Hi Ron,
Surfing around tonight and had to comment on this. THis is great country music and vocals. You must be a character actor. You have the country red neck down perfect! How does an Englishman do this? Of course there is a precedent for this behaviour in Rocky Raccoon and Sally G. Great work and of course with the captain at the instrumental helm hard to not love that part. Great work.
Hello there Ron,
Just popping around boards, saying hello... it's called insomnia..lol!!! Oh well, even lack of sleep can prove productive in its own way I suppose...LOL!
Hope all is well where you are!
Amy
Hi Ron,
Enjoyed listening to 'Hobo Joe' tonight on S.C. while surfing artist. I always have to listen to another one of yours after hearing one. Good music!!! It keeps me coming back.

Thank you,Ron,for breathin' a new life into this old number of ours.It was pleasure to collaborate with you,and I'm sure there's more to come,as I'll familiarise myself more with your style of singin' which is absolutely excellent,btw.
Yes,two brits,one Russian (jewish) and Canadian,and even one Estonian (pedal-steel was performed by my ol' friend from Estonia,-Tiit Nikopensius),-that's what it took to make this Country (or whatever) number.Actually we are repeatin' a cultural meltin' pot from which the Real Country arose to it's fame.The only difference is that this is happenin' virtually,-perhaps,we're starting a new genre ..New Web's Country...LOL!
Take care, Cocney Cowboy!
Hey sweety, you aint lost your street cred, you just gained more, heck you can do and sing anything, nothing is a problem for you, you just sail on through and come up trumps every time. I love this song, it sure got my toe tapping!!!
Again Dawnys lovely lyrics and Juris wonderful country arrangement and Amys lovely harmonies just make it all the more special.
Well done to you all!!!
Love it!!

Hey Mister Ron,
Just coming by to give you kudos on Never Say Never. I know next to nothing about country, but I still think this is a great country song, it was immediately catchy, and you did a fabulous job on the vocals as always. Happy to share the sound space with you once again!
All the best,
Amy
Howdy cowboy!
Now I know you already know how much I love your vox on Never Say Never but I forgot to tell you how great your asides were on that too...danged if you oughtn't to take half the lyric credits but I just never thought of that when I loaded it...sorry....still I think you lifted the whole thing immensely and I wanna thank you for making me sound like I know what I am doing in this genre hahahaha

Hi Ron! :)
Thanks for coming by, and you were correct..my tribute to my friend, hands down was the HARDEST song I ever arranged and performed in my life.
And, though I realize it came out less than perfect, as I was fighting tears, and it was all I could do to get it finished; somehow, a burden lifted and I began to feel better when I got it all done.
I will always miss my friend..she was one of a kind, special in that unique way everyone is...but she is now at peace..and I can accept that, knowing I will see her again, someday; just not here. :)
Thanks Ron, for your visit and kind comments.... you'll finish your song, someday..when you gather enough strength to finish..it's not easy, but you'll find it, knowing that some of your healing will come from transferring your emotions into the writings.
Take care, Ron..May God go with you as you journey on through this life. :)
Hugs,
Tammy
Hi Ron! :)
Came by to spin a little...you and Miss Dawn make such a great team..this is simply beautiful. :)
Congratulations on such a lovely collab. :D
I really enjoyed listening. :)
Kindest regards,
Tammy :)
Hi Ron,
I'm just here to spam you. I have a new song up I am excited about called Little Things, an older one of mine. But I did all the mixing and mastering (with lots of advice from the Grand Jury) and I am pretty pleased with the results. dawn did some gorgeous harmonies for me, Tom Moore plays guitar and my little brother Nick handles bass. If you are bored, common' by for a lil listen. I'd love any feedback at all..
Thanks,
Amy
I'm walking on air since your comments on Flightless Birds Ron. I know you...and so I know how heartfelt and sincere you are about it.
....so when you bump into West Life one of these days (as you are wont to do with all the stars) please feel free to pass on my phone number LOL
luvya my friend xxxx
Hi sweetness
Aweeeee thank you again for listening to Flightless Birds and leaving your ever so kind comments!! You always make my head swell :o) I may redo it soon, once I get my voice back properly, see what Dawny thinks. I've had a few offers from folks wanting to remix it :o)
I had so much fun working with you and Dawny and Juri and Erik and Amy on our latest collabs, it's so much fun to work with you guys, you're all so talented, and I am in awe!!! Had loads of good feed back about em all, it's always a treat to read the message boards.
We should do another again soon. I feel stronger as part of a team, feel I do better somehow of late :o)
Open mic went really well on Wednesday, quite a few performers showed, what a wealth of talent, I had a ball, so did the listeners, I've such a good feeling about all this ya know.
Also I did a spot at the club on Thursday and got asked to be the support act for a big blues singer over here on 19th June, mine and Pauls 23rd wedding an
Hi Ron,
They're all right you know, these commentors, Your voice does shine in Just Like Gold. Both you and Dawny sound absolutely brilliant, blending beautifully with lovely harmonies. And set against Dawn's words and Erik/Juri's music and production, the title is quite apt I would say. Very nice job once more indeed!
Amy
Hi,Ron! Thanx,again,for your incredible addition to our collab and your patience in bearing with me.And no,I didn't forgot to send you the song,but I have two adresses of yours listed at my Google's adress list.Did you've checked your Yahoo's ??Anyways,will resend it to the both adresses in sec.
Take care!
H i sweety
I agree with Dawny 100% you are a dark horse, I've always loved your voice but it so shines singing this style of song. You can sing anything and it just sounds made for ya!! and it was lovely to be singing with ya once again too.!!!!
Just Like Gold is a lovely tune from Erik, and oor Dawnys fabby words and ofcourse our one and only Juri who arranged it all beautifully and has us sounding spectacular!!!! I'm looking forward to doing many more with you all.
Hope you've had a great week, I've been real busy the last few days with work and nights out. I'm gonna try relax this week somehow LOL apart from Wednesday, my 3rd open mic night!! Hopefully a few more folks turn up, you are more than welcome and Maggie, and Dawny and Erik and Juri and Amy and Tammy and Tony and Tom, heck just bring the whole of SC with you LOL we'll have a ball :o)))))))
Anyways you have a great week sweety, I'm off tae bed, I'm bushed.
Loads o love
