Chris Latham, producer of this recording, notes: 'This is a good song, very pleasing. It builds and then is repeated. Someone who knows exactly what they are doing has composed this song. It is a happy little song with a certain charm about it. It is a very well written song that is entirely of the period it was written in.'
