Song: (cover contest entry) Sunshine LIVE

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey

Positive Comments: This musically has a Cool vibe, but I am having an incredibly difficult time understanding the words/lyrics! I realize that this is a Live performance, so a trillion things can be forgiven!!! Not sure how one could rectify the recording, I’m not an sound engineer…..perhaps go back into the studio and perform a recorded version of the tune? Bring some friends and a couple of cases of Beer for that truly live feel……just might work??Of what I could hear…..the song is pretty SWEET!!

Constructive Comments: See above comments regarding live performances………Like to hear this song version from a studio perspective!

Positive Comments: Hey…….I am going to go out on a limb on this review and just say that this is my old Pal Greg with that Easy Pop-Jazz take on music!! If I’m wrong….please forgive me!! It just has that crazy super smooth vocal and music that he does so incredible well! If this is someone else, you need to get in touch with Greg and do some Killer Co-writing together or just swap spit………Hee Hee!Great Job whoever???

Constructive Comments: Nope…this Baby is ready for Show time!!!!!!!!

Reviewer: Rooster

Positive Comments: upbeat, that’s good, harmonica is sweet. good voice. good vibe.

Constructive Comments: Your lyrics are kind of all over the place makes the story uninteresting you say the destination is unknown but you gotta put 100 miles in etc. etc. need to tighten up the story line. cant just stick in words because they rhyme .
