I hope you will give my other songs a spin as I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the variety. Try Hey, Jody for something more like Gin Blossoms or It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This for country. Maybe It's OK for a more acoustic ballad. 30 seconds with each and I hope you'll find a couple treasures :-).Dave Birkhttp://davebirk.bandcamp.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-40570184248073197322012-06-29T11:29:04.750-04:002012-06-29T11:29:04.750-04:00Gummo, my lawyers will be contacting your lawyers....Gummo, my lawyers will be contacting your lawyers.Blue Ash Fannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-69555367531388915652012-06-29T10:59:37.223-04:002012-06-29T10:59:37.223-04:00Sue me, I liked it better than most Fountains of W...Sue me, I liked it better than most Fountains of Wayne, who are often too precious by half.Gummohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09947040598570967596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-40250613555987638152012-06-29T09:27:24.274-04:002012-06-29T09:27:24.274-04:00I hadn't read the comments before listening. ...I hadn't read the comments before listening.

And, once recorded, I realized how closely this song resembles It Must Be Summer. However, my intentions are pure and it is merely a blend of happy coincidence and how all things come back around. So, if imitation is the best form of flattery, I hope FOW glow with pride and all their fans sing along with a big smile. -- Dave BirkDave Birkhttp://davebirk.bandcamp.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-79057511261025761482012-06-29T08:18:27.714-04:002012-06-29T08:18:27.714-04:00I think it shares some of the same characteristics...I think it shares some of the same characteristics, yes.<br />:-)steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-77740722827246879002012-06-29T08:16:59.131-04:002012-06-29T08:16:59.131-04:00Isn't that the chorus from FoW's "It ...Isn't that the chorus from FoW's "It Must Be Summer?"
