Broadjam Artist: Chet Nichols
Song: Who Stole The Ivy (#1 No. Amer, USA & Folk)

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: This is a really beautiful song to listen to. Some performers have such an amazing voice…it doesn’t matter what they are singing about. They just sing so stunningly, you just want to hear them…Then when they can play guitar like this…double whammy wow. This song reminds me of Gordon Lightfoot somehow. I like the chorus it’s so catchy ad pretty. The harmonies are perfectly matched and sweet you can’t hardly tell they are there. What a great mix!

Constructive Comments: Chet, you are giving yourself away, putting your name in the lyrics box. It might prejudice my reviews!The song is long. But that didn’t make me not like it.The song is “over my head”. I didn’t “get” it, but that didn’t make me not like it.I don’t think there are any of your songs that I haven’t liked. The only problem is: I still don’t have you figured out. Sometimes I know it’s you and sometimes you fool me. Mrs. Kate

Song: Wedding Song

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Here’s a really pretty female cover version of the classic Paul Stookey wedding song, There is love. It begins with lovely crooning. The instrumentation is sweet and simple. I can hear this lady singing at many a wedding. Her vocal is honest, heartfelt and right on target.

Constructive Comments: My husband and I had this song sung at our wedding 45 years ago. It was good to hear you singing it. Keep up the good work!

Broadjam Artist: Raymond Garrobo
Song: Lazy Day

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Lots of energy here! You can hear it from the very first few notes. Dynamic guitar playing, nice vocals and harmonies. Egg shaker percussion. This is a short song about the desirability of having a lazy day. Really nice guitar playing!

Constructive Comments: I think the song needs work. It needs structure to be a “song” not just a chorus or a ditty. There’s not really a story or verses. I really like your guitar playing, though. Work on fresher rhymes. The ending of the recording is too abrupt. Even though the song is about a lazy day, there is nothing lazy-sounding about the tempo or style of the song…something to think about. Keep on writing! This is not meant to discourage you!

Reviewer: JD Crawford

Positive Comments: Beautiful and transcendent song. Brings someone back to a peaceful childhood memory of lullabies. Can easily see this song being played during a children’s movie or TV show for a bed time or overall time of peace. This song transport you to a time of imagination and dreams.

Constructive Comments: I personally love this song and believe it is perfect as is. Adding any more to it would only take away from the serenity of the overall message and interpretation of the song.

Song: I Will Be Kind

Reviewer: JD Crawford

Positive Comments: Fun with a catchy tune and great moral for children. Could easily see a fun animated mixed with real people form of music video with this song.

Constructive Comments: I would bring up the audio of the lead singer just to hear her a little bit more clearly in certain areas. Overall, wonderful song.
