Roy, Thanks for putting my song "I'm Lookin' at You" on your pop playlist! Much appreciated.
Clark, Thanks for being a member. I really love the "pop" groove of that song. All the best, Roy
My most sincere sense of gratitude towards you Mr. Elkins for adding my song " Spirit Of The Great Gray Wolf" to your New Age 2019 playlist. Many Blessings.
Hi Roy, glad you are enjoying my blues tunes and thanks for the playlist add. I am recording a new song next week called "Cowgirl with a Blues Bone" ... if that tips you off to the genre any! (its about a girl's love for her horse ... since her man ain't acting right)

Hey ! Thanks so much for the high fives on " stay eleven " .. that one's close to my heart ..;) I love " have faith in me" !
Would love it if you would consider covering it...
Have you heard my song "You Live in Me" -- you might like it!

Thanks for supporting Julia's song Stay Eleven, much appreciated. Bob
It's a wonderful song and well-produced.
Hi Clarke, Many thanks for your kind review of Different Tracks. It was very fair and in some respects quite generous as well. The song is one of my very first compositions but I have tried arranging it in several genres to make it work, I think another effort is due in the New Year!! Thanks again, much appreciated. Just going to have a listen to I'm Not A Bad Guy. Bob
Thanks, Bob! I'm Not a Bad Guy has been cloned by a performer in Canada, now "I'm Not a Bad Girl" too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQv Q--E-kBo
Thanks for your review on my song "Golgotha" Clark and best wishes for a wonderful Christmas!
Thanks Bob! Happy Christmas
Loved Let Me Be - sublime!
Thanks Clark, very unusually I took no part in the writing, production or the musicianship on this track - that was all down to Junior Murrell. I did have the honour of performing the vocal. Glad you enjoyed it.
So well done.. so well sung.. and well arranged and performed... A pleasant listen.. Yet such sadness... "I hope you'll fly some other day"
Thanks for the great review of my song "Every Moment." The song was written at a time when my dad had been bed-ridden for years following a massive stroke. He would have loved the jazz elements...
I'm sure he would, as did I. Well Done.
Ionut, Thanks for the 5 stars on my song "Throwin' Our Love Away" - glad you enjoyed it!
You're very welcome Clark!
oops - I heard it in Song of the Month, sorry :-)
I really like your songs! Very cool and well- written/produced.
Just heard "I'm Not a Bad Guy" in 6-pack. It's such a cool song! I'm a fan :-)
Hey Clark thanks for your review of "Out of the Gaze". I really appreciate the thought and effort you put into that, and I took away some very useful feedback! ~Jeff
Jeff, I see you are from Charlottesville! I lived there back in the day (82-85) putting in some time at the University...
Hello Clark, thanks for the review of Pow Pow Pow instrumental. Maybe you'll think better of the vocal version: http://www.broadjam.com/player/player.php?play_file=24409_468596 1 We have some good friends that live in Ames...Steve & JoEllen Vardeman ... know them?
Thanks for your note! Very cute, upbeat, fun! A little "King Tut" in there, too. Must get a great reaction on stage with a young-at-heart-audience! I don't know Steve and JoEllen but I am a songwriter, not much of a performer...
Nice work with I'm Looking For You being selected. I had something in that submission.It's a well written song. Like you I'm in the sciences (Anaesthesiology) but really enjoy the creative process of songwriting. I had a couple of songs selected a few months ago but they've disappeared into the ether . . Steve
Steve, thanks for your encouraging comments. I am still saying "Show Me the Money!" after several selections that have disappeared into the ether. I like your stuff. The music has to be it's own reward...
It sure does - as they say, it's the process not the outcome that sustains you. I tried country music for a while and enjoy playing pedal steel and resonator guitars etc but the format seems too restrictive lyrically to make headway in. Lately I've been trying RnB where anything goes!
I have tried a number of genres: Country, Pop, Celtic, Jazz, Rock, Sacred, Gospel, Blues. I just like all the music, I guess!
Did I mention operetta?
That's a lot of genres! I submit through Taxi.com mainly but can't get one past them yet. It's so hard for me to sound contemporary - the 60s and 70s keep permeating through and wrecking my chances. I enjoy the challenge though.
Yes, exactly! I gave up on Taxi. Thinking of just sending everything directly to a production music library that is interested. I wrote 6 full-length musicals set in each decade since the 1960s. Some of my music was a deliberate attempt to sound retro. The show set in 2016 was challenging. I have had 2 songs recorded (I paid) from that show: Love Transcends, and You Make Me Happy.
I like the aesthetic you have wrung from your subject matter in the recent musical. Good to seek out the heart of the matter
Hey, been listening to a few more of your tracks. I like the sexual innuendo. Aircon and Black Line could be played on any alt radio station and fit right in. Don 't know how one gets on the air. We have an alt station here in Ames IA (college town) but I have never sent them anything, as so far my recordings are not alt. I did notice on Political and the Cafe song that the lyrics don't match the song. No harm in correcting that... Here is my "alt" piece (kind of) in a prelminary recording of just me singing (!) https://soundcloud.com/cfford/im-no t-a-bad-guy
That's a good theme - sounds like the electric Piano off the 'Help' album. I'm not surprised those lyrics don't match - I probably updated the songs for Taxi or Sound cloud and uploaded the recording to BJ without changing the lyrics.
Turns out I am not a pianist (or guitarist) but I am a longtime Beatles fan! I have been sending my stuff to a studio who creates a "contemporary" arrangement to the extent that they can. Chords is chords, right?
Hello Clark! Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and rate my new song "Above Dreams"! I really appreciate it! All the best!
