Great piece of music in every regard (melody, phrasings, vocals, lyrics, arrangements, etc.). Great message. Great video accompaniment.

May I ask if you have any albums recorded or available?

Thanks again you guys for your donations to Ben's project, and for spreading it around... I really hope he makes his goal with that fundraiser because what he's doing is so important!

Oh shoot--I almost forgot to answer you on this... Yes, in my signature is a link; I have an album on iTunes and Amazon. Those songs are a couple years old though, and to be honest most of them just aren't the same quality as this latest effort. I wouldn't recommend buying the whole album... LOL (I'm such a perfectionist, really need to re-record the whole album someday! So many flaws I find with it today, after the fact.)

If you want my picks though, the best songs on it are probably Mischief, My Happy Place, My Lucky Day, Groovy Blue, and Walker's Wisdom. Some of the other ones are OK too, but I think those are the best ones if you were just looking for 1 or 2 good ones. Just my humble and totally biased opinion. LOL

 

[ClydeCoulter]

Very cool, man

Sharing

 

[Invi]

Shared on FB. Very nicely done!

This is an outstanding song that I can't wait to show to so many people! I also wanted to bump this to give others a chance to find this. This is so damn impressive....I wish I had the talent to even compliment you well on your creation. Bravo! (from both me and my wife)

 

[opal]

I love it! Hits a bunch of the talking points and swing / barbershop! I was dreading yet another hiphop rap promo song.. very refreshing and will appeal to much bigger demographics than that other style

I dont' FB or Twitter but will be emailing the tube link around

 

[WhistlinDave]

Thanks, you guys!! Glad you like it! And opal, I don't "do" rap/hip hop... LOL There's enough of that around already, and I don't like most of it.

This is a great contribution and something I want to address further. Some of you may remember my post a week ago about the Liberty Movement becoming a bowel movement, and of course got mixed reactions. Well, THIS is the kind of stuff the Liberty movement should be doing. No, not writing songs or singing (unless you're that talented) but contributing in some way somehow. One thing this Liberty Movement has is a bunch of "keyboard commandos" who are afraid to get their manicured hands dirty. What I mean is everyone, and I mean everyone can contribute to pushing something and it doesn't ALWAYS have to involve money. Obviously, people on this forum like to post. It's evident sometimes by some of those same people that like to sabotage a promotion or a event or cause. Instead, put that same energy in promoting. A thousand man army is more powerful than a five man squad. Well post something, some where else to promote something instead of whining and complaining and destroying someone's efforts. Ok, I'm off my soapbox. Have at it.

Seconded for truth. Reminds me a lot of the 2008 campaign where we had all sorts of crazy ideas to promote and every single one of them were unique and genuine which you never saw from any of the 'professional' campaigns.
