Indeed, welcome to the Forum. Great start to this song. I look forward to hearing your completed song.

This sounds great tom. I hope that you are going to forward this on to the Biden Campaign. Sorry I was late in submitting but I am glad that it wasn't used. It would not have fit in with what is a great final product.

This is just not fair! How can you be so consistently good. Excellent work Bats!!!

Excellent playing and I agree that this song has that early 1960's style of sound. That must be why I enjoyed it so much. I may have mentioned this on one of your other posts but this style reminds me of The Shadows (an excellent group). I always enjoyed their instrumentals. Well done!

Billionaire --- must be the price of inflation? You indeed do have a unique sound. It reminds me a wee bit of some of the New Wave pop songs of the early 1980s. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much. Well done!

You must have made some of the changes suggested because the mix sounds doggone good to me. The vocals sounded clear to me and the lyrics were great. I particularly liked the Fx on the guitars panned hard L &R. Excellent work!!

I will always make time to listen to one of your songs Paul. Ya, this song definitely has a retro feel to it. I really enjoyed this song. I liked the message of the lyrics, and it sounds good to me. Well done!

This is a beautiful piece Bjorn. I too love that flute!

Sorry for the delay in responding. Thanks for the kind words. I can't blame the drummer. I use WAV clips (in this case by live performances by Beta Monkey) and I guess one of the hazards of using clips is that some times I can over-do things. Thanks for pointing this out - I appreciate it!

Sorry for the delay in responding Hidden Symmetry. It seems that I have lost control of my time and schedule now that we are self isolating. Somehow, my anticipated boredom has been supplanted by too much busy stuff. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I very much appreciate the kind words.

Here is a little video that I put together in tribute to the healthcare and essential workers on the front line fighting the Corona CoVid 19 virus. They indeed are the silent heroes of today. I hope that you enjoy it. Thanks to all these heroes!!! CORONA CORONA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QibIgYyJljM

I always look forward to listening your songs and this not an exception. You took a bad situation and converted it into a great lyrics that tell a clever story. The music perfectly complements the story. I love that change that comes in around 2:12.

One of my fav's back during the "New Wave" days. Excellent cover!!!

Jesse (AKA Alex) --- aaaaagggghhh! The page won't come up on line! ?

Most definitely a cool rocker!!! Great arrangement and lyrics. Vocals sound good to me and love the guitars!

It might be number 4 but I would give it a 5 out of 5. Great sounds creating an aural description of a functioning brain -- indeed! BTW the "chik-chik zhaaaaa" described above ---- are those neurons firing????? Just thought I would ask.

Radio ready, pal. Love that funk-jazzy guitar work and that interesting growling sound that comes in panned left around 1:27. Great composition, performance, and mix!!!

Man, this is a beautiful, well done song. To my tired old ears the vocal, bgv's and that phasey guitars sound near to perfect with out losing the human element of music. Oh ya, very good placement of drums also.

Hi tom! Thanks very much for the encouragement pal. Jimmy Reed -- I'll take that any day. In fact, when I was a young teeny-bopper I wore the grooves out of several Jimmy albums. I just loved that stuff and it provided a great escape from some of the commercial stuff being played on top 40 radio. Thanks again. Thank you very much David. I appreciate your comments. No --- I am not really a stock broker. Although, the first time in college I graduated in Business Administration. I worked in that for 2-3 years but it just was not for me. So, I went back to college to pick up the 2 years of undergraduate work that I needed to get into grad. school in the Biological Sciences. Now that is the place in which I belonged. Hi Douglas. Thanks very much for taking the time to listen and for the kind words. I am very pleased that you liked it. Thanks again. Y'all stay safe and healthy.

Boy howdy -- this is one cool country sounding song. I like the story. The chorus and melody are infectious. Terrific job all the way around.

For an easy listening Jazz song, I thought this was great. It all sounded good to me. You were concerned about the drums but to me they sounded fine. The brushes, bass pedal, fills all seemed to fit with the timing. This is not the type of music where you would want them too much up front (they were not) but they carried the song along as they should. BTW, I liked the wee bit of dissonance at the ending.

Very cool song indeed!!! I liked the pulsating sounds (panned hard left and right) complementing each other in the beginning. Aaah, but when the guitars and hard bass came in --- COOL! I am also a sucker for that keyboard theme that ran throughout the song (even through the instrumental pause and right after the bass run) --- most COOL.

Hi John B, I am sorry that you will be leaving this forum. I have always enjoyed listening to your songs. They always had a message and emotion. Let both your brain and heart guide you and I sincerely hope that you find the peace that you are looking for. During this time of crisis please be careful, stay safe, and be well.

Not thing to add to the above comments --- except that this is a good and well done rocker. Nice one!!! Thanks for posting.

Excellent -- lyrics, composition, performance, mix, etc.!!! However, your vocals really stand out in this song. Well done.
