Beautiful work!

Wow, thank you Mike! As to that change of time signature section, I was on my upright just hammering out that "Woke up feeling fine" hook, and for some reason, I either was excited when singing along to it that I hit an extra down beat, or however it happened. So, I then tried to do again, which had me hit it three times instead two, (an extra one). So again, I thought, hmmmm, why not do them ALL. A 1,,,then 2 downbeats, then 3? I just about ran upstairs to begin tracking the piano, and focused on doing just that for that section. I had to do a take two, for I hit the 3 downbeats after the first. HA! It wasn't first planned at all to try to be clever. It was a mistake on my upright that caught my attention.

For the harmonies, since I have a very low to falsetto ability, I just kept adding on to it all. I don't like my voice alone, so that's another reason I like to add on to my lead vocal.

Thank you for your comment on my work. I have been trying to get better and better, mostly since after a year not playing or listening to anything, (tinnitus). I thought, well, I can do recordings, and maybe do demos with Sub, (Mike Caro). I then got into his studio for some things. YOur praise is mainly because I focus on all the tasks to always improve. The BLUE COLLAR method. Now, it seems easier than ever. Thank you.
