I wonder how this very good song would sound now, if recorded with the more "mature" voice that 10 years has given JMT? Good song, VERY good album! I always thought this album was underappreciated... but... that is true for the whole discography of JMT!

SNOW MAN I'll tell you right now I don't cry You might mistake some sweat for a teardrop in my eye But, I don't cry In spite of what you might be thinking I don't get tired of humble pie (That's not a tear drop in my eye) And don…

The lyrics of this song, as they pertain to plot, are my exact memory of the event. I had spoken to the kid maybe a minute before the "action" started about how the pressure of the water was very strong. He was nestled down with his back…

I had forgotten how painful I find this recording... I had forgotten how painful I found that time of our country's history... that time of my life... (and I was not one of those who "Had To Go"... or should I say, I was not one of those men... one of those boys... who had to make that "choice." I was one of the... "fortunate ones.")

This song is just what it is and says what it says. It's where I am and where my hopes lie. It all just happens to fit into a song... WHEN PEGGY COMES HOME When Peggy comes home I’ll have the dishes put away The floor will be swept and…

I like the potential for this song, JMT! Especially how you start it off! You seemed relaxed and comfortable with it.

I believe Lula must be the lady on the cover of PAPER BOATS! Lula is why many older single men fear all those dating sites! Nightmares are born when they imagine what else Lula might wiggle... besides her ears!
