Hi JM & Calvin,
Very sweet. I agree with Donna, the whistling throughout does add a special touch to this. Are there any sections where you actually have replicated the sound of a love-bird? I don't mean using a recording of one...just did you listen to any recordings and try to match the tone/quality of it? It works very well as is, I'm just curious.
The "beat" in this one is cool too, sort of syncopated. It makes it sort of bouncy...which I think is appropriate given the subject matter.
Finally, I love the picture of the birdies you're using on your Soundclick listing. It does appear one is whispering sweet nothings to the other!
Sounds like you were having fun....so thanks for sharing that feeling with us.
Have a neat day, Beth

Hi!
Well, you two seem to have these collab thing down to a fine science. Another good one!
Other folks have already beat me to a couple of my comments...the whistling is great, and spelling of "beak". Now, I can easily imagine Calvin in a Looney Tunes cap...no problem. But, I can't really see you, jm, in of those things!
Another delightful musical interlude. Thanks!
Alan

Hi JM & Calvin,
Very sweet, lyrically and musically. Love the whistle! Only thing I'd think about changing is this line: "Love birds resemble you and me" I'd say, "Love birds just like you and me". A little less awkward. Just a tiny thing to let you know I care!

Hi Joice and Calvin,
I like this alot! How can this be two chords, and so good?
The "cheek to cheek" part is very charming.
The lyric, singing, music, all nice!

Hi Beth
Happy Mother's Day !
Thanks for tuning in- YES it Was a lot of fun working on this. Glad that you enjoyed it. On the birds - I did do a bit of searching for actual love bird sounds - found a video on Youtube... it appears that they are just like parrots -- so they learn what you teach them --- and in Some case Don't .... sing that is .... I did not find any specific "tune' to copy.... However -- I have lots of bird sound right out side my home and That is how the idea of including the whistle came about.... I made the tune up as I went drawing on the sounds in my memory and how it sounded against the melody of the words.
Long explanation - but once I started - It felt right. : ) j m

Hi Alan
Ha - I like your comments ! Well you Know, I'm sure when you collaborate with someone as nice as Calvin - it sure makes the going good and fun !
We do Nod at the proper spelling - thanks... I decided to Not edit here and honor Tweety Bird -- but we'll correct it for Our official lyric sheet copies.
I Know I do come off as straight and serious --- but I have a Looney Tune side too. !!
Thanks for liking the song and whistling thing ! jm
