Topic: "Dotted Line Valentine"

I had intended to write a very sincere song for my beloved - but this little ditty sort of veered way off course and turned into a satirical piece about a Prenuptial Agreement.

Re: "Dotted Line Valentine"

Hi James,

Makes a change from the usual romantic Valentine songs and very apt in recent years, I certainly had a chuckle to myself listening to this one.

PS I hope you wrote something more appropriate for Juawice.

Re: "Dotted Line Valentine"

Still working on something sincere for my beloved . . . I have written several very sweet love songs for Juawice in the past, but this time around it's just taking longer.

Glad y'all could appreciate the humor of 'Dotted Line' . . .
