I agree with Ron... you’ve caught that Lighfoot spirit. An ode to the great Gitche Gami. So beautiful. An instant fav - legit

Love the box of tricks Ok sailor you did it you turned time around. Jibe oh matey

I like this a lot..has a Gordon Lightfoot feel to it...also maybe a little Irish folk sound as well...Excellent

LOVE those sounds.

That guitar sounds great Very nice, full mix Good vocals too Good one! KC

Beautiful. "And the fragrance of the Summer lingers on the scent of the morning dew."

That guitar sound is amazing. How is this recorded. Every element is crystal clear. Your voice too. 'There's a row boat in the distance,,," So suggestive of more than meets the ear...

Straight out of Mayberry RFD. Great picture song.

Mode ?? Marvellous Greg , you have this fantastic knack of writing a song that you just have to listen too ... then Love ... then listen to again ... and love again ... simple isn't it ... NO ?!?!?

that's the message to answer the question , now what

Wow! I just love the message of this one. You are amazing!!!

Love the lyrics and the guitar sounds great...playing and tone! one of your best chorus's

I likes it more with each listen

Cool sounds and fabulous lyrics. Over the last few days I've been sharing this very message in various forms in various places... That's probably why I like it so much... And I've come across others saying the same thing... It might not be filtering through to the media (at least not the stuff I'm seeing/hearing)... but then it's not very news-worthy! ... But if there's a bunch of us ordinary people thinking and saying this and similar... then I'm feeling quite encouraged :)

Thanks to Rita for the lovely suggestion. I've never heard you play the dulcimer. These lyrics are so lovely... Beautiful all around

Wonderful Greg, wonderful ....

I hope your resume says multi instrumentalist!!!! love the sound I needed a peaceful song right now!!

Oh yeah... love this one.

Oh that sounds gorgeous. Very cool song, and a gorgeous recording.

Great sound on the dulcimer. Beautiful song! very much enjoyed! KC

Well ... I tried to log in on my iPhone and learned that I am only a guest. Rita and I listened to *"Taking Back What's Mine"* over a Bluetooth speaker in the living room this morning and as I said in the previous "Guest" message, lots of emotion and imagery! I'm impressed with your guitar playing and the tone from your new guitar too. Very nice!

Beautiful Song John!

Another strong contribution. It's great to hear so much of your music here lately. Congratulations on the RPM Victory!

One after another . . . Strong lyrics and a great melody. Excellent! I see you decided to put Laural & Hardy's version out of its mystery. Good choice. We were making it much more complicated than it needed to be.

Yes, I like this version too! Clean with just a bit of attitude.

Cheers!

Congratulations Grampa! Nice tribute to bring your Grand daughter into this world.

I can tell you are having fun with this! It's contagious.

Ah ..... Minnesota has created two new Poets! *Keep on Truckin!* That Tax Man has been circling around me lately too.

Instant smile! I can hear *"Sweet Baby Kenny"* blowing the harmonica in between sips of Jameson.

Pretty, reminds me of a gentle stream.

Nice sounding organ!

Reminds me of Iron Butterfly . . . I don't know why. I can hear Thetworegs singing lyrics to this!

Powerful Song !!!

Ethereal and Deep. It makes me stop and think. Good one John!

Still good this morning!

Sitting around your coffee table has been a lot of fun! This just puts a smile on my face to hear it! Beautiful song you wrote! Thanks for letting us play along.

I love it! I like the way it builds. So . . . is this autobiographical?

How about if I bring a harmonica Friday night and we do this song?

This is powerful. Sparse is the perfect approach and it accents your message perfectly. One after another . . . You just keep setting the bar higher!
