Thank you so much for listening, Peter.
Thank you, Peter.
This also rocks my world: 'Is Anyone Home?' has been included on another listener's Spotify playlist, amid songs by the likes of Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone and Aretha Franklin, baby! Check out 'Women Who Rock' here! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7 JTPMFQbOIS0O6Hrb7vnqL

Hi Jamie, Just wanted to say, a big thank you for the review on "Realm" It was much appreciated!
My pleasure, Ian. Really enjoyed listening to it - very atmospheric piece. All the best to you, Jamie
Hi Jamie, Thanks for the GREAT "All-5's" review of my song, "Lonely Woman". Indeed, it is of the 60's and 70's vintage. I have had several people say they felt it was like listening to Led Zeppelin played by one-guy with a guitar. DOn't know about that. Anyway, the version you heard was a "live version" recorded at Cowtown Ballroom in Kansas City, Missouri USA in 1971. There is a cleaner studio version of "Lonely Woman" on my album, "Beetles Are Coming". SO, if you like this song, you will very much enjoy the whole album. It is posted at my BJ site (As an MP3 file) or at my site (http://www.chetnichols.net 1 ) was HI-DEF WAV files. If you do, let me know which songs you like. Best, Chet Nichols
Hi Chet. I was blown away by the song - and especially when I got to the end and found out when it was performed and by whom. No wonder it felt 'real', in all the best senses that applies to 'real music'. And I'm not surprised to learn it was a live take - the energy was unmistakable. Thanks for the info about your album and website - I'll definitely check those out and let you know my favourites. Stunning lyrics on Lonely Woman, btw. I just loved everything about it. So grateful to e-meet you here and to learn about you and your music, and lookingf forward to learning and hearing more. All the best, Jamie
Hi Mrs. Kate! well i've hit the jackpot lately--you are reviewing ME, but you don't know it (mostly) and i want to thank you for the open mind--and know that my songs are ALL just made up, from lives every where--thankfully...and thank you again FOR THE VERY KIND words about another tune that just came outta left field... peace sis...warren ps--yes, none of us should ever be alone!!
You're amazing, Warren. Stay humble my friend! I am in California visiting my 94 year old mom. Did I already tell you that? Here is a poem I wrote for her: EpicDermis Her skin is a sculpture A study in textures A wonder to stroke. I gaze at this fragile fabric That mirrors 94 years Of living and loving. This was baby skin once. It was teenage skin Tanned at the beach Burned, peeled, restored A million times over. Freckled, this skin Felt the electricity Of my father's touch When they first met On a blind date ages ago. Now he's gone But the mother of his 9 children Lives on And her splotted skin still speaks. Smoothed with love and lotion Painted blotches BrownRedPurpleTanGoldBlack A Map! Ancient Artwork And underneath this frail thin layer Blood still flows Through tired veins That refuse to quit. My hand rests on the arm That cradled me as a child Worked to sustain me Spanked and pained me Guided, trained me Now who can blame me For the reverence I hold In my heart, in my hand? This human leather Cherished, crinkled Worn and wrinkled This is my Mother O God, how I love her! I am flesh of her flesh Skin of her skin Amen and amen. Kate Carpenter
You both are truly blessed...
Yep this has been a good time.
Hi Kate! I was trying to find a way to email you, but can only find this, so thank you SO much for the amazing review of 'Fathers and Daughters'. I'm delighted it resonated with you, and you were very kind about my voice; it is normally a little husky, but I was battling unexpected hayfever that day in the studio, so getting every note spot on was a challenge. Plus, I do get a blt emotional singing that one; didn't write it until around 7 years after my father died, in fact, so no: it wasn't performed at his funeral. But thank you so much again for listening to it so thoroughly. I'm on my laptop today, so will come back and listen to your work when on my desktop (much better speakers!). All the best to you in the meantime, Jamie

Hi Fred. Thank you SO much for your review of 'Wake Up in New York' - means more than you know, given your standard of musicianship and especially as you're also from the Bronx! 'Into You' is a stunner - really rips it up in all the right places. All the best to you, and thanks so much again.
Thank you for the nice words on "On Any Given LA Nite"! Very appreciated. Glad you like the simplicity. I would love every song to have a full production opportunity but it's all about the money to do so. Thank you so much!
Totally understand about budgets, Steve. The main thing is that this works so well just as it is. Excellent piece!
Budget? What's a budget when it comes to being a Musician!
:)
New and improved pro-demo version of The Same Christmas is now up. Check out the duet version - as it was meant to be.
Thanks for your generous review of "ALL IN THE GAME"
Thank you for your review of Once in a lifetime Jamie! Really enjoyed reading your feedback and suggestions :) -Wes
My pleasure, Wes. It's a lovely song and I was so pleased to hear it!
Billy, thank you so much for your kind review of 'The Same Christmas'. I really appreciate your time and attention, and it's so helpful to know you 'get it'. All the best to you and with your music. Jamie
I can't even say enough about this (The Back Streets). Heard it only once, read the Song Description, and I was in tears (from someone who doesn't let them flow enough) and then teared my way through the lyrics. What an amazing job on this one!
Jeepers - thank you so, so much, Rena. This little song came out of personal loss, and because I choke in a studio setting, I just recorded it 'raw' in my living room one afternoon as a coping mechanism, really. It still needs polishing to my mind (but whose work doesn't to them?), but to have your response is... more reward than I could hope for. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen = and comment. All the best to you, Jamie
Thanks for the generous review of "WANNA RIDE" I appreciate the love.
thank you Jamie for the kind review of Dark Forest Walk #2 (it's the chopped version of the orig Dark Forest Walk which you may also enjoy...all the best to you across the pond! Warren Hein
Jamie - I felt kind of funny saying what I said about the vocals on "Is Anyone Home" and debated whether I should say it and ultimately decided I should be honest. It's such a good song. I listened to a few of your other songs and was touched by "The Back Streets". The lyrics are very powerful. A cousin I grew up with that was more like a brother died in the Lockerbie plane crash many years ago. For over a year I'd be walking wherever doing whatever I was doing and I'd see something that reminded me of him and I'd start crying. I wrote a song called "Too Soon"in remembrance of him.
Hi Marv, I really did appreciate your honesty - it's what I'm here for. I hadn't recorded in a studio for over 20 years when I did Is Anyone Home? and Don't Tell Me, and I was both terrified and exhausted, even if elated to be doing it again. So I do know exactly what you're saying. Thank you so much for your comments about The Back Streets - I'd sorry for the reasons it touches you, but again, you're 'spot on' - I wrote that after losing my best friend after an awful illness, and years later I still don't know where to put myself at times. Ironically, I also knew two people on Pan Am 103 - not well, but I had interviewed them only a couple of weeks before for a magazine article: two young Americans, on their way home. I'm so sorry about your cousin. I will definitely come back to your page to check out your music properly this weekend - am on a beast of a book project (editing) at the moment - but just wanted to say thank you so much again for listening and just taking the time to comment. I appreciate it so much more than you know. Peace to you, and all the best, Jamie
Good early morning Jamie! Thank you so much for your review of Picky Pizzicato. Finally getting around to some reviews!!! I appreciate your feedback & ratings. The best to you in life & music.
My complete pleasure, Kevin/Cholinga. I'm really enjoying your work. All the best to you, too.
Thanks my friend for the review. Your pal mrs Kate
Birthe, thank you so very much for your kind review. I was delighted to get one from you, having had the pleasure of reviewing one of yours. Love and respect your work, so your comments mean a great deal to me. All the best, Jamie
You are welcome, Jamie. it is such a good song. I am very happy that you like my songs. I have been lucky to find good composers for the music and good vocalists to sing my lyrics. Stay well and keep making songs. Best from Birthe
You are so welcome, Kate. A good song is a good song and you have so many - it is quite wonderful. And admirable. All the best from Birthe
Marc, thanks for the 5 stars, it means s lot to me!
Hi Marv, Just to say thank you so much for the very fair review of 'Is Anyone Home?'. You're right: I'm not the most confident of vocalists; I do perform, but tend to choke in the studio rather than on stage, so I think your review is spot on. Thanks for taking the time to listen and best wishes to you and for your music. Jamie
Thank you, Jamie Ambrose, for your encouraging review of The Swamp. I am especially gratified that you like the lyrics. I write the lyrics of all our songs. The music for The Swamp is composed by Dave Lefever and Corty Bacon is the vocalist. We all thank you for your helpful critique.
Hey, thanks for your very generous review of my track Eastern Promise. It the first track I produced so your comments are very encouraging!:)
My pleasure, SRJ. Really, really liked that one. I'll be stopping by to hear more for sure. All the best to you, Jamie

Ken McCoy, I just had the pleasure of reviewing Devil In Me. You, sir, rock - how the heck have we not heard of you before??? All the best to you.
Thanks Jamie for the great review o Devil in Me As well as the comments and compliments ! It is greatly appreciated !
Hi, thanks for the review of 'Red Clouds Diner'. The reason for the long intro and overall feel of the song is because it comes from the concept album 'Eagle' , to be honest I didn't really think about the songs being listened to in isolation. Thanks again and good luck.
Good luck to you, too, John. And thanks for the explanation. It's always different hearing 'part' of a work rather than the whole concept, so that explains a lot. Enjoyed your work.
