Thanks for the review of the nap song! Mrs Kate



Hi Steve, Thanks for a kind review of Night Of Love. I'm a bit of a fraud in that it's Greg Lambert's song sung by Julia Schmidt, my part was only the orchestration. A few years ago, when I heard the original with simple, but effective, guitar accompaniment, I asked Greg if I could have a go at a full arrangement. He was happy for me to do that, and happy with the outcome, both versions are on his site.
It's a wonderful song and Julia is in a class of her own.

Thanks again,
Bob

Hello Steve, Thanks for the review of Faithful Servant! I wanna be one! My friend Cindy (age 50) was a faithful servant. She just passed away yesterday and is now with the Lord. It was sudden and unexpected and hard. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones. (Psalms). She was one for sure. MK

It was a wonderful song. So sorry about your loss. I find that when i experience a similar trauma, i tend to write a spiritual song soon there after. God bless

Thanks, guys, she was a gem. I really feel sorry for her husband...it was all so sudden. Before her illness, her friend told me she was the picture of perfect health. I know she is with the Lord now. It's just those she's left behind...



Hello Kate. I am way late getting around to thanking you for the reviews of my songs "First Christmas" and "Puttin' On The Dog". Very useful and insightful for me. The verse for the karma line in "Puttin' On The Dog" goes ...

Holds a brew or two
Has a clever set of plastic tubes
Hands-free sips whenever you're inclined
Comes with cautions, dos and don'ts
Have to sign and swear you won't
Karma tends to mess with thirsty minds.

Thanks again. Dave Mercer

Frank, Thank you for the review of "I Will Follow Him" I use to sing this back in the day, it was my mantra for the person I would marry.. well I did and followed him around the world, Europe (Germany) during Vietnam era... to India, Singapore... I have never been sorry. It has been quite the ride....again thank you for your thoughtful review...in music Delta

Hi, Kate.

I just listened to "Mothers with Messy Kids Unite" out of curiosity. Delightfully funny tune that could easily apply beyond the childhood years. The Washer Woman motif works very well and you juxtaposed it with a good powerful march, making it more interesting. Of course, you have great inflections in your vocals. I've been redoing several of my songs to replace my own hideous vocals. Chopin's Sonata #2 in B-flat minor is a hilarious touch at the end!

Have you noticed how the soundscape of popular and country music has changed? Seems like the lyrics have narrowed and become so surface, tough and mean. I remember your terrific review of "She Has a Way," remarking that I focused on working within the relationship instead of love always being equated with a roll in the hay. Songs used to be like that with songs from David Gates of Bread, the beautiful harmonies of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young with songs about real life without being vulgar, the amazing arrangements by Richard Carpenter, the emotions and finesse of Joni Mitchell and storytelling of Gordon Lightfoot. They just don't write them like that anymore!

I think I remember another humorous one of yours done in something of a ragtime about toilet training for kids. You have a way of touching on the most everyday of situations with kids and to do it in entertaining, tasteful ways. I've listened to several of today's kids songs but your style of songwriting for kids should set the gold standard.

Well, didn't think I'd write this many sentences. I've been quiet on BJ lately as I'd like to get out of Arizona. It will be tricky as retirement limits the incomes of a former graphic designer and teacher, both who worked for the state, but with the pandemic still going full force, we're glad we're out!

John, here it is March 27 and I just now saw this. So sorry! I am so thankful for your supportive comments about my songs. I know this is a gift from God and I am meant to use it and share it, so when it blesses someone, and I get to hear about it, I rejoice and give glory to God. You are the ONLY ONE who ever picked up on the Irish Washer Woman motif. Bravo for you! I uploaded a couple of new songs. Take a listen if you get a chance...many more to come from my new album Marvel. My sister lives in Flagstaff (part time). Where in AZ do you live? Tim and I camped there on our RV trip around the USA. Your friend, Mrs. Kate

Hi, Kate! You're not late at all. Sometimes I get replies a year later but that's the nature of websites where messages are buried in links and clicks. I live in Phoenix though I'd love to get out of this city...and I'm looking. I have camped and traveled in several places in northern Arizona...Flagstaff, St. Marys Road to Payson (Amherst Lake and another place near Camp Verde), Sedona, along the Mogollon Rim, of course the Grand Canyon on a foggy morning. Oh, yes, I'll go back to listen to your most recent songs. Your friend, John

thanks John. I don't listen to the radio. Most of the songs I hear are at church or when I review on BJ. I try to keep my mind clear so I can create. Works for me. Just wrote a new song this week called Wheelchair Romance...inspired by 2 oldsters smooching during one of my senior shows! MK

Hi Nick, many thanks for a kind review of I Really Want You Tonight (I wish I gave my songs shorter titles!). It's getting on in years now, 21 years to be precise, so I'm pleased it's held up so well. Not sure I could sing it in that key now!!

Just listened to Been Down This Road and loved it, you have a great stock of songs.

Many thanks again, much appreciated.

Massive appreciation for taking the time to give your review to my song Kate, "When You Gonna Hit"!
You were kindly thorough and I did not expect it to be up there with the best, so I am in agreement it does not command a higher grading!
I'm glad you liked the Story!
Yes the hanky with JB was a little obscure but you spotted it! Good girl!
Regards to hubby!

Hi Jim

Whenever we say goodbye to someone who is leaving our house, Tim waves a white hanky and acts like he's crying and gonna miss them terribly. Kind of a family tradition started by his late mother. He is totally a hanky guy, never uses kleenex...just a little bit of Carpenter family trivia. Snot kidding.

Thanks Kate for the review... You are right about the banjo hiding... As an instrumental for sure..... But most of the track I do are for song bed purposes. They all get remixed after the Top Line is in....

Kate,
Thanks for reviewing Time to End It. I pretty much agree with your constructive criticism. I'm a marginal vocalist at best, and most of my tunes have little commercial application. Yeah, and the length, I just "could stop" playing guitar ( yup time to end it)!

Thank you for your very generous review of Aire In A Minor!
Indeed, the guitar and violin "voicing" are all real instrumentations. It is gratifying to know there are discerning
listeners that can discriminate actual live performances.

Oh cool. Sometimes when the genre is folk traditional i don't know what to think.

When I was much, much younger, I listened to a lot of Fairport Convention, Pentangle, etc., so there is the influence from my deep recesses.



Hi again Kate,
Thank you so much for your review of my rendition of "Silent Night". Your comments and perspective really made me feel grateful... grateful that this gave someone the warm and positive feeling it did for me.

I truly appreciate you taking the time to listen and provide such detailed and meaningful comments.

Thanks again and be safe and well through the holidays!

We just wanted to say thank you to all listeners of our music. We know its not as clean and polished as some. We are always trying to tell a story and evoke an emotion. Often what we do has political overtones or something controversial. We were trained to build to a dynamic endpiece, and we do that often. We love sweet and yet often imperfect vocals and stories that touch and move people in different ways. We say...be yourself!Not a version of someone else...malin and vernon...
