Finally got round to adding the lyrics to this little ditty which I've been kicking up and down the road ever since the great Neil Innes passed away a year ago. Massive thanks to Ray for the vocals - and for his suggestion to add the bass line (played on a genuine hofner "cavern" bass btw) It's a bit Rutley/Beatley and hopefully an upbeat start to a better year for one and all.
This is great. I'd have been tempted to do the vocals like MyIdolIsJahia did, singing into a can, and go for the complete old timey (1940s) tin pan alley vibe completely.
If you're up for it, I'll add the Old Fashioned Time Warp plugins on my daw and upload a remix with the whole thing sent back to the 1940s.
well done men! I remember this from before....Ray has done a really wonderful job here too....nice....very, very nice.... it reminds me...not musically but the theme of it, of an old song by Bread called "Diary"
First time anyone has asked me to sing one of their songs LOL Having said that, I enjoyed working on this collab and Johnny has written a fine song.

Sounds like a plan if you're ok with it, Ray?
What a delight - thanks boys!
This is excellent song writing and playing Johnny. A great performance on the vocal Ray. A fine collab fellas!

Great colab guys, real nice feel to this. A real beatles feel at the ending...
Very nice melody with peaceful atmosphere. Excellent job, guys! Enjoyable listening.
Lovely track Johnny/Ray, really enjoyed this. Really nicely done, let's pray things start getting better soon.

Ray, none of us has the balls to write something good enough for you! At least that is just my opinion...and not that you ever come across as anything but a humble but talented person...but your talent is off the charts good... besides, you are always so busy writing,,,,,it makes my head spin...kind of like Trev....but then again....Hook has 800 songs on here....800!!!!
