This is some good fu-fu with good ju-ju. Thank the Almighty for the "minor miracle" of magnetic tape, which the Library of Congress well-knows may need baking from time to time but is a format that bonehead computer-science nerds can't render obsolete by declaring it no-longer-supported. Thinking of you, my one-time Ivy brother. -- DrBill

Andrew Russe (86.155.32.98) said Thursday Short but very sweet... These short ones encourage me to add all sorts of extra meaning myself as I'm listening. That's kinda what happens when we listen to songs anyway - no matter how much the lyrics are designed to lead us to certain conclusions or "points of view"... a song never really says what the songwriter thinks it says ... but these short ones encourage this "listener completes the song" process even more, they let my mind run free ... love it.

Guest (47.189.109.204) said Thursday I love that you don't hold back and anything goes. I never know what's going to jump out of that brain of yours! Love the arrangement, the harmonies and nature! Fun and short. I think I could have gone a little longer, but I'll just play it, awgain or put it on a loop if it will let me!! Write on!!! Thanks for the share!!

I recorded this song a couple of years ago in a church. It was raining and I felt a bit blue at the time. I only had a zoom h1 recorder, a metronome and headphones at the time. So I couldn't really play over what I recorded previously. But…

Hey, not sure if it belongs here but I can't listen to it either and it gives me this message: "Uh oh, there's no longer an mp3 attached to this track. Please edit it and click 'upload a new version' to add the mp3"
