Thanks all for your positive and supportive feedback, it is much appreciated!

bebop, and EJ, thanks for listening to it.

Canders, let me know what you think if and when you hear it.

Soidhonia, i am glad you liked both Smooth and Stand By Me.

sabau..i was filled with nerves on the day...it all was overwhelming, i was expecting to sound much worse that what i did...so it is a bonus that i sounded only nervous in places. like you said, now the first one is under my belt and i have more faith that i can do it...im going to go for it big time!

butterflylady...hehe thanks...im not quite sure about the smashing looks...but thanks none the less!

fayerody...thank you...you have had such strong faith in me from the start, even when i had no faith in myself. thanks pat.

thank you Court Knee...your opinion is much appreciated!

Jacq10...i still have so much more hard work to do still...is only the beginning of a long hard road...but at least im on the right track.

Thanks Fuzzy!!

MRB...i dont mind at all...in fact i take that as a huge compliment to know that it has a positive effect on you. i hope there are many more to follow too!

again, thanks to everyone who gave the time to listen to the song...it means a lot to me.
