Zeek: I eased off on the drums a tad and tried to level out the vocals a little.

...I think my main nit with this is that it didn't grab me emotionally. I couldn't empathize with a kid wanting something that bad. ... but I would have rather had the kid wanting it for someone else--some kind of twist that ties it all together. ....who wouldn't be heart-tugged with a kid doing everything he can to get a truck for a sick friend or a kid that has no dad, etc?...
I understand -- but that's another song. This story will stay as is, but maybe next Christmas, I'll tackle your good idea. Thanks for the visit and thoughtful comments.

Mackie: I am going to go with "Many years ago ...." when I get a chance to re-record. I tried to add a little mutli-band EQ to the vocals to get more "sparkle" in there -- but I don't think I know what knobs to turn to get a sparkle!! Thanks for stopping by and giving it a spin.

R. Shayne: Thanks for chiming in. Yea, I probably should sneak in "Red Fire Truck" again -- but I didn't get that done this time around.

Scott: "we spent the week fixing, painting, making it look sleek" That line is a little tough. I hear you on the lift into the chorus -- I sort of talk or lose a little energy there. I'll have to revisit that. Thanks for giving it a spin again this year.

Dottie: You picked out the same areas as Scott (and others!). Thanks for the listen and comments.

Cognac: Thanks for taking the time to listen and leave a few words.

Calvin: I sort of like this one myself (ha, ha)! Merry Okeechobee Christmas.

Mike: I had to throw little GI Joe action in there! I've adjusted the drums and vocals a little -- we'll see how it goes.

Dan: I had already adjusted the drums a little by the time you got there. Thanks for stopping on by!!

Thanks to all and to all, a Merry Christmas season!

Kevin
