Thanks, Herb. Hey, I'm enjoying listening to your progress with synth voices.

Hi, David. Thanks. I was just talking with Hans about you --how I want to grow up to be just like you or something. I see you have a new one here --next stop.

It's really interesting what stories can be behind the development of a song ;-)
But also musically the song knows how to convince
Sounds really very good
Your vocals fit very well to the Latin sound
And the guitar of Dave 'Carlos' Bell sounds fantastic ;-))))
Add one or two Corona Extra and a Tequila and life is perfect...
Great work from all
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Thanks, Andi. Cool you included Celeste's name in your acknowledgements. Admittedly the song is a bit of an exaggeration. I mean, everyone recognized the painting and they were all quite excited, but we only had one place buy us free drinks.

Great vocal and mix but the lyrics took it over the top for me.

The video matched the song perfectly.

And of course Dave's guitar was the icing on the cake.

Great work gentlemen!

Thank you, Mario. Much appreciated, sir.


Enjoy whatever happens!

They say to write what you know. wink

Cool song, and some smoking guitar solos as well.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

So, what's not to like? Just one thing ... I didn't write it! Dang!

Your creativity knows no bounds!!!

Alan


Thanks, Alan. Oddly enough I feel like you DID write it --or at least inspired it. Glad it brought a smile.

Nice Latin groove - creative chord progression, catchy melody, smooth bass, Dave's playing and always pleasant vocal track give a unique and memorable mood.

Janne

Thank you, Janne. I really appreciate your encouraging comments. Salud.

Thanks, TB

Thanks, Torrey. Yes, Dave is a treat in many ways and in many styles. Right? I can't stop. Finished like 22 songs this year so far, and a bunch in the hopper.

Awesome tune Marty. Excellent vocal and bass lines. Loved the lyric and video. Dave's guitar was a perfect add to the song. Well done...

I just pressed play and hadn't looked at the band list. I instantly said, "That's Dave's guitar!" Sure nuff, I was right.

Cool back story, and you told that story well lyrically.

What a joyous song you made from such a cool story, Marty!

Dave’s guitar opening set the stage perfectly and Janice’s “happy feet” kept going throughout the song. smile

Your vocal truly reflects the fun you had on this adventure and, as always, you bass is spot on.
And the BiaB guys laid down a good session.

Also, the video is delightful and we loved the ending photo.

Enjoyed it!

J&B

PS Does Celeste share in the writing credit? smile
