Great bluesy song Greg. The rhythm carries you along the trail as if you're really there. Super!

Love it. I get a total sense of how great that hiking is without having to throw my back out of joint schlepping a heavy pack, soaking my aching feet, or providing culinary delights for the Minnesota State Bird!

Out dah dah outstanding Me gabrellas were dancing to this one

Very Nice Lyrics especially if you are a hiker on that trail.

Great to hear your new music here!!! I know that trail well and you've captured it perfectly here. I love the lyrics (as usual) - shout out to vibrate soles!!

Oh yeah!! outstanding..I love when you show your bluesier side...can't wait to hear this album...vinyl or CD? :-)

I like this song.

Nice picking

nice Greg...keep up the good work

Yay!!!! Love this one Greg. Sorry it took me a bet to give it a good listen. Congrats on creating and producing this album. It's a fantastic work of art!

Nice lyrics and music. :) c

Super tight acoustic string band, nicely mixed!

Nice very pleasing melody and vocals all round magic!! you wrote a folk/rock opera? Simple Gestures....too cool odd;y enough my band is working on an "Americana" opera about the civil war .. 13 songs ranging from blues to country to rock called The Ballad of Billy Joe Hurley..will post when recording is finished

That Rotten Rosie does a lot of damage> " She is not worth it Greg, What take out the trash? Ok Sweet Rosie ,Right away love"

Very nice lyrics and performance . cg .

You all sound great together!! you should name the band "Minnesota Coffee Table Crew" (MCTC) and take the show on the road...

Really a pretty song. Another fav for sure!!

Well done, to say the least.

Great song!

Well done! And the whistle fits like a glove.

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!
