Hey, I listened, I liked the song (I have a friend who does similar stuff "lounge singer style"), but to be honest I don't really know how to approach it from a critique point of view except to say it made me smile... Geo

I never figured this would get a huge response because of the genre and era..Its funny how different boards have had different levels of interest.I just got a message from Phill.Seems he s ready to work on it some more.It like to see music to the lyric as I originally wrote it ,more as a lyrical conversation than as a songThanks for listening thru..J
