Thanks very much everybody.
I was a bit worried that the rather "loose" harmonies might irritate. It a great surprise and pleasure to get such positive feedback.
Especially as necessity was the mother of invention.
Getting ready for a house move so lot's of gear packed away. I was left with recorder, microphone, acoustic guitar, a shaker and a mouth organ. So when I realised that I hated the guitar strumming pattern and there was no way I could play mouth organ well enough I was forced into an alternative. To paraphrase Peter Gabriel said "Creative people are devious..........So tell them what they CAN'T use" Sage advice it seems.
Blue Moon by the Marcels has always been one of my desert island disks and like Schavuitje I've been meaning to have a go at a Do Wop / Barbershop style track for a while now. So by happy coincidence
.....
Mentioning Joe Jackson.....even on the same page as my work! WE'RE NOT WORTHY....WE'RE NOT WORTHY... !!
As I was first playing it back I saw the possible connection. "The Longest Time / "Running Out Of Time". Both Acapella. In my defence, the title was thought out even before I started writing. Short song...time limited...running out of time...? Corny I know, but I had to start somewhere.
At some point in the future, after the comp, I'm going to revisit this one and tidy up those harmonies... maybe add a bit of production..... but either way it's going on the Acoustic Album!
AND ONE AGAIN >>>THANKS EVERYONE
