joi de vivre ruff mix by honker (ken and orh) (picasso songbook)

[Greeny]

Simple Minds? This sounds better than 90% of their career material to my ears. Another masterpiece I missed along the way, so great bumping, BB. I really love Ken's tones and playing - both he and indierik do the kind of things I've tried to do with Jemima's Kite, but both of them are better equipped to do it. And the James vocal on this is superb. All in all, a wonderful collaboration.

Yeahhhhhhh, it was quite a day, magic was in the air.......lovely stuff.

[T.C. Elliott]

Yeah, I love those guitars toward the end. There were some interesting vocal phrases in there, how it works with the music. I really enjoy this quite a bit. This is another fine interpretation of a Picasso.

Very nice song, nice mix and great vox, particulary enjoyed the guitar tones.

Great work

I like it! sound as good as best '80 I can remember. the both of lyrics and music is very fine. I like the minor mood (beginning-verse) switching to major (chorus) giving a very interesting colour to it all, some kind of mistery that turns to joy. Wonderful guitar fillings inside!

saw a spider looking at this. i wish i could come up with a lyric like that now. very proud of that lyric, my auld addled mind couldn't come up with anything like that these days.

maybe if Kenneth sent me a new tune it might clear my writer's block.

I missed this on the first round... Sweet Honker song! Looking forward new stuff!!!
