Hey Kate! Thanks for the glowing review of "Cowboy's Lullabye (Bovine Guy). Made my day :D
Great! That was a while back...
thanks, Bill, for taking the time to review "Big Dog, Little Dog". Ciao for now :D
Hi Delta, you hit the nail on the head with your critique , and thanks for your lovely review! Yes, you did hear drums, and no, I couldn't afford a backup singer.....as for my voice, it will always be rough :D, but I think the pitch was there. We recorded live with two Roland Edirols in an old home as an experiment...not too bad for doing it on the cheap, haha!
Wednesday.....I have to let my ears do the work when I review because I have no tech skills to give someone advise on things in a song. Did you write your song....I have not tried for song writing...I just pay the man at the studio to get my music happening. I am luck that the man is brilliant and can ware a pile of hats......annnnd I can't do harmony with out a lot of help.......we all just do the best we can....are we friends? Be mine please!
Hi Eric, thanks for reviewing "Lovely Loon". You're right, the pace could have been picked up, but, it's in the can , as they say. Big love from Canuk-land to Kiwi-ville :D
No Worries take care. Eric
Thanks for your great review of my song 'Not Just For Tonight'. All the best for your future. :-)
Hi. "Methadone Dream" received a great review from you and I thank you for that. It was based on a real life situation that I took poetic license with , don't know whatever happened to the couple but hope they made it through their trials and tribulations.
Dave thanks sooh much for your great review of my "Killing Me " agree 100% with you ,I recorded it at The Soundgallery and the engineer had masses of gear and tweaked the harmonies incredibly well i remember on first playback i burst out laughing saying it sounds like the Von Katon Family Singers ! ha ha, I just turned 65 last 11/02/14 and hope to redo it there again, it was actually written as a male female duet so you hit the nail on the head ! please look up my experimental instrumental version of it on my profile ,rather messey but had great fun with it Blessings JK Exeter Devon )0( )0(
Dave, thanks so much for the great review of "This is My Life". I try :D.
HI Dave hope you had a fab Yule ? thanks fer review of my "Killing Me" and I agree 200% with you. it was originally composed as male/female duet as yet have not found "Miss right " it is very much influenced by sequences from "the Snow /goose " by Camel . have a fab 2015 ! )0( )0( )0(
Wednesday my Child. You is God's Child, as am I. May God cause His light to shine upon you, and make you merry and bright. Be the Light. Old Nick
Thanks, Nick!!!
Hi Jon, thanks for your nice review of "Methadone Dream". Yes, haha, I'm always a bit rough around the vocal edges...character voice....so I'll never be able to match the smoothness of the musicians. I have fun writing and recording though :D
Hi Larry, "Move Along With It All" has a nice, gentle flow to it which is augmented by your voice. It's a simple tune with simple lyrics but sometimes that's what good songs are made of (Hank Williams for example). Loved the harmonica and picking.
Thank you, my friend. I appreciate your comments. I sincerely do.
Hey Larry, you got me again. Glad you liked Porch Swing. I am on tour right now and YES I sing it a lot, especially at my shows for senior citizens. As you may well imagine, there is a story that goes along with the song. Wish I had the time to tell you about the Porch Swing Lady. Tonight I played at the Collier County Library down in Naples, FL. Nice gig! God bless you and hope we meet on BJ again. Mrs. Kate
Hi Larry...thanks for your extremely positive review of "Borderline". I'm very lucky as was able to gather some ace musicians to do this...the guitar player, Les Cornell, is classically trained but able to put his ear and soul to anything. I might shop it to some NPR stations but I've been so busy I haven't had time to concentrate on this project. Hoping to hear you soon!!!!
Hey Mexmo, many thanks for your very generous review of "Big Dog, Little Dog". I drove my van all through Mexico a few years ago and had such great help in Sonara (Hermasillo) when it broke down, from a bunch of VW Club members. Will never forget the generosity and friendship shown!!!!
Hey Joe! Thanks so much for your more than generous review of "Cowboy's Lullabye" !!!! Such encouragment goes a long way :D
you got it WEDNESDAY--hope you doin all right!--cheers--joe.
Hey Andy! Thanks for reviewing 'The Lone Star'. Your kind words are really appreciated. A big 'hi, eh?' from Canada to you :D
Hi Kara, thanks for reviewing "The Lone Star". Yup, that's my vocals, I'm not a songbird...I call myself 'the raven' :D.
My pleasure! I like that... 'the raven." :)
Hi Steve, thanks for reviewing "Cowboy's Lullabye". Enjoy the day and keep on writing!!!
Andrew, thanks for the review on nights are so lonely, your review was very informative and constructive, all my lyrics really do come from the heart so I am glad that has come across. I thank you for your feedback and take it all on board. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks again
OH ya, forgot to add that in Methadone Dream, the chorus seems really personal because of the mention of Jesus, but that's because despite these junkie's addictiions they both maintained christianity as their religion. I thought it was kinda weird, but whatever, so figured if J-Man was going to come to them he'd do better just coming as a ordinary looking guy instead of one in flowing robes. Haha, you prob don't remember the song :D
Hi Superband...really get a kick out of your name D. Thanks for reviewing "Methadome Dream"....ya, it was based on a true story from a time i lived in the shelters, so in the tradiition of folk it tells a story. I see the recording didn't grab you, which isn't unusual, it was done live on two Roland Edirols (us folk alternatives always looking at different ways to record :) ). The song is pretty well cemented so there's no going back now but do appreciate your input !!!!
Hey I did like it, I was just observing ways it could be enhanced. I think it's very god work and the personal expression moved me
Very good work was what I meant to type.. A divinely inspired typo?
Hola Oskar! Many thanks for your generous review of my song "Big Dog Little Dog".
greetings yes nice music very lovely
Hi John and thanks for reviewing "Lovely Loon"...now you know what a Canadian loon sounds like (on two fronts :D ). On the CD there is a First Nations myth narrated about how the look got her spots by helping a blind man, and this was interwoven into the song. I don't know about the commercial vitality of the song either as folk doesn't merit much attention, however, it did win merit on the CBC, ABC and NPR stations. Good luck with your endeavors!!! Thanks again.
Whoops-a-daisy....didn't know there was a friendship connect thing, so my apologies to those who requested to connect (yikes, some were from 11 months ago!!!). I've done the deed now, yay :D
Hi Phil...thanks for the review of my song "New Mexico" which you entitled "Purple Vision". It's an old song from the late 90's and had it's hayday on NPR, CBC and the Australian Broadcasting Corp.. Vocal style is vocal style so whether notes are slid up to or hit bang on is subjective to one's preference; I find it more feedback more useful if preference is stated. But good luck with your stuff, rock on and all that kind of good stuff.
Hiya Wednesday! Happy Boxing day :) Just wanted to thanks you for your every helpful and kind review of my song, :The Bridge". And thank you for turning me on the the Cash Brothers. What a cool sound!!! Cheers!
No prob, Dave...have yourself a happy season!
Wednesday, thanks so much for your review of Live From Love. It's definitely pre-production, done at home and needs work. I do appreciate all of your feedback!
Hey, keep at it!!!!!! You're a diamond in the rough and that's a good thing :D
That's so sweet of you to say, thank you! I love the vibe of Down To The Ground. Great song.
Thanks! :D
ps, just listened to the tune again,,,still a quality bit 'o writing ma'am...and hell, they are quoting me? hell, i better do more reviews, only "action" i'm gettin' LOL...xoxo
Mr. Hein! I don't get it, who's quoting you? You and me both on the lack-da-action front :D. Lucky I write for my soul!!!!
oh, click on your song, and you'll see 2 of the reviews...i just noticed it last week myself...it's all good stuff...xoxo
Hey Kara, thanks for reviewing "Methadone Dream". We recorded live with two Roland Edirols..it was the big experiment. I doubt we'll record again with what is considered 'proper' studio equipment...after all, that's part of what folk-alternative movement is all about - to get as far away from the 1% as possible :D
hello, Wendy-Girl. so very glad to see you still believe in Tink. as always, peter
Peege!!!! Tink rules :D. Take the music stage by storm, my friend! :D
Hey Kate, thanks for reviewing "Stand in Pride". I wrote about this song in reaction to all the bullying that goes on. the vocal are me (female with low alto to tenor) and yes, they get very strained, we'd been recording live and by the time we got to this one I'd had it, but, decided to put it up as a 'song' not a vocal showcase :D. As for Jesus, there are many different teachings and interpretations on the homosexuality bit, the most infamous being Leveticus where there are strong contradictions , some saying it's wrong, others saying it's right....perhaps Leveticus was confused? I don't really want to enter debate on this, i live my life as a First Nations woman (Canadian Native Indian) and two-spirits (gays) held a place of honour in the tribe.
Thanks for getting back to me, Wednesday...I think I have reviewed some of your other songs in the past. Who could forget a name like Wednesday? Praying for you, my friend...Mrs Kate
And praying for you, Kate. Haha, Wednesday is what my family calls me :D. My Plains Cree name is Waseeya, which means 'the light' and a Tsu T'ina elder and one of my teachers (I'm a healer) named me Goatchcha cha na sen (Queen Mountain).
Wednesday thanks for the honest and helpful review of my tune "Her Elixer" I was curious with the vocal effect I was experiencing with and the feedback although it be a thumbs down is helpful. This is what I like about this site and the review process. It hels to grow as a wirter and musician.
Hello little stickman wearing shades and playing a guitar!!! ya, ya gotta experiment, that's what life is all about :D
Hey thanks for the review of ''The White Dress'' Yea it's short because it had to fit into a specific ad spot Also because it's mainstream advertising, the lyrics are as far left field as I felt they needed to be Thanks again Earl
Good to know the scoop on "White Dress"....thanks for filling me in - lovely tune!
Have no idea what your comment meant on the review of my song: GOOD BYE BABY GOOD BYE
KILLUMINATI IS A WORD THAT STANDS AS A PURPOSE TO USE SERVANTHOOD IN LIFE TO STOP THE EVIL PEOPLE WHO ARE RUNNING THE WORLD..THATS WHAT MY MUSIC IS FOR..I JUST LIKE SPREADING THE WORD TO LET OTHERS KNOW I HAVE LOVE FOR THE WORLD.! ONE LOVE.!
CHECK OUT MY SONG "T.H.U.G L.I.F.E" AND ITLL EXPLAIN IT FOR YOU
Oh, OK. Thanks for the explanation.
NO PROBLEM.!
Interesting to read your review of "The Lonestar", which you decided should be called "Baby You" when those lyrics aren't even in there. Oh ya, and what's with putting KILLILLUMINATI in both comment boxes....what, you think you're the only one who knows about the Illuminati? Anyways, the song and CD did very well on NPR, Canada, Australia and Northern Europe, thank you very much. As well the musicians you rated as '3' played for people like k.d. lang, Tina Turner, Brian Adams, Spirit of the West, yadda yadda....so as you see I can't take your review seriously ..... where's your 'one love' on this?
I DID THAT WITH EVERYBODYS BECAUSE ITS THE MAIN MISSION RIGHT NOW..IM RUNNING A PEACE MOVEMENT..BUT BESIDES THAT I DIDNT REALLY GIVE IT A REAL REVIEW SINCE I HAD 50 TO DO BU
BUT I WILL RE REVIEW IT
