Well, this song showed up right at the end of the recording session, and it reminded me of why I do this - and it was just what I needed.
THANKS FOR COMING
I agreed to meet
I smile and take a seat
To hear you say how I could be a star…
This is my favorite track on the album, for a couple reasons. One, I know it wasn’t “planned.” I like that. I like imagining you channeling it. Two, the guitars. That nylon-stringed guitar adds a lovely texture. Three, your voice is superb on this. Perfect album closer. This album is certainly one to be proud of, my friend. Looking forward to seeing you in Portsmouth.
Of all the souvenirs, photos, baseball memorabilia, and musical instruments in my study, the item I value the most is one small 3x5 of my sister and me.
3x5 OF ME AND YOU
I sit with my belongings around me on the shelf
Pictures of my heroes…
The last of the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers died not long ago. Go look them up if you don't know the story. These were some of the finest men to ever serve.
CODE TALKER
Boys were dying across the ocean
Words were stolen, and codes…
This one, too. I listened to the album over at RPM but came over here to seek out my favorites so I could comment on the individuals. This guitar work is my favorite, both the tone and how it complements the vocal line.
There's a line in an Indigo Girls song that says, "If you need to know that you weathered the storm of cruel mortality, a hundred years later I'm sitting here living proof." For me, ever since hearing the words "cruel mortality," they have always…

Welcome to my RPM album. The line "You might not get what you want - You'll get what you deserve" came to me without me truly understanding it.
By the time I finished recording the album, it all made sense.
WHAT YOU DESERVE
Is this what…
OK I looked at this thinking --- 17 minute song.. well I will surf the net some.. do the fb thing.. but dag it is too intense for that.. it is that I needed to type about the song not surf.. --- yeah this is great.-excellent changes after echoes into new echoes well done. These high squeeks are like splintering thru the effects of the delays ,, really then into the dronesk like dreamings.. Incredible (I added that word to my dictionary = Dronesk)
very off odds with itself something that would be close to impossible for me to even consider playing ... let alone improvising OMG--- how mmmm however you make your hands and fingers do that ,,, wow. it is more than interesting like on the levels of excitement and amazement === woe--and full circle back to the original stylings you started with -- :)

Like drinking a beer in front of a campfire.
Fast paced, no lyrics needed.
Clever title! Can't agree with the political message, but it's such a catchy tune.
Great feel good vibe with somber lyrics.
Gritty feel, another shot please bartender!
Love the backwoods feel. Craving the Moonshine.
