No, Diki, I am learning from what I am hearing.

I am hearing pretty consistently that they are solid songs. Some people like you say that they are very good (at least you said that two of three are), and some are saying outstanding.

I am hearing pretty consistently that they are dated, and it might be difficult for me to place these songs.

I have heard from two people who like Scuba Dive that it is too long to be a hit pop song.

I have heard from two people that my voice is occasionally out of tune. I am going to be purchasing Melodyne to repair this. I am going to buy the version that helps you produce harmonies, because I'm not enthralled with the TC Helicon unit.

I am going to be conscious about using contemporary arrangements for my tunes.

Diki, I can't thank you enough for your critique. I took some of it with a little grain of salt, but I regard you as being very talented, extremely smart, and hypercritical. So it actually made my day that you liked two of my songs, but it occurred to me that I would be a dodo if I ignored the negative aspects of your critique.
