Nice!  I think the song is fine without the 3rd bridge. I think the repeat is stronger than adding new material, partly because repetition is good, and partly because I'm not sure the line "ivory tower" fits well here.

Loved the song and your voice reminds me of some of my favorite singer-songwriters. Great job!

Thanks Dave.
Interesting comment about the melody.
I find that part the hardest. There is always a real danger of the generic taking over.

I like your song, and yes, every town and village has a place like this.
The song has a few quirks and edges, and that's exactly what I like about your song, it has a lot of charm!

That’s a lovely, melancholy melody and your heartfelt vocal brings the blues cafe to life, Vic.
As others have mentioned the piano and steel are standouts.
Another fine collab by you and John!
And we think the sparse arrangement and open mix well support the lyric and your vocal.
Nicely done!
J&B

You've done well to construct a track that matches the mood of the lyrics. Your vocals enhance the poignancy of the song. Great job.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Hi Vic ...
I've not been here a lot lately ... lots of medical issues for me and my wife. It was nice to see and hear a new one from you. The piano treatment was excellent and loved the acoustic lead. I've played in quite a few of these cry in your beer places.
I've been listening to you for, I guess, 10 or 12 years, and I think this is one of your very best. Very nicer, indeed.

Thank you David.
Yes, you're right.
Why complicate things? The 3rd bridge will go into the recycle bin.

Thank you Ghostgum.
I changed the instruments quite a few times ‘til I got it the way I wanted.
Swapped a fiddle for a string section and then the lap steel.
Used three different pianos and intercut them etc. ….
I thought at one time I would never finish it.
Vic
