Hey guys...I must confess I'm very pleased with the way Kevin sang this for me...he's finding his way into "Fresh Fire" quite naturally or should I say "quite synthetically" crazy...at any rate he (it) delivers a compelling lead vocal in this (hopefully) inspirational ballad...so...if you do...thanks so much for listening...Dan

Hi Dan
Very nice song
Great played and sung
I have to be honest with you though...
...You would definitely have sung the song even better
But it was fun to listen to
Great work Dan

Dan, really nicely done, per usual. That opening section is like a high wire act for the guitarist and vocalist: the arrangement is so stark any glitch in either would shatter the illusion of reality. But it works perfectly. I agree that Kevin (under your control) provides a strong vocal indeed, as do the assisting vocalists. The cello was a really nice touch, too. The overall arrangement is quite interesting--those five minutes just FLEW by. Nice stick-to-it-ness on finishing your 40+ year old tune! (FWIW, some of our lyrics go back almost 50 years. Really rewarding bringing those to life at last.)

Dan,

Superb...

You are always able to bring out the full range of emotion in your Synth V productions. It is truly amazing.

Great song, great vocal and great mix.

You are becoming a master with this new technology. Excellent vocal for this well crafted lyric and backtrack. Well done Dan...

That is a smooth band and mix sounding great on our Kalis.
We love the openness of the sparse band ... perfect.

Kevin synth vibrato sounds like yours! Wonder why smile

The harmonies are nice and tight but not in a modern pop manner.

Well written and arranged!

Quite a compelling melody. The guitar and cello are a nice counterpart to the vocal melody. Excellent work with the synth voice and the production. Powerful and beautiful song.
