions knows his stuff. Fun! J&B Hah, Thanks, Bud & Janice. You guys are the best --for real. Man, I once heard from a reputable source that Jaco and Jimi once jammed together in NYC. They didn't even know each other then. It was before Chris Chandler "discovered" Hendrix. I have a tape of Jimi and BB King. Terribly recorded, but would really love to hear something from Jimi & Jaco. ".....A real fun-house of a write!

Peter Thanks, Peter. HEY, I really liked cutting my bass into that great stuff you played on the Janice & Bud song, Water Under The Bridge. Thanks for the opportunity.

Now that was something else.
Love the chorus. It's sticks to you like super glue.
Your vocal here is an absolute stellar performance.
Production is primo.
The slowing down at the end reminded me of a carousel slowing down.

Fun novelty tune that was well produced. Fan of Firesign and Python here. I doubt most have heard of them, esp Firesign. Good work!

A LOT has already been said that I would say about this song. Very well deserving!
The one thing I wanted to add was that I felt like I knew this song VERY soon into it. Not because I've heard it before; but because you were able to fit catchy multiple hooks that it created familiarity really fast. That is a fantastic gift to have. This is stuck in my head in all the right ways!
I will say also that I especially enjoyed the tempo change at the end. It was clever and brought me even more into feeling like this was a group of people playing.
Great job!
Chad (Hope that makes it easier)

Hi Marty,
What a nice happy song in spite of the condition of that guy in your song!
And as with all your songs, your vocals sound exactly in line with the atmosphere of this song.
You did a lot of writing on the lyrics. Can you sing it out of your head?
I enjoyed it very much. Monty P. could have learn from it. I can see the scetch in front of my eyes.
So, very well done!
Hans

Great job! Oh, when you started with that "sounds like" paragraph, HearToLearn, I half closed my eyes as I read on. Phewf! We always dread the "too close for copyright" thing when we think we've heard our new song before. Maybe it's a deja vu thing in reverse. Thanks for listening and writing such am encouraging comment. Catchiness is an aloof quality for sure, C.Aaron Madison. Hi Marty,

Hans Hello, Hans. Always good hearing from you, both in comment and in song. Yes, some folks probably think I'm outta my mind singing, but this one I can sing out of my head. I once played with a guy who sang all Bob Dylan songs and knew every word, even the extra verses that weren't always on the album. Heck, Bob himself uses a teleprompter. Can't speak to your early recording works but...........this one is good.
Creative, interesting, fun and well done!
Thanks, Captain. I really like your newest, and really enjoy the old stuff you did, too.
