Hey y'all....one of my friends was too shy to do this, so I'm doing it for her. I have known Diana wild for many, many years. She hosted open mics all over town during said years because she loves music and loved being around musician types. All those years passing and very few of us knew she secretly wrote songs....and never played them for anyone. One day, she put a call out for help in digitizing four track recordings she had laying around and I told her I could help....well..... The quality was rough to be sure, but hearing all those late night works of hers and knowing she was finally ready to be heard, I took on the task of getting her recorded. After many hurdles like weather and illness, we got a group of songs in the can. I decided to take her songs just as she had written them, straight across the table.....and the absolute charm of it kills me. At 73, and after all these years......I got to help her realize something she had been wanting to do for awhile....and we had a blast. This is one of many we captured, tell me what ya think and I'll send her a link so she can see the feed back. Flashback.....(Diana Wild) https://soundcloud.com/diana-wild/flashback

Thanks, Mac:
So pleased you took the time to introduce us to Diana Wild. You can be certain that I'll be looking for more of her track posts here... if she cares to share them. Loved her honest vocal and thinking man's lyrics. (Maybe I should have said "thinking Woman!... LOL!) Thank you again,, Mac... for helping a friend and sharing her work with us. Much talent on both sides of the ledger.
Regards, ----Dave

Great sound, cool vibe. This has a gypsy jazz feel to it, which gives it soulful charm and depth. Some really good lyrics in this too. A reminder of how much unknown talent is out there (and how much known untalent is out there--lol). I'm "wild" to hear more of what she's done. Really enjoyed and was inspired by the listen.

I really enjoyed this. There are some really cool images in the lyric. I also like the slight middle eastern flavor of the music. Did I hear some muted hand claps? I love hearing stuff like that and am always afraid to try and incorporate it. As always, you did a great job on the music.
Kudos to Ms. Diana for this lovely tune.

Really love this song, her vocal interpretations of her words are wonderful and the melody is so catchy. I suffer from anxiety and have trouble putting things out there, but it is a whole new world when you begin to share your art!
