Jimmy, I like this one. You mentioned the other day, that you might consider adding some cello to one of your new songs... ??? This version is only 2:09... seems to me... there might be plenty of room for a few bars of cello instrumental to float around between the words! But you know me... I have often mentioned to you, how good some of your instrumentals really are... and I have often thought that you, yourself, under appreciate yourself... when it comes to your own instrumentals. Good song... JohnQ

The lyrics are so descriptive and visual, such as the lipstick from NYC. Did you read about a suicide or make up the song from scratch? Jeff P

Thank you for sharing

I love that...reading and listening to it..! Love the sounds...i can feel the amercan poet in the music...and the vocal sound is really full... That song just makes me want to buy an old guitar....i keep lookin in the second hand stores around here...but theres no guitars...i dream that someday i’ll walk into anthony o hallorans second hand / antique shop, and there’ll be some old gem of a six string , archtop maybe, or a rusty old tele...full of mojo...waiting there for me to find...! I check every time im passing his place....i think i’ll never stop waiting.... But yes...thats a great track....you should send that out to dream guitars shop...in ashville....paul huemiller owns it....or some such shop....i bet one of those places would love that song for a website....im doin my website at the mo....id love to put that track on my instruments page...! Then people could send pics of the old guitars they bought and i could post those pics too...wouldnt that be a bit of craic....fun...we all buy guitars....a choir of guitar pickers could sing it....we buy guitars..✌️ Also...i never saw the link between telescopes amd guitars before....but i do now...its a cold night here...and a clear sky full of stars....Matt

Cool song, well written, vivid, and fun with a wicked twist at the end.

i buy guitars....i can't play them properly .... but i buy guitars too

Excellente

Really great track!!!!

What a gorgeous voice Barbara had and what a touching song. John O'Malley

soundtrack to riding in the West Texas desert with the top down?

A bit of a departure from your usual reflective messaging. This one is a real toe tapper.

First chuckle of the day! This has to be the only song I ever heard about an “Owie”. I wonder if your objective was to get a little attention from Harriet?

Harriet is a school nurse. She says this is a good song.

Beautiful with descriptive imagery. Nice song.

I ;ove the way y'all did that.

For years and years and years... this was the only JMT album I owned... this was the only JMT album that I knew existed; and this has always been one of my "most favorite" songs... not just one of my favorite JMT songs... one of my most favorite songs ever. I loved Barbara's voice and her timing and her range... and how she sang the song so... realistically. It was as if she and I were actually having this exchange in some noisy crowed smoke filled lounge. I never meet Barbara in person... but I knew her for years and years and years, Bye' Barbara... you are remembered.

Cool vibe eerily married to the dark content... I kind of want more verses to see what happens!

Thanks for the comment James! I love your story about your Senior year. This "Skating" song is fun to listen to. I'm on my second time thru. Definitely unique!

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.

Sounds like Las Angeles to me. Steely Dan. Clean.

Sounds like a trip across Arizona to me. On a Harley. Love of your life on the buddy seat. Arms around you. Wind blowing. Hair flying. Center line markers clicking by. Lost in the motion.
