    When I saw you put 10 minutes into this, I knew this would be big, so I put on my head phones. This is a terribly sad song. "Goodbye" is a sad word. When my wife goes shopping it's: "See you later." When she goes out of town with the girls for a week, it's: "Love you, see you next week." Never just: "Goodbye." "Goodbye" leaves the issue of return open - as if who knows? Maybe, maybe not? LIke it's all up to chance! It's a terribly sad word if you are in love. That said: you did the song justice. You must have practiced this song a lot. Each note sung and played seemed well and perfectly placed. You obviously put lot's and lot's of work into it.... Good job! You made me cry.

    Some day - long from now - you will be standing before St. Peter and he will ask you what did you do - WHY should you get into heaven? You will be stunned by his directness, but you will pull your wits together and you'll stare St. Peter in the face and say, "Did you hear my "Georgia on My MInd?" St. Peter will blink twice, take a breath, and say, "That was you?" You'll say. "Yep!" And you'll be in!

    Great performance. When I listen to you (piano and voice), two names come to mind: Michel Legrand (pianist, composer, especially known for film music, singer, and arranger) and the talented and unforgettable Chet Baker (an exceptional trumpeter and singer with a voice that is unique in its softness, simplicity, and emotional sincerity). A "cool" jazz of great depth and quality. I encourage you (if it’s your wish…) to upload your performances to streaming platforms through a distribution service like DistroKid. DistroKid (Distribution Service) Goal: DistroKid is a music distribution service that allows you to put your music on all the major streaming platforms (including Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, RUclips Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, and many more...). Cost: The annual subscription starts at $19.99 per year for unlimited releases (albums, singles). You keep 100% of the revenue generated from the sale and streaming of your music. Advantages: Unlimited Distribution: You can distribute as many songs, albums, and singles as you want during the year for a fixed cost. Fast and Simple: Uploading is generally very quick, often within a few days. Accessibility: You get a presence on all major streaming platforms, not just one or two. 100% of Revenue: You don’t pay any commission on your earnings. Bien cordialement.

      Merci beaucoup, Audelade ! I love both Chet and Michel, and so that's such a lovely compliment! I definitely want to have some recordings on streaming services one day, so that's really good to know about DistroKid. I don't quite have the time to dedicate to making an album just yet, but it's 100% a goal for the future!

When you started to play - we were in the same key! That can only mean I have been watching you a lot!!! You the Man!!!! BTW, a suggestion: you've done "All the Things You Are" before as a quick tempo swing tune. I play it every night with my Chopin, Debussey, Schubert, Schumann and others as a slow ballad as you did with this tune. Try it sometime -- it's magical. Thanks for all you do!
