Don, been there, done that. I'll think I hear one thing and then I'll see the actual chords and get an 'AHA' moment. Our minds (and ears) seem to automatically gravitate to the simplest chord solution.

The Arranger KB can be a great instrument for accompanying vocals; the problem these days is the huge number of style choices. Sounds like a nice problem to have except that no matter what we choose, we always have this sneaky feeling that there's a better style choice out there. Unlike 'live' accompaniment, the vocalist will likely have to make at least some small compromises to accommodate the rigidity of an arranger style. That's where adding a little right-hand 'color' comes in - doesn't have to be much, just some little 'accents' that you feel the arranger style left out.

The recording itself was excellent; well balanced and crystal clear. Try it again with the chord changes. I think I like your version better than the Shirelles smile smile.
