Good Days, Better Days: What the judges said...

In 2003, Jim entered Good Days, Better Days in FOOM (the Festival Of Original Music) organised each year by SCALA, the Songwriters, Composers and Lyricists Association, in Adelaide. Two judges had the impossible task of listening to around 16 songs performed live in front of fellow contestants, and audience alike. The judges were Cath Kenneally a writer and broadcaster with Radio Adelaide, and Robert Dunstan, the editor of Rip It Up, one of Adelaide's free street mags.

Without embarrassing the people concerned, here are the un-attributed comments as written on the feedback sheets.

JUDGE #1
Music: Repetition of motif works well for this song on the whole, but maybe needs a little more colour
Lyrics: Chorus is great - the cumulative effect of the title phrase is moving and stirring
I think the song can be improved by: A tad more light and dark in the accompaniment
Other Comments: N/A

JUDGE #2
Music: Strong melody - good chorus
Lyrics: Positive sentiments
I think the song can be improved by: N/A
Other Comments: N/A
