Charm I am really enjoying this one. The strings and woodblock work well with the vocal. Thanks Bill |

Imaginative I put my parents through the mill in my teenage years too ... another reason why I've never wanted children myself. I wouldn't want any little bugger doing that to me. :) It does sound like a retro show tune. Very versatile range of musical and vocal skills you have ... I've never heard you sing like that, but you pull it off very competently. Reminds me of the kind of thing I used to hear at the cinema in the days when it only cost 12-and-a-half pence to get in. |

For some reason... ...I picture you sat around the family piano, adopting the Noel Coward accent and performing to the parents at any given opportunity (while they wonder whether or not sending you to music school was money well spent). It probably wasn't like that at all - but - hey, I wasn't there.... Enjoyable ditty. I think you could camp it up a bit more (e.g. more Noel) on the vocal and then you'd be on Sunday Night Is Music Night on the BBC in no time. (Or was it Friday nights?) Oh I can't remember.... Phil |

XTC? As Smokey said, this reminds me of Andy Partridge but it goes places Andy wouldn't. Beautiful arrangement and some very solid piano playing. Lyrics are great, innocent yet knowing. Ever thought about a blond wig? Cheers Dick |

What a lovely and well written song. Found this immensely enjoyable. You really have a great talent and your ability to perform in so many styles amazes me. I am a big fan. Downloaded. Thanks. Cheers Len |

Wow The music college did not go to waste. I see what you meant by the silouette picture (which by the time of getting to write this has been changed), it was very close to the one on my japanese dream track. Very funny. The track is very good and jolly. Its a pleasuerable listening experience because of the jolliness. Lovely track, well done. |

taking the risk of being repetitive I risk being repetitive here, but you are a true genious. Never know what to expect when listening a new post from you. But always so inventive, This one doesn't sound like anything else I've heard at mj. Very nice, and fun! |

I'm reminded of a work called Floyd Collins by Adam Guetel - it's a song cycle / contemporary opera. This is really refreshing and smart. That music college paid off. Somehow - since you've been here you've morphed from busker to art song composer. The coconut hoof percussion is great. By the way - I think your version is better than what Doris would ever do - but I could hear a young Judy Garland giving this a go. |

When musical westerns return to Broadway I think this tune could be the one that people leave the theatre humming. Nice touch with the catchy melody that seems to bounce so happily along, with one verse running smoothly into the next. Interesting key change toward the end of the verse that sets this apart from a simpler western-style song. Bravo! Cheers, Doug |

The journey Richard, Not only is your music wonderfully upbeat, you carry your listener right along the road with you. You have a marvelous talent and I really appreciate it. I am going to poke around just to see what else you have in store. Wonderful! Stephen |
