“I find…‘I Must Be Dreaming’ …a mysteriously beautiful song. With the amazing Tedd Firth accompanying, Barbara Brussell outshines herself in an exquisite performance.” —John Wallowitch |

“‘I Must Be Dreaming’ is gorgeous—a warm, memorable melody and a fresh, literate lyric. Barbara is a great choice for this one. She and the song show each other off to excellent advantage. Is this part of a show score, or did you write it as a stand alone song? Either way, its first rate.” —John Kenrick |

“Your song is gorgeous, the best thing you've done (as far as I know). With regard to both the unusual lyric and the musical setting, it's something I wish I'd written. I like the chord change at the end of the third line (‘really in his arms’), and I REALLY like the way the final 8 bars begins like A3 but becomes very different, suitably climactic. I think this song could be a big hit, and encourage you and your lyricist to push it—I know such advice is frustrating, the question being How?…but it's too good to put in a drawer. Is it for a projected show?” —David Jenness |
