Thanks for the feedback on my song! Inspired by a lot of craziness I've experienced from youth to being a parent of now adult children. Crazy that the unction to wanna hand out "butt citations" still relevant no matter how old people get! Yes I do remember your song "Dancing Naughty Tonight" Very fun song as well! I'd love to be BrodJam Buddies and check out more of your tunes as well! Lookin forward to more fun creativity!

Good Morning, RedLady!
Just shootin' you a quick THANK you for a thorough review of the song "WE". I put this song on Broadjam over a year ago wondering if anyone other than my immediate family or friends had heard it yet. I sincerely wanted the input of a total stranger, hoping to make them a new acquaintance. I'm looking forward to delivering more and even hearing some of your material as well.

Thanks again for the encouragement!

Thank you for your input on my song "Bling Ride" that you called "Yea". I kinda like your name for it better too. You're input wasn't disrespectful, its HONEST which I totally love. I had to chuckle though because I never intended tobhave any direction for it. Just turned on my keyboard workstation and started recordin for fun about 17yrs ago and a friend loved it enough to use for his wedding exit song. I thought that was hilarious too. It ended up on this platform just part of a mass upload to see what others think. Thanks again!

Dear HAWC, you just reviewed our song,"Dancing Naughty Tonight". Your review was spot-on! We saw this old guy at a Beach Cafe a Local Hang-out and this guy was 99 years old and he was strutting his stuff! We thought it looked so cool, that this senior citizen is still relevant!! So, from that....we wrote the lyrics to the tune! The song was originally composed as an instrumental ten years earlier and we turned it into a SONG! It's meant to be a tribute song to older individuals, keep on Dancing, no matter how old you are!!!
WE are seniors ourselves! Oh and that vocal near the end, that you thought should be a real voice, is me thru some App I had just purchased. I thought it sounded kind of Black sounding!! We love old Black Music, R&B and Soul! Not too keen on the Hip Hop & Rap, but understand the importance of protest of the lyrics and these times!!
Glad that the tune kept your interest and made you chuckle!! I believe we succeeded in our attempts.........

Toodles.......& Stay Safe Sir!!!
The Corey's............

If you have time, would love to hear back from you!! Your picture on Broad Jam looks pretty COOL!!
Oh, the Sax player (Jerry Peterson) on our composition, just passed away from Covid about three weeks ago! He will be sadly missed. He was the sax player for the L.A. group........Billy Vera & The Beaters!!

Oh wow, I'm sorry to hwar about the loss of Jerry! I listened to a few tracks with the sax and it reminded me a bit of a close friend who plays sax with me from time to time who os in his 70's. I enjoy a lot of your music. Im sorry I didn't score higher, I realozed I forgot to go back and score each category because I jumped right into commenting since I was so anxious to speak about the song. I really enjoyed it! I love stuff like that! Anxious to hear more!

Hey thanks for the review of my instrumental version of my tune What ya gonna do? You were right - all done on one synth - I have very little kit sadly! I'm first and foremost a bass player but learnt keys as a youngster and now play by ear. Thanks for your take! Good Luck to you!

John, thank you for the thorough review of "Special You", it was written for a wedding back around '98 and recorded shortly after with a Korg Trinity, but I've always wanted to redo it with newer & authentic instruments.

Thanks for your review of Believe in Love Hawc, it was written and recorded in the 90s so always thought of re-doing it and modernizing it like getting real horns this time around. lol

Thanks very much HAWC on your review of "Groove Fondue" it's very much appreciated.



Thanks for the review and fun comments on my song "Dance". Glad you picked up on the Fred Hammond nod and such. It was very much intended as a throw back to that era that had the most influence on my musicianship. ALL instrumentation was sequenced and synced by midi across 3 different synth platforms & workstations, Korg Trinity, Roland XV50/50 and Yamaha Motif Classic...all recorded in 2006. LOL ...thanks for listening

Me again. Hey, thanks for listening to my Gospel play song titled "Restoration." I appreciate the comments. Early on in my writing I was told that I could write to just about anything and when I say ANYTHING, I mean tracks that were not the greatest. It has taken me 6 years to build my teams of artists and producers. Early on I had to take what I could get. Now I don't have to so you may hear some of my older songs written to "not so great" tracks. LOL :)

Thank you so much for tge encouraging review on "Give Him Glory", however I wish I could tell you what the last lyric was. This was written by a friend from Tanzania so it's something in Swahili, but it was done so long ago and I've lost contact with him to ask. Sorry, but we did a LOT of good worship songs like this together (15+) that never got released.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to listen, rate and comment on the instrumental to "Love Is In The Air". This was just the instrumental which is actually tied to the song. The reason I separated the two was due to an opportunity for placement for it without the vocals. Feel free to check out the song on my page "Love Is In The Air". Thanks again. :)

Hey there! Thanks for the review of my song Bad Girl. Honestly, I don't even think I still have the stems to this project. One of my producers and myself was playing around in the studio and did this on the whim! Let me see if I still have them. This is one of my oldie but goodies! I love the vibe too! The instrumental track is an old one as well. Something simple and pretty basic but I may not have that either! Will let you know! #goodtimes :)

My father was born and raised in Columbus Oh.

You look like a rapper...

But your review told me you have a lot of heart.

I bet...

You just need a good producer to cut your vocals to some music in new ways.

Half through "WE".. I can see you wanna see a production through.

I'm just listening on Genelecs and thinking you need a producer.

I'll tell you what... Here's a million dollar piece of advice.

You ready?

It's not how you fill every second of every moment.

It's how you choose to leave certain moments empty.

The spaces in between the notes.

You start cutting and writing your work to that concept? and I shit you not... You will find the good lord in between.

Hope it's useful.

If you need production services?

I'd love to pro rate an album and get you some results for less than the cost of some Singles.

Hello HAWC. Thanks for the review of wrinkles. I have a lot of fun with that song in my senior shows. It's my rant against wrinkle creams. I performed it on Saturday night at a campground concert in ND. Nice to meet you on BJ and thanks for your nice comments. Mrs Kate

Hello and thanks for your recent review of my song "Merry Christmas". I truly appreciate you taking the time to rate it. I don't do my own mixing (I have a couple of "go to" fellas for that) but I will definitely take that back to them. Thank you. I'm pretty much just a songwriting with a team of demo artists but I would love to collab!

I heard Hawc and A Few last Friday at a church Jazz and Rib. I really enjoyed listening to the music and vocals. I purchased one of the cd's and was disappointed that there were no vocals on it.

Very sorry for the dissapointment, but if you purchased the CD I think you have, there are 2 songs at the end with vocal. Email us your address and we'll send you a free CD with plenty of vocals, or you can get the next one that's being recorded.

Thanx for the review. Yes the song is abit long. My previous goals have been to just let the song play out as I would express worship, praise, or just jammin, til my heart's content. Now When I produce my stuff, I'm considering standard media expectations. Thanx for the encouraging pointers though.
