Mighty cool. I'm doing songs for FAWM (I don't think I could manage RPM) and working at home and... this song strikes home for me! Probably does others too. My colleagues are jealous of my meeting background - and it's real, not digital (my "studio" doubles ad my office, so there's a wall of guitars). "I will send the deck out after" ....LOL "hey where's those slides you said you'd send out at the last meeting?"

What a fun song! Great vibe too. Love the harmonica or melodica maybe. May your RPM month continue smoothly - off to a great start.

I saw this beautiful name in a scientific paper. There are many people with this name, this particular one is a crystallographer. So I ignored all that and wrote a song about Indian food. I take full responsibility for the horrid mispronunciation…

Messing around with my Zoom H4N recorder. I cheated and re-recorded the vocals, added the harmonica, and mixed it down using Reaper. I plugged my ancient TR-707 and bass right into the recorder like it was the '90s or something. I wrote and…

It's basically a punk rock song about yoga. I have spend a lot of time during quarantine following along with https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene Not really sure how I managed to get it to 4:39 long but that's what it is…

Well now ya hit me right in the feels -- when you sing "hungry and alone" I'm felling that. And more brown guitar stylings... always a good thing. This one's heavy, hope your gonna lift us back up after this!

Dave, you & Olivia have knocked this out of the park. Some of your best instrumental work with regard all the layers of sound, great arrangement! Do I detect a slightly brown influence on this track?

Love hearing y'all sing together & the harmonica break! (And I'm probably wrong, but it seems like Mario 3 fits?)

I thought Olivia might sing this one, but she said my version was "awesome" and I will have to take her word on that. I made up lyrics which seemed as if they might be suitable for her to sing, but I don't really know what they mean…

Great opener, Dave. This and the changes of this one actually reminds me of some old school Blue Rodeo.

"Reviewing all the workers you’re nothing but a shirker you done no work today" seems really directed at me while I listen to yours and other RPM albums at work! I also really enjoyed the interplay between your different vocal styles and makes me think 'Closing Down' might actually work really well as a duet!

Lol, I keep trying to write this comment while relistening to the track and my comment just keeps getting removed when the next track pops up so here goes one final time :D You can't have that prompt in the beginning and not give a clear answer! It was really fun listening to this for the first time and trying to follow the story, and Olivia's vocals work so harmoniously with your lyrics and melodies. Plus, that Harmonica (?), uff, just takes this to another level of folk awesomeness!

Did a quick fix, it was mastered way too low.
