This is "Bonus Hockey" Andrew!!! I love the anticipation a slide guitar creates. Reminds me of the solo acoustic live version of "Your Bright Baby Blues" by Jackson Browne.

I hear the Rev Billy Gibbons

I think Rick left some comments on songs of mine, but we never really talked to each other. What a pity to know that we never will.

Another great song!

Very well done!

cool beans... nice structure, very clean. I don't like throwing out comparisons but it feels Three Dog Night-ish!

Yes, I love it. The subtle/strong cadences switch around enough to easily glide through 4+ minutes. Well done with that - I'm inspired to try something lengthy that doesn't sound like it has filler in it. The heart of the song's meaning kept you from hitting the delete button - That's what makes me like it even more!

Another gem A

Nice tribute... really like this version too.

Pure and beautifully performed ....

Like it raw and cool

ohhhh, slide me sad. Great tortured vocal I read the chat about the bass line. I will try to play along to better get the idea.

Solid track Andrew. Top notch.

Amazing. Thanks for posting this version too...

Raw talent is what this shows.

ain't that true.......love it!!

Like it - nice instruments and production.

Simply Stellar Andrew! You hit the mark again!

Wonderful song! Perfect balance of your voice and instruments. The emotion is touching.

Such sad realization...well said/sung.

It's like there are voices... and I can't quite reach out to hear them.

I'd forgotten what it was like listening to your pieces. Magical.

Wow

That's pretty powerful.

Wow. Haunting sounds.

I listened on Friday, and I've been trying to figure out what happened so fast... and then seeing jimgoodinmusic's comment "...reflective of the street", on this relisten I ended up stood there with the same "hey what happened?" ... but a passer-by said "I don't really know - it all happened so fast" ...

I hadn't realised Colleen was listening same time... I was off checking out Mary Oliver... but yes, after the initial scratchiness that I got used too, I agree, very quickly the cacophony did seem "normal" to me and even commonplace... and the poem Egrets (I had to look up what an Egret was, I didn't know! I knew the word, but not that it was a white bird) ... that kinda emphasised it... there was magical, but normal, and natural, stuff going on, and even the cacophony itself was natural - as in not necessarily man-made - the thorns and mosquitos...

I read the description and thought "ummmm, ok"... and, indeed, it did start like that for me. But then it was strangely compelling.

I was looking for a word to describe the feel... and Colleen's already got it - "slinky cool".

Very refreshing sound - but the heavy breathing reminds of someone... not sure it's Colleen though! lol

This is still making me tingle. Those first two lines... I want everyone to feel it.

I think I remember it? Mighty cool anyways. I'm kinda jealous, though - all my old ones aren't that easy to post here... they're all recorded on pieces of A4 paper, in the metaphorical "shoe-box" (actually, it's not not that metaphorical, it is a box, several actually, they've just never held any shoes)

Wow, yes. It's a gorgeous song.

I like both. This one sounds more summery though!

Sounds summery to me.... off to find the other one

I'm liking the kinda sparse but cluttered vibe I'm getting from this. Yep, dirty, that describes it well. And that ominous but bouncy synth motif... Yeah, nice one.

Summery - check, Duran Duran - check, Cow Bell- check, all present and correct :) Cool sounds. I was at university, in a rock/metal band, writing songs with titles like "Daughter Of The Pharoahs" ("You've got the looks of your motherrr... Stained with the blood of your brotherrrr") .... I liked Duran Duran, but the dudes I was with would not be convinced that "catchy" was a good thing... Funnily enough, I found a photo a while back - I was the only one who would have looked out of place in a Duran Duran photoshoot!!

I'm about to get called into a zoom meeting for work... I'll be back for the rest after

I've always imagined you younger than me. But if you were doing this in 77 (I was 14 and in a choir, and writing songs about Garden Gnomes), then obviously not! This is mighty cool stuff for back then... wow

Oh yes. I'm liking this big time. A: Sweet song. B: That guitar... whoa... Luther Perkins lives on...
