Bravo! Livin it Up deserves this type of professional treatment. The original is awesome, but I don't see enough love and appreciation for it these days. I'm 26, and I feel like Bill's music needs to be more well known among my generation

[ferdynantkiepski]

absolutely beautiful, fantastic musicians with great taste

[arisoemodinoto]

Great rendition as usual! 👍 Bravo, Maurizio! 💪👏

[StanleyFusion]

Versione stupenda....
Tutti stupendi

[kallekarlsson]

Lovely! Getting goosebumps hearing those harmonies. 😃👍

[ycnyo]

I love this new arrangement; it's fresh yet still brings back so many memories of this song. Greetings from Jakarta folks

[davidhinkson]

Can't say I know the original song, but it kinda sums up where I am in my life now following a separation three years ago. Again, a masterful rendition by you and your crew.

[harleyhillgang]

This is off the chain Maurizio! Sound is real tight especially when one considers that all the musicians are playing in remote locations as opposed to an ensemble in studio session. Your editing and arrangement skills as well as the ability to draw top notch musicians to your projects says a lot about you as person! Love what you do and I thank you for brightening our days...Mike

Hi Maurizio, I have a request for an old song performed by Pages, titled of the song "Only a Dreamer" . I hope this request can be fulfilled by you guys, and I’m very confident that if you recreate it, it will be amazing. Thank you, and greetings from Jakarta
