You commented on my HEAR MY FINAL SONG song, "Makes me want to hear more of the story." My idea for the song was, what if life was a bar, and all 7.5 billion earthling were group into just a handful of characters that could fit into a bar. But the reason it's my final song is due to an illness that is preventing me from playing guitar like I use to and I don't have the strength and energy to take on anymore recording projects. Thanks for listening and your interest in the song -- it means a lot!

WHOA! Brief but epic. Very, very cool!

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Harold

Very Clever! Easily puts images into the mind. Nice work!

Short and Sweet. Good message.

Rock on! Rock the Hell on!

Minimal and to the point, I do like the Bit

I love the retro vibe of this (and actually all your other songs, too). Great arrangement, composition, everything!

It's always nice to come back and listen to some of your songs. I just wish there was more (spare) time in a day.

Cool, I never knew you were Bob Dylan's brother, James. ;)

Sad and beautiful at the same time. A good look into the lives we lead.

anthem for about a third of Americas population. nicely done

I just toured your website. Wow . . . That's an impressive life.

*Smiling*. By the end of this.

*Oh* . . . . . . This is good! You hit the spot with this one.

LIKE THIS.

Sounds like your version of Helter Skelter...

Real cause for the blues.

Sounds like someone is having fun. Reminds me of when I was a kid and Mom taught me to put wax paper over a comb.

Cool song...

I have a song in the movie THE VANISHING. That movie starred Jeff Bridges and Keefer Southerland. I did all the music in a movie called RED DESERT PENITENTIARY. A film maker in Austin is finishing a short movie with about nine of my songs in it. Another Dallas film makes used me as an actor in a film recently and used a piece of mine as the theme song for that actor. It all adds up...to....something. Except for the Vanishing and Dark Blood there is no money.

Oh, that! I was nominated for Best Texas Music when my music isn't about Texas at all. It's all silly. It's all about the young musicians in town. They have a big blow out at the awards shin dig and everybody has fun but nobody takes it seriously about who is really the best in town. That movie is called DARK BLOOD, finally to be finished by the director, George Sluizer. The movie was started in 1993 and production ceased when River Phoenix died of an overdose. Now it is being finished with narration filling in the unshot scenes. I suspect it will get a lot of attention because if it being River's last film and the circumstances.

Greg, I don't know about that contest. I DID get a song in an upcoming movie recently so that is a lot like winning a contest.

You songs are like slide shows... Little movies.

...sometimes the answer is "Yes", and sometimes, "No."

"...tin cup in a water pail..." Been there. Your song is full of very clear pictures. Like it.

Nice. I can hear the Beatles singing this.

Great energy. Great story.

I like it but I want to hear your words...

Very nice..."another place and another time..."

I second what Bethan said, "Sweet."

I understand. I have the same problem with a lot of old material.

Mix your voice so we can hear your lyric or include the lyric in the "about" section. I want to understand what you are saying.

Wish the voice wasn't so buried in the mix... Sounds real good.

Like it...glad you dug it back out. Sometimes we are too close to something when we first do it.
