Tom, I really enjoyed this song, it had an late 60's or early 70's feel (I don't mean the mainstream pop of that time) for me--which I dig.
"Cool," is the best word to descibe this song. To me it has a blend of "pop" & blues." The tempo keeps it a little more "blues/pop" for me--you kind of put me in the mind of "The Kink's" lead singer. If you slowed it down a bit, (not saying that you should) it could be a powerful blues tune kind of Clapton-esk. You could even add a sax and some brass and take it in the direction of "The Paul Butterfield Band." It's good as is, but I like exploring the different possibilities with music. I really like the song, good luck with it!

Eddie, I enjoy your music and your posts to other songs. You really give it some thought. Late 60's or early 70's feel? Make sense, I was playing in the 70's and is my favorite music period. Kink's Ray Davies, cool liked him, He wasn't that great of singer either... I'm really a fan of JJ Cale...not such a great singer but what a great player and writer. Paul Butterfield? What a neat idea. This is an old song, never cared for it that much, think the lyrics are sappy and hate my vocals, but have found that it kinda grows on me over the years. I recorded it on a 4 track casette recorder and transfered to audicity and sent to Sub who enhanced it...so I don't have masters, although I really like your ideas and may just start it from scratch using BIAB or something like that... I do have a sax-playing friend (still playing) who played in the Air Force show band most of his life, who has said he would do some tracks for me. You kinda got me thinking here...so thanks for the listen for your insights. tom

Hey Mackie, My lyrics always need trimming...too much to say and not enough time to say it Thanks for listening to some other songs out on soundclick...I was afraid they were going to kick me off due to a general lack of interest. tom

Sappy? No way Brother. I think it's sort of a laid back Zut Suit... Stray Cat Strut... cool.
I think the lyrics fits the period perfectly and the music is right on point.
Hey maybe it's me but I'm singing along and I think you can make all the words fit right in the groove.
I hope you buddy lays down some sax for you and you take the song another step forward.
I like it.
Oh yeah...Pleased to meet cha.
