Crazy Horse: Thanks. I'll eventually post the completed version. Hopefully it'll sound clearer. I'm just not a singer. I always wanted to be. But, I'm doing this in my basement for fun. I just want to be in key. Or at least to the point where the few notes that might be pitchy are listenable. I had a friend who mentioned there's a Beatles hit that has a brass section in it, and one of the instruments has a few off-key notes. It was a hit. So, it's good off-key (though he hates that small section of the song) and then there's my off-key where there's a consensus "no you can't do that".
I take constructive criticism very well. I know most people aren't going to like my songs and definitely my voice. What I have on many occasions got defensive about is when someone's opinion is out and out wrong. When I was playing live and recording in a real studio, a reviewer ripped my cassette apart (that's right cassette). So many things weren't in any way true. For example: "The drum machines used were cheesy." There were no drum machines, it was all live and actually had a 70s live sound to them. What that person was listening to, I have no idea. I swear with all they got wrong, I don't think they reviewed my album.
