Another interesting take on this week's assignment. Bob will be pleased at so many creative twists.

There are (as I'm sure you realize having performed this) some areas where you can smooth out the rhythms a little. The only spot that I think might need attention is the word "schooling." It's a little thing, but since you've been talking about jobs and occupations, perhaps "training" might be a better fit.

Looking forward to reading (and to listening to!) more.

Peace

Thanks for the reply and, yes, you're dead on with your comment. I'm already working on them. Thanks!

Hey

I like this it has a real fun take on the subject .

I also agree with David but in saying that I wouldn't like to see you alter too much though , schooling did stand out for me ( like David )

Keep up the good work

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am

I've taken David's advice, added another verse, and updated the MP3. Changes, additions, are in Bold. Thanks David!
