Embarrassed.  I joined in 2008, but never thought my songs, or performance was worthy, so have been a lurker for over a year. :-[ :-[

Thanks to John I can no longer slink into the shadows.  Many thanks for the kind comments on the composition etc..  But this is mostly down to Johns expertise.  I like messing  and writing.  I'm always feel full of ideas, but do not have the right skills to put the finished article together.

Thanks again.  Back to you John.

First off, I love your track Johnbee. It is excellent. All the playing is excellent and it's a great arrangement. As for the song itself, I really think the lyric is excellent and the melody works perfectly.

Jim, Satch, TC & Gary-
Thanks for listening and your feedback, guys.  I really appreciate it.

Leigh, I'm so glad ypur "secret" is out.  Truth of the matter is that it's a great song and that has to come first.  Otherwise there's nothing to arrange for.  I believed in it enough to know I could get it to sound like this.  Any other ideas you want me to help you develop, feel free to send them my way and I'll be glad to see what I can do with them.

BTW-Judging from some of the feedback here, your version has plenty of merit too. ;)

Love it. I haven't checked out the original yet but I like this a lot. And agree 100%, this guy has a great voice and you guys need to post more full songs here.
The musical arrangement and his vocals are a perfect match.
Well Done guys...

Still can't believe this is one of my songs?  As some else said "gone to finishing school"  all pimped and preened.

Oh man this is great - The vocals/harmonies are incredible. And of course the arrangement is pro, too.

Well done, John (and your friend!)
