Congrats on all your successes this year! Loved your "Sunday She Knows" and rightly deserving of the top 100 spot, keep-it-goin' Frank, you're a rising star!! Cheers to you and yours, and a very Happy Thanksgiving ! Diane
Thanks so much Diane! I'll be sure to drop by your page to have a listen to more of your music. And have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!! Frank
Hey Art & Margie - Thanks for the stars on "Christmas Kind of Love" - we really appreciate it!
Hello Diane, I've only had a chance to play a handful of your songs but I am totally knocked out with your versatility, musicianship, vocals and the quality of your songs. What an amazing talent you are! You are a rare gem in this field. What a treat to listen to all your great music! Count me in as another one of your fans. All the best, Harvey
Hello K - (The Karamatics) Well I have no idea why you haven't seen more commercial success, your stuff is AAA+++. I saw your tune was considered for that recent listing, after 159 song listens the client almost picked yours. That's I hope some measure of satisfying consolation. Sometimes (well lots of times) I wish the client would be more specific as to what they need. With that, I'm sure you'd nail it. Anyways Love your stuff, it's truly magical! Keep going! Cheers, Diane
Hi, Diane--thank you more than I can say for your wonderful comment. For the last hour I have been sulking that after my composition was selected out of 159 songs (as you pointed out), it was ultimately rejected. The story of my life! And like you also pointed out they just give you canned reasons as to why your stuff was turned down. But receiving your comment made my day. I really appreciate your taking the time to send me your comment. So nice of you! I look forward to listening to your songs, and I hope we will be in touch! All the best, Harvey (Rachlin)
Hey Mitch - Thanks so much for the stars on "Into You", and I stopped by and listened to a couple of your songs - man you've got everything!! Better than what's on the radio these days. Blown away really, especially your mixes - so clear and vibrant, but everything is soooo good, vocals, guitar, arrangement, geeez! Everything !!! Congrats on all your great stuff! :)
Thank you Diane! Loved your song as well and I hope to check out some of your other work! I appreciate the feedback and am happy you liked what you heard. I am lucky to work with some very talented studio musicians and we're all very passionate about the work we do. Thank you!!!
Hey LC = Thank you so much for playlisting my Halloweenish Nonsense tune! :)
Lol, we enjoyed it Miss Diane! LC Team
Hi Diane, Thanks so much for the review of my song Classical Cruise! I really appreciate you listening and providing meaningful, detailed comments! Thanks again, Frank
My pleasure completely, Frank. What beautiful work! Cheers :)
Hey Brandon, I see you got another one of mine! Thanks for the review of Just Keep on Walkin'! I really do appreciate you taking the time to listen and for providing meaningful and useful/detailed comments! Be and stay well! Frank
Hi Diane, Thanks for the review of AM Jam. Yeah, it'd be great to have live musicians on that one (like many of my tunes actually). That's an older one too... from back in my pre-Pro Tools days. Thanks again for listening! Frank
Good morning Frank - Hey many thanks for reviewing my "Get On With It" and I appreciate the time and effort you put into your review - it's the little things like this that can give us such a lift and the encouragement to keep on going in our musical quests! Thank you so much! :)
My pleasure always. Frank
Hey there Allison - Thanks for the stars and ears on my little piano ditty Not the Last Waltz - I came to listen to some of your tunes wow , love your voice, and you've got some great tunes here! Very cool stuff and congrats on your placement too! Cheers, Diane
Hey there Tony, many thanks for the stars and your generous review - really appreciate the feedback, after decades of creating music it's nice to get some positives, that is really good medicine! Above all, so pleased you enjoyed the listening, that's what it's all about! Sorry to hear about losing your band members, I'd just say keep the music going, you have a great collection here to treasure, and also to expand on in future! There are so many absolutely wonderful musicians here on BJ, it's a safe haven for all, and there is great appreciation for the mutual support. Many thanks again :)
Thanks for the review Diane! We were just in Toronto for a day on our way home on vacation. Toured the aquarium...amazing! God's creativity is so fun to explore!
Awesome Kate, yes summer is really the best time to visit !
Hey Lynn - Listened again to your amazing creation "Waiting for Maui" it's just a beautiful piece, made my day. Such a gift! You're one of the brightest stars shining - well - anywhere, but oh so brightly here on BJ. Kudos :):):)
Hi Diane! Many thanks for the 5 stars for "November Rain". I appreciate it very much and glad you liked it. Best wishes, Paul Daren
You are most welcome, Paul, I absolutely loved it! I'm sure you'll eep 'em comin!!
Hi Mrs. Diane Radius. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my song Key 2 Trilogy, and thank you for the very generous rating. I listened to the first song on your list Sweet Heather. I could tell by the depth, simplicity and flow of your creation you have been composing and honing your skills for a long time. Very well done!!! I wish you all the best success as you move forward. Regards Pete
Well thank you for those kind words and yes been doing this music thing for -- gosh -- too many years to count now ha ha ... But I had a chance to listen to your gorgeous tune, I'm always amazed at how absolutely unique each artist is and how much creative thought goes into each project. Key 2 Trilogy was lovely to listen to, wow, top top quality stuff! Wishin' you all the best too, here on BJ and elsewhere! Cheers! - Diane
Hey there Chet, thanks for the stars on my tune, I've been a bit off the grid a bit as my lovely mom (100 yrs old) passed away this week - It hasn't really hit me yet, still feels she's around "somewhere". Anyways, I'm very appreciative of the ears, so big thanks! - diane
Hey Diane, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I could never say "I know how you feel", as I don't. But I have a sensitivity to what you are going through. Lost my dad at 7, oldest brother when he was 45, next brother at 70 and my mom back in 1992. It is not easy, but I have great spiritual faith and know the transition is to.... Glory. Anyway, my prayers go out to you and your family. I wrote a wonderful song, "The Sands Of Time", about people passing it has a lot of hope embedded in it. Here is a link: https://chetnichols.net/single-the- sands-of-time.... I think it will comfort you. I hope so. God bless and keep me posted how you are doing. My Best, Chester
Thanks for that Chet, I did listen to "Sands of Time" - yes very hopeful lyrics, we need more of that on this crazy planet don't we? I also listened to a few other tracks and was equally impressed with them, you're not only a great musician and vocalist, but a great lyricist too. Things are going along. This period of time has given me a unique chance to reflect on lots of good things, many of which I wouldn't have even thought about - so there's always some good somewhere eh? Go well, and thanks again, Diane
Hey there Chet, Thanks for sending me to your page, I'm listening to your "Flying My Pyramid" and wowwowowowo absolutely love it !!!!!!!!!!!!! Your mix is so full and engaging!!!!!!!!!! Lots going on but it all sings together in one big happy voice! I'd be happy to get some of that into my own mixes, so good to be inspired, it's like being shown brand new colours you've never seen before, big rainbows !!! that's for sure!!!!!!Big thanks!
Hey Diane...thanks for the kind words. "Flying My Pyramid" was inspired by a dream I had of discovering a pyramid in the desert, got inside and found a way to fly it... Check out "Ticking Stars"....it has BOWIE-like vibe to it. It is a great track.... And then, "Stairway To Peace" was inspired by a dream, too. Woke up and went in and laid the basic track down and it was done in 3 days. The next day, the Middle East broke out in war.... hmmmm. Thanks, again....keep me posted... Chet Nichols
Hey Diane.... I just released another new instrumental single that will be part of the "Flying My Pyramid" album. This new song is entitled, "Caravan To Orion"..... I think you will really like this track! Hope all is well... Best, Chet
Sure do like it! Especially the change & lift at 1:26 and again at 6:06, really rich & wonderful! Sounds like your album is gonna be spectacular! Keep going!
Thank you for the endorsement and the 5 star rating of my songs "Broken" and "Baby" . Much appreciated. Have 5 new tracks soon to be uploaded. Cheers Suzy Haworth
Hello Lyle Concierge peeps = thanks a million for the stars and endorsement, very much appreciated for "Sweet Heather" and "I'll Never Forget" and I wish you all a very Merry and Prosperous New Year my friends !!!!!
Hey Miss Diane, have a great New Year! LC Team
Beautiful and inspiring...
G'morning Lyle - Many thanks for the stars on "Dark Patch of Sky"- I so appreciate you taking the time to listen. :)
Hey John - Thanks a million for the stars on "Patch of Sky" - much appreciated! I'll dig into some of your stuff here over the weekend, looks like an absolute treasure chest! -Diane
You're very welcome, Diane. I just listened to "Well After Midnight," which, too, has a beautiful minimalist thing going, but I especially like the three distinct sections that are cohesive, the second section adding interest with more layers. My newest song is "Just Another Weekend," which is what my life was until I got married to Lora when I was 49. It's one of my lilting, bouncy tunes, with a story about all the busy things I did while longing and hoping for love. I found Sofi, the vocalist, on FiveRR. She's from Buenos Aires and she has a delightful folky voice. It's has my best mixing/mastering jobs but I think I'll move the bass closer to center. Most of my songs are autobiographical. I think my best melodies come from what I've experienced because they really express the feeling between and through the words. David Crosby was right that you have to write from what goes on with you if you're going to get down to something that means anything. That was from the CSNY "Four Way Street" concert album. (Pretty good musing if he happened to be stoned!) "Far From Home" sounds much better with Clay Collins on it as does "The Most of Nothing," which would probably win the Dewey Bunnell ("Tin Man") no-one-knows-what-the-hell-you're-t alking-about-stream-of-consciousnes s award. Anyway, come on by. I'd appreciate that! John
Diane, "Dark Patch of Sky" is wonderfully atmospheric and wintry, starting off with the minimalism similar to Harold Budd and ending with what George Winston would do, but definitely your own. I like it! John
Hey Mike, congrats on your selection of "Queen of Hearts" - it's a great tune! Cheers:)
Thanks Diane,one of those tunes that just worked from the start! Mikie.
G'morning Nan, thank you so much for your ears and stars on "If I GO", much appreciated! Have a wonderful Wednesday! -diane
Simply loved the tune!!!!!!!
Hey Vi - Thanks for that (necessarily) brutal review. (One Dark Night) Wish you could review all my tunes. Truly appreciate the suggestions that totally make so much sense to me now that I re-listen. Sometimes it takes another pair of ears.... Onward and Upward! Cheers!
I'm glad the information was well received. Remember.... There is no such thing as a bad way to self express. Just better ways to present that. Good luck, creator bless. Vi
Thanks Diane for the stars on "Firefly Dance". I always appreciate listeners taking the time to comment. By the way, I relate really well to your wonderful piano playing! - Kevin
Hey Constantinos - Heard your track "No Goodbyes" on the top 10 list, wow it's rare to hear such a combination of deeply beautiful artistry and technical perfection, can't tell you how much I enjoyed the listening experience. Joyful ! Thanks for the music ! -diane
G'morning Frank, big thank you for all the stars and reviews, appreciate you taking the time to really listen and your generous and thoughtful comments.-Cheers! diane
Steve thanks for the generous review of "And What Now" - surprising how a little encouragement can keep us going, and I appreciate it. :)
You are welcome. You are talented. So if it makes your day so be it!
