Hi, Barry. Excellent and precise review of "If the World Ends." Like you, I'll admit to personal picky preferences and yours are definitely valid...and you give examples which is a plus. I really like such ideas as "shoreline shrinks." I would have liked to have met you before completing the song, though songs do grow with time. A story I remember: Gerry Beckley's original lyric in "Sister Golden Hair" was, "Will you meet me in Virginia, Will you meet me when I'm there." When Jackson Browne sang it with him, Brown changed it to, "Will you meet me in the middle, Will you meet me in the air." Gerry liked it. Anyway, kudos to your excellent songwriting and mindful reviews! John

I like that example... "meet me in the middle" could be anyone's "Virginia" and thus a more universal song... Keep creating!!

Hey, Barry. "Last of Me" has a brilliant chorus that is a unique contrast to the verses. Very well done! "Susie Make a Choice" is a clever and catchy romp. Your songwriting takes clever imaginative twists and turns that stand out. I like it a lot! Terrific stuff!

Hey Barry...been a while...first off ...A very Happy ...Healthy..& Prosperous New Year to you and your family. I saw a comment that you updated some news so I gave a look and here I am. I'm looking forward to listening to your new stuff coming out and wish you a lot of luck! Always appreciated your talent and I'm sure whatever you put out it's going to be great!! I have to say... Bjam has been in a real funk in the past couple months! Nothing new and exciting...so.. same ole...same ole... Let's get it back on track...you are certainly an artist that can do just that!!!
Wishing you continued musical success!!
