I sent that link to my bff Misty. Remember her? This was her response: I love the juxtaposition of the absurdity of the subject to the poignancy of the underlying message. Spoken like an English teacher. Michael Soto

A fun song you could play for the right crowds and really do well, and they say you don't write happy songs. :) This is a good change of pace song for you, if you feel a set getting too serious, throw this one in as palette cleanser.

This is another upbeat, happyish song that you should think about doing a little more. It carries a message people can understand and had a nice beat that works well.

you got a beutiful voice...u should finish writing this one.

Terry Rasor James Michael Taylor btw love that tune my friend!

Linder Bassy Wow I love the song

Patty Brunson That is a great song.

Nola Lloyd Griffiths Wolley I love your story telling singing style. Takes me back to my childhood. Love it

Nola Lloyd Griffiths Wolley Very much enjoyed

Naad Kaur Khalsa James Michael Taylor oooo...shadows and regret...I am happy to say I haven't much regret...a lot of deep sorrow...pocketed in loss...shock that is oh so slow to wear off

So, this friend listens to The Couch and immediately tells me I MUST mention the imaginary friends behind the couch. That "hair" is gookie. It didn't occur to her that if I mentioned all the things listeners thought of when they listened to the song, we would still be singing...

Robert Dwain Elliott I met a man named Michael today, Standing beside a hallway, With a cool coat and wearing a throng, For some $$$ he’ll sing you a song. (He was not born in Texas, he just came here for a while).He did run over a chicken on the road once… Feathers in the Wind.

Grant Morrison Thanks for making me cry dude lol

Lee, I just dialed up TROJAN. By the time I read the 1st four lines I was crying.. Maybe, after all these years it a lot deeper than back when I wrote it.

Kat Angel Delightful

Marian Brackney My absolute favorite… 😭

Scarlett Maneikis James Michael Taylor love the lyrics. Each guitar has a story.

Roland Brown My friend, JT. My favorite song this year! Eat your heart out Guy Clark. John Stetson Michael James Ginger Brown Gayle Brown Rick Dodson Donna Pelkey Bailey Bill Nash

I just came across this one, nicely done and and it's one you might consider adding to the jam rotation. We all know the kid in this song and everybody loves a horse song.

This is another one that so many people can relate to, at least those of the older generation. The rope swing was so pervasive in American culture, we can all see one in our minds.

Great groove. Like the voices... .../the little reference to Good Vibrations.

This and djorklandia sound like movie music to me. Grand landscapes and epic travel shots.

Very cool song. Love the guitar sound.

That's a very cool song. Also, I want to say, "Thanks," for visiting my music. I used to play the Basement Coffee House back when Lyle was running the show. Married the girl behind the concessions counter.

Well, you are choosing your samples/sounds well. I really like what it all adds up to.

Too sad for words...

Breezy groove. Very nice.

This is beautiful. Is that a harp?

Love the blending of diverse elements.

Well, Dare I hope to do as well. But I'm sure going to do some experimenting.

That's the best synthesized strings I've ever heard that I know of. What are you doing them with?

Very mournful. Is that real violins? (pyropool@earthlink.net)

I can hear Marty Robbins singing this. Such a suggestion of sadness.

...a time a place and a girl. Nice song. Cool imagery...."snow has hushed the sound..." And the graveyard reference.

Like vocals.

Very good! ...and well done.

Such desolation...

For some reason, unbeknownst to me, I can not get this or the above songs to play.

I like this a lot. But on my player the background voices overwhelm your words. Want to hear the words. Want to hear the words.

Actually, it's more like Toy Matinee. Kevin Gilbert was one of my favorites.
