bloody brilliant oh my... I'm afraid I've turned BRITISH! I will have to come back to comment more whence I've stopped the uncontrollable laughter! |

way way funny... in a demented sad sort of way... definitely sounds like a musical needs to be written around it, perfect sounding... I wonder who could do something like that... Dick? :-) Great job Dick, Rebsie, and an incredible cast, wow! Sounds GREAT! Wonderful lyrics, well performed. ttfn, Drakonis |

Strike a light! Are you trying to tell me that George Formby only appears once in the keywords on this site?! What is the world coming to, me ole cockney sparra? Anyway, I listened to this after coming down the ole apples and whatnots and you can paint me bottom blue if it didn't warm the cockles of this ole Gibbon's heart. Not so much George "Turned out nice again" Formby as Ian Dury and The Blockheads meets The Two Ronnies, which I genuinely mean as compliment, squire. Rebsie has taken to striding around the house like a pearly queen and now I see why. A pleasure to contribute to this diamond in the rough, if only in a very small way, guv. Bless ya, sir and compliments to my fellow gentlemen and ladies in the choir. |

So Rebsie has become the pearly queen of Cheltenham! I expect a market stall will follow soon. What a great fun song and where did that accent come from? You've been watching too much Eastenders coz they don't talk like that in Peckham where I come from! Thanks to you all for a fabulous collaboration. Peter |

topical going tropical funny, witty and just all out a fun piece to l listen to. I would say you're just plain weird. But in truth your are somewhat of a genius at this. |

Great stuff Sounds like Rebsie will have to star in the show now! Fun production all round. The little quote from My Fair Lady at the end was very funny! Thanks for letting me in on the chorus. Laughing all the way to the church.... |

Patrick Swayze Brilliant. A pure delight. I'd be curious how each collaborator added/influenced this gem |

Genius Great sining from Ms. R, laugh out loud lyrics, george formby instrumentation and a great tune ... they should be building statues of you in olde england, Dick. Steve |

Steve's right ... Amokopera is really going somewhere and I can't tell you how privileged I feel to be involved with it. It's been enormous fun to work on too and I loved every minute of it. A lot of collabs are about putting icing on a ready-made musical cake. This one was different because I was in on it right from the start and got to see it evolve from a single uke track to the amazingly rich and imaginative thing it is now, and that was a privilege too. I often struggle with arrangements myself and watching your creative process at work has been constant delight and wonderment. Thank you thank you. |

Ack! You had me laughing out loud while I was at work in the library! Good thing no one else was here. Very clever and perfectly delivered by Rebsie. Enjoyed it. |

LOL!!! Excellent job... Loads of fun and funny all the way around in this one, although I have a sneaking suspicion that *Graeme Hobbs* is the nom de plume of Dick's wife. lol Rebsie is frighteningly convincing in her featured role. :D One suggestion, Dick... I think perhaps the only thing that's missing in the mix is the sound of flying, crashing dishes --- and maybe the singular tone of a well-placed frying pan on Hubby's head. ;) --- Joe |

:) Bloomin' marvelous! And I've just suggested a newbie listen to Rebsie as a good example of MJ English folk! This was so much fun to listen to and obviously so much fun to do. Pint of bitter and some crisps please luv! Neil |

Smashing! This was such a blast of a song I couldn't stop smiling. Rebsie's vocals really made it work. Truly inspiring performance, guvnah. Truly fab. |

lovin it Really loved this one Dickie. The sense of humor, the uke, the subject matter the chorus..............hell of a tune. Bawdy and fun. Tickled my British side of the family it did. My Hyde's came over around 1638 or so coming through Massachusetts. |

Marvellous! Missed this when it was released Dick - but glad I found it in the end. Great stuff. Fantastic tune, and a great performance all round. There aren't enough steel drums in popular music, so I'm glad you gone at least some way to redressing this... ...and love the fade out. Inspired:) Cheers, Phil |

Very cool - Lots of work to put together, I'm sure, but lots of fun. When I hear the whole song put together, it is kind of melancholy, in a funny sort of way. Rebsie, great story telling through your singing. |

inspired there is a suprise around every corner in macjams! absolutely brill - love the steel drum sound and the upbeat feel - totally original - love it! |

A perfect... ...theatre piece. How much fun this is from the opening notes. The break-out orchestration after the first pass is brilliant and you sustain that feeling throughout especially with the little background blips and blops to punctuate the tune. Very tastefully restrained, Dick. ... Rebsie's vocals are the perfect vocal rendition. No American could pull that off, even faking it! Well done. My only critical thought--not criticism!--is with the full chorus of voices the last time through: no doubt you already sense a bit of a pitch issue. On the other hand, if this is the combination of lots of collabs sending around sound files around the world, then it's only a small quibble I have with it. In every sense the composition, arrangement, and delivery are top drawer. I'm already looking forward to the next installment! Peace. Paul |
