No, this is a nasty joke that a Dutchman has to make when hearing these kinds of love stories. We are used to that ourselves...

As I said it's a catchy song with, of course, a very good solo from Dave.
Your vocals sound nice and more bright then before. And you sing very seriously! But 45 years of marriage is a very serious matter! So far I come to 39 years, but with one difference; she found her prince for our marriage ;-)
How nice you have planned to release an album on the 14th. This song fits perfectly with that day!!!
I bet you still have a lot of work to finnish your album in time.

Good luck with it, Marty!
Hans




Hello, Hans. Not to worry. IF Barb finally met her prince, she wouldn't recognize him. Oh, you're a prince alright, and your wife obviously has great taste. The album was finished by November, and I already have the next one almost done. BiaB and the inspiration on this forum make creativity easy.

Thank you, Scott.

I like the way this lops along & broadway Blues is as good a toe tag as any.
Great bottom end from you, Dave's icing is well set.
I hope you get a response from the missus, mine didn't say a word.
Top shelf shuffle.

Kindred spirits for sure, Ray. Some would say we share the same overself. Barb won't say a word to me either. I don't think she even listens to my songs, but she is quite inspiring.

Thanks, Herb.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Excellent song, Marty, and I really like the video you did for it too. Kathy did as well, we watched it together.

Tomorrow is the big day for your CD release, looking forward to giving it a spin!

Nice video, I like the jigsaw pieces as the symbol for fitting together smile

Janne

Thank you, Janne. I always enjoy your comments, AND your music.

I don't want her getting to complacent :-).

Vic

Haha, Vic. I will never forget that. Thanks. I'd say after 50+ years, your wife's pretty content with a good thing.

Your appeal to your partner is wonderful.
It's very good to be positive.
Dave's guitar and your bass shine together.
Even if someone asks me what genre this song is, I can't answer either.
Some music needs a genre, but this song doesn't.
This song goes straight to our hearts.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Thank you, Shigeki. Yeah, my blood type is B-positive. You, sir, are a very positive influence on my songwriting for sure.

What a terrific line!!

"Broadway Blues"? I like it. I hope you wore sunglasses to sing this - just TOO cool!

Love that BASS!!

Dave is talkin'!!!

Good mix.

Charming. (and Princely)

Thanks so much, Floyd. You are always so good at picking out my favorite lines. That one is one I've said to Barb for years. A Kingly response!!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Dave sounds great

Your vocal and bass are smooooooooth.

Excellent song, Marty.

I love the feel and sound. You've sung this so convincingly.

Congrats on 45 years. We're a wee bit shy of that going on 37, and she knows I'm her Prince Charming. laugh

So much has already been shared that I would agree with. Is it too little to say, I hear all of those aspect yet sometimes like to just listen as as though I don't know a thing. I just really like the song...so the rest of it must be right kind of thing. Great job!

BTW, I'm like you, many times I don't know where MY music fits if I had to categorize it. I'm trying to forget about genre's as I feel I start thinking in terms of this does or doesn't fit a song in such and such a genre. It sucks the fun and creativity out of it. So...bring on the heavy distortion bag pipes! lol j/k

Anyway, keep these songs comin!

I always try to concentrate on your bass and Dave's guitar. You both are so good it is scary.
Loved this one.

Thanks, Mario. We always appreciate your close inspection, and thoughtful comments.

Really great job!

Did you lay this down on tape man?

Thanks, David. I AM a 50s vibe. smile Yes, the original was reel to unreal when I sang much higher and faster.

Really sweet sentiment perfectly delivered. Yes, this would sit quite nice in the five hole. Like the baseball reference — clever. It’s gonna be a good album, Marty. You have some great songs going on it.

Hope all is well in your world,

Deej

Thank you, Deej. Yeah, this isn't a good song to come up with a solo for, but Dave never fails. Man, it would be a lot of fun to hang out with you for a game sometime.

If I just say "Thanks, Dave," you know how big I mean it, right?

Thanks, you two. Always so nice to hear from you. Not sure about the YT thing. It's not like me to not want to hear what others have to say. wink I got a couple comments there, so... Thanks so much for your comment here and your encouragement and inspiration throughout.

Thanks, Scott. Yeah, well, it was much easier for your wife to see that. I had a bunch o' faults mine had to iron out. She comes from a long line of capable ironers. Her grandma even ironed her husband's socks and boxer shorts. smile

Thanks, C-Aaron! That is BIG to say that you listen without prejudice, not knowing a thing. That is truly the best way to experience a song --anything really. Yes, genres and categories are for mental convivence; in reality, not confined by definite endings. On the continuum of music, however, distorted bagpipes are way off the deep end. Always enjoy your thoughtful comments throughout the forum. Thanks, and I will keep 'em comin' cuz I can't stop.


Enjoy whatever happens!
