Hi everyone, and thanks for listening, and it truly makes me happy knowing you enjoyed listening.

Dave makes it so easy for me in that the demos he gives me to listen to are fully wrought, pretty decent demos in their own right, and I get to pick and choose what ideas to use, and the extra creative freedom to add my own creative "voice" to the music as well.

The Fats Domino kind of "triplets in four-four sound" (aka 12/8) does remind one of bygone eras, and my harmonies are kind of "Western Swing" in retrospect to me, and the organ is the BIAB reggae organ, but I was pleased and thought these various style sources worked together nicely.

James, I love Don Henley and appreciate that comparison.

Floyd, despite "You're Having My Baby" (which I still think can work with a humble performed folk-ish sound, not the pompous sounding hit recording), I've always admired Paul Anka as a writer and performer.

And lastly, thanks Dave. It never feels like "hard work" producing these little gems. smile
