    Hello Bill, I've been contacted by a friend in Santa Cruz, CA who knows the female lead singer
    in a local Bay Area Jazz band. This woman wants to use "Easy Come, Easy Go" as part of their
    live performances! She says your production was "most excellent"     Jerry Morse, Rogue River, Oregon

    "Bill, Bill, Bill, Perfection!!! Your production,and the artists who contributed have
    brought tears to my eyes to hear my songs so well done. I can't thank you enough. I could
    go on and on, both my wife and I are very very impressed."     Randy S., Yucaipa, CA

    "Hi Bill, Whoa! What an amazing track you've made here! I love it, and you're right, Kristen
    sounds awesome. It all sounds very contemporary which I was particularly interested in - I like
    the way you changed the emphasis on certain parts of the chorus and verse
    lines, which really worked well. You mentioned initially that Keep Holdin' On could
    be a Faith Hill style ballad - I had my doubts, but now it is!!"     Stephen Campbell, Sydney, Australia

    "Review of Basket Case w/a Pretty Face (a CD produced by Bill Watson, Nashville Trax. Jon Smith, songwriter.
    Mastering: Ron Fairchild, RFM Studios Nashville):

    The twelve tracks on this album display a wide variety of songwriting skills, recorded by a band that
    can be measured as much by what it doesn't play as what it does - that is, they've got chops in
    reserve. The production is first-rate and could only be improved by a slight re-ordering of the songs
    presented. Tight rhythm section accompanied by smooth horns. The singer is very mature and
    really draws the listener in with her teasing of the phrase. I don't feel this adequately explains my
    "holy shit" reaction upon first hearing the record. I'm just blown away and amazed. The production
    quality is so high there's hardly anywhere to go. I'm curious if it was tracked live with the musicians
    playing together with the singer or not. It sounds like it, but I doubt it. That's probably a testament
    to the skill at work here. The bass sound is to die for, and the drums sound spot on too. And that
    horn section, can you send them to Pittsburgh?"     David W., Butler, PA

    Hello Bill, "OH MY GOD!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!! I can't believe you could take my plain song
    and do this to it, your talent is incredible. It passed with flying colors with my co-writer.
    Another one will be on the way shortly."     Tami Klumpyan, Campbellsville, WI
