David Young We both loved it! Very beautiful!

Paul Smith Very cool

Listened and such a biographical song, really captured me. Rahim Quazi

Kat Angel Interesting song 🙂

Tony Desmuke I still think "In Dubious Battle" is one of the best songs that you wrote. If nothing else, the production was incredible. We still listen to it occasionally.

Tony Desmuke Definitely. One of your best.

There She Was definitely captures that longing that the imagination tries but fails to satisfy Lazarus

One night I was singing Wild Bill at Fort Worth Live and there was so much talking that I stopped in the middle. No one had any idea what I had just done. The silence just meant, "Clap now."

Gwyn Henry said, "How random, Jim! What precipitated this sharing??? Don't get me wrong, it is very funny. My reply, "This was about when Peggy, my fuck buddy for 29 years said no more for me. She was giving it to Doug. Not funny to me. So 15 years celebate."

I randomly chose an old album to pick a song from to post and it turned out to be songs one year after Peggy left. I was at my lowest, loneliest, most unconsolable. STRANGER was a song that also spoke to me about my dad having lost my mom. to Gwyn Henry

I also like These are the Only Times I Think of You... You are so prolific and so consistent in quality of work. Gwyn Henry

That pain is incredible and I understand it Alene Brandt

I love broccoli! In any form

Scott - Thanks for the link. I love how descripted they were i never have smelled the orange blossoms but i bet they are heavenly. Me -The first time it hit me, I was taking Kay Smart for a ride, top down just west of that bridge at Lemon cove. Nothing else like it. Scott - Enter Scott Scott Carson Ausburn I bet ; ) Nothing like smell to jog your memories. I usta be in love with this girl named Belinda that lived up the street from my Grandmothers. We would go bicycle riding often. Her front yard had plum trees that smelled heavenly when the were in bloom. Now every time i smell a plum tree bloom it takes me back to the good times i had with Belinda and wondering what ever happened to her. Me -So sweet. Peggy wore Sweet Honesty perfume. I’m sure if I met some girl with that I would be shaken.

I sang this song at a Sunday night songwriter contest at The Playground in Fort Worth. No cigar.

Gwyn Henry I go farther and farther into my appreciation of you songwriting skills... lyrics poetic... ex Broke Piano.. The line that got me this time was "The only things that moves my strings is when somebody breathes" I once interviewed a popular musician in Tulsa, John D.Levan, in the late 70s. When I asked him where he got his ideas for songs, he laughed and said, "Heck, you just turn your head, and thre's a song!" Your line is saying the same, only more intensely... it's the inclusion of "human breath". goes even deeper.

Gwyn Henry That one would be my fav of all I have seen! They are all great, but my fav... will never forget you underneath that (was it a piano bed?) So many metaphors played into that... and don't we all just want to revert to childhood at times and go hide under the bed, take a crayon, etc. jmt - You are broadening my vision of the video. Yes. Under the bed was always a place of mystery and imagined safety.

Bobby Huskins I like this a lot! Thanks for sharing.

Kat Angel Psychedelic sound. Felt like a brain massage.

Welcome to Alonetone. jmt

This one too. I thot it was the continuation of SEE MOLLY PLAY.'

Someone should do an animation to go with this...it is very evocative. So bright and airy.

Well said.

Yeah, it's about staying sane and trying to live forever but I repeat myself.

Touching.

Really a grabber. Like it!

Very pensive. A sad urgency.

I've been listening to your songs for several hours. The way you do them is very restful. Nice voices and very peaceful sounds.

"Looking in her eyes is like looking in a mirror..." cool line.

I like this every time I listen to it and I listen to it about once a week.

I can see myself walking down a dirt road just enjoying the wildflowers and dodging grasshoppers as I hum this one to myself.

I'd like to see the video to this one.

Cool. You got me to singing along.

Really like the bass sound. The phasie feel.

Wizard...like your description of the song CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT. I wouldn't tell that to the lady that sang it but I find it charming and your comment apt.

Immediately drawn by the vocal sound on this. So full and resonant. Still can understand the lyric. Like the first person thing you do.

You've got your machinery working well. Like your version of this old song.

Your mics are doing what they need to do: clear vocal and all words understandable. Good clean rendering of your song. I like your voice and your song. Heart science isn't rocket science.

Gotta be some Dylan in your background. Reminds me of some of the songs on his John Wesley Hardin album. Thanks for your comment on I WONDER. I have redone it since you listened to it. I have to post things and listen to them to find out what I need to do the finish them. j mt
