This is so masterfully detailed, I really feel like I know this 93 year old man, by songs end.

I need to mention the excellent phrasing of lines like "Watching your wife grow more beautiful with each year" you know how to use that all important space, before the phrases first downbeat, to sneak in "watching your" --so the long line sounds completely natural.

My highest praise for this. Every bit of me, moved by this.

Oh, maybe throw more reverb on the "string synth" and maybe even flange it, so it 's "wider" in the stereo spectrum. smile

High praise from you is high praise indeed, Mike. Many thanks!

That phrasing trick you mentioned is a favorite of mine - can't believe how many times it's gotten me out of a jam. grin

Thanks for the suggestion on the strings - I'll play around with it.

This lyric came far easier than most - I guess one can't underestimate the power of inspiration. smile

Thanks again, Mike

Scott
