Hi, Barry. Excellent and precise review of "If the World Ends." Like you, I'll admit to personal picky preferences and yours are definitely valid...and you give examples which is a plus. I really like such ideas as "shoreline shrinks." I would have liked to have met you before completing the song, though songs do grow with time. A story I remember: Gerry Beckley's original lyric in "Sister Golden Hair" was, "Will you meet me in Virginia, Will you meet me when I'm there." When Jackson Browne sang it with him, Brown changed it to, "Will you meet me in the middle, Will you meet me in the air." Gerry liked it. Anyway, kudos to your excellent songwriting and mindful reviews! John
I like that example... "meet me in the middle" could be anyone's "Virginia" and thus a more universal song... Keep creating!!
Thanks you for the insightful review of my song "Lights in Brooklyn" - I appreciate the positive comments and constructive thoughts-- I listened to some you your stuff -- you properly approach sound beds in that they evoke a definite mood... "Inner Desolation" is perfect for a film character or characters' montage of self reflection and introspection... Keep creating!
Hey Barry, you are most welcome - and thanks a lot for your comments on "Inner Desolation", you totally got the vibe of it - I appreciate insightful comments like yours because it lets me know what I intended to send out there arrived! Yes let's keep creating ! Cheers :) Diane
Hey, Barry. "Last of Me" has a brilliant chorus that is a unique contrast to the verses. Very well done! "Susie Make a Choice" is a clever and catchy romp. Your songwriting takes clever imaginative twists and turns that stand out. I like it a lot! Terrific stuff! John
Thank you very much for the listens and the feedback---- glad to have you as an associate here!!
Hi There-- thanks for the review and positive words regarding my song "Lights in Brooklyn",,, I listened to some of your stuff, really like "Raindrop Soul"... keep creating!
Your much welcome, Barry! I gave it five stars across the board but somehow it didn't take on BJ's server software. That happens once in awhile. Thank you for the compliment on my songs and "Raindrop Soul," which I consider to be my most beautiful. I'll drop by some more.

Hey Barry, Thanks so much for the 5 stars on "Will Always Be With You". So glad you liked it! Frank
Hi Barry, Much thanks for the 5 stars on my songs: Spring Time and Moods of Electra. I appreciate you taking the time to have a listen, and I'm really glad you liked them! While I'm here I'll have a listen to a song or two. Thanks again, Frank
I enjoyed the listening!! Keep creating....
Hey Frank thanks for adding my "Strung In" sound cue to your play list --- I just noticed this from a few weeks ago my apologies for delay-- I sincerely appreciate our connection here on Brodjam and lets keep creating!!!
No worries on the delay.. I'm a bit behind on Broadjam stuff myself. Frank
Hey Barry, Thanks so much for the 5 stars on "Just Time For Me To Go". I really appreciate you listening and am glad you liked it! Be and stay well! Frank
hey I enjoyed the tune -- keep creating! I have been sidetracked for a bit but plan to work on new stuff soon...
Hi- Enjoyed listening to some of your songs-- I will say you have a knack for capturing/focusing a certain vibe and feel in each tune which is good "magic" in terms of soundtrack versus top-40 hit... - not overproduced or over-thought -- something I can learn from... Otherwise the guitar work in your version of Summer (Summertime) is fantastic...
Barry, you are a gentleman and a scholar! Thanks for the kind words; they are well received! Much success to you! LC Team
Hi Barry, It's a been a minute since I've visited your page... I'll have a listen to a tune or two while I'm here. I just wanted to say thanks for listening Ing and reviewing "When I'm With You". I really appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment! Thanks again and have a great day... be safe and well! Frank
My pleasure, I enjoyed the listen--- I do have a new one "The Last Of Me" which is a more emotional piece, quite different than my other recent tunes, always a risk to go sad with a song!! Keep creating !!!
ok
Barry thanks for the great review of Google it! Mrs Kate
I enjoyed it, clever and musically fun.
Hey Jim Aitken-- thanks for the listen and the stars on my new song "The Last Of Me" --- much appreciated... have a great weekend and keep creating!!!
I like good music. You fit the bill! I see my song, One Night Stand" has just secured No.1 on the Earth Chart here! Superb!
Barry, just listened to your newest song, there's a few pitchy places in the vocals, that need to be fixed, but it's got some really funny lines, great comedic country tune!! I was reviewing your Bio and you have some really serious Companies plugging your material, very cool!! Art Corey...............
I appreciate the comment coming from a prolific artist/combo like yourselves.... I'm coming off a medical issue that paralyzed my throat so vocals are a weak spot of late, can only record them a piece at a time over days.... I am having fun with it either way --- -- references to all the published stuff from music companies is mostly instrumental and not on Broadjam here due to their rights of distribution -- but the relationships were initiated here on Broadjam.... and for all the effort and volume of tunes I probably average only $40-50 in royalties a quarter --- yes the music biz is alive and well !!!!! haa haa Thanks again Art!!!!
Barry I saw your post about your throat. Try coffee with honey and lemon, yes lemon in it. works for me in the studio and changes my mediocre voice to more Elvis Presley! ha ha! Good Luck! catnip=+=
"Full of Beer" is in same mode as 'Lift up a Bottle"! I like your great lyrics! "Dream with me" is different from others I have heard? Shows your sensitive side! You are a multi talented artist! Sure, we should listen to each others craft. I do not have many songs, since I wrote and recorded my first song (and maybe best) "The Promise" in 2021. So, it will not take you long to hear them.
Thank you Jim-- Very kind comments..... I enjoy trading listens with you and I know I have had one or more of yours come up in review process, I will make it a point to hear more on your list. Have a great day!
Likewise Barry, I've enjoyed your songs and will obviously hear more! Appreciate the stars for my two songs! Sing on brother!
Thanks Barry for your review of my song "What's It All About". Have a wonderful and successful year! Christine
My pleasure I enjoyed the listen --- keep creating and all the best to you
Hi Barry, Thanks for the nice review of "I Know". Yeah, not really radio material, but I haven't listened to much radio in decades. Need to revisit the horn parts sometime...computer was glitching on the outro... Thanks again, Bill
Hey-- I enjoyed the listen --- and the only radio I listen to is playing the same song lists I heard in the 60-70's ........
Hey Barry, Glad you got a kick out of Wanda the Wiper. It's actually a true story from one of my tours. Her name was really Elaine Mason. I had to track her down by internet search, but I finally found her and sent her the CD with her song...like 8 years after my visit to her restaurant. She was pretty thrilled to be immortalized in my song. Always fun to perform! Mrs. Kate
Haaa- nice to know the real story!
Hi Barry, Thanks so much for the review and meaningful comments on "I Like His Kinda Luvin". I really appreciate you truly listening and providing perspectives that reflect your level of listening/interest. Thanks again... and be well! And while I'm here, I'll check out some more of your music.... it's been a while. Frank
My pleasure I enjoyed the listen--- keep creating!!
Hello "Sky High" Folks --- Thanks for the review of "We Just Used To Drive"....... I appreciate the vote of confidence from someone steeped in the biz... I self-produce all my stuff in a home studio so the goal is to sell the song... not consider the production as top commercial quality --- I am glad you understand an artist's song crafting and not nit-pick over the production.... (even though I know I can make is sound pretty damn good... :) ) I am going to listen to some of your stuff this morning....
Hey Barry, Thanks for the great review of My Own Worst Enemy, much appreciated! There is another, heavier version of that tune on my page about half way down. The vocalist thought it would be fun to post a couple of versions. Best, George
Hey-- my pleasure I enjoyed the tune -- I will listen to the other version soon.... Keep creating!!
Hey George I listened to the hard version ---- loved it --- 5-stars all the way, very well arranged and produced--- in my opinion plucked right out of the 80's-90's rock era
Hey Barry, Thanks for checking it out! That was the original idea and my fav. I'm def a 70's 80's 90's rock guy although I do tend to wander into other territory. Thanks again for listening and the kind words! Best, George
Hey there thanks for the review of "we just used to drive" --- I listened to your stuff and really really like the range of material and in particular the short sound beds that set a mood and feel---- I hope you have good luck, keep creating and thanks again!
Hello Barry; you're welcome, and thanks. Stay safe and have a great week.
