Lovely! Very nice song!

Love the lyrics! Maybe I'm feeling my age this morning!

I have to fave this just for Stephen Krell's outstanding banjo addition to this song from a past RPM album.

very very nice song.

You hit a nerve there (smile)

That's why we shop on-line. I see no need for stores anymore.

Ha! This strikes close to the bone, Keith.

Still laughing at this! Don't forget to tell them to stick their Rooty Toot Toot up their Rummy Tum Tum

Thanks! yeah my current recording set up leaves a lot to be desired. I like this song, though! Love the guitar intro, and the lyrics are very sweet and soothing

Haha Let it out man!!!! Love it! Great song writing, and a super fast strum you have going on!!!

lol :)

HA! That's great! Pretty much sums up my feeling about holidays in general!

Wonderful!

LMAO! Brilliant!!!! w;-)

I'm with Greg, a guy & a guitar that does it for me too, and in one of my fav. tunings. Good stuff.

Cool! I like this version too

For the record, this song was written specifically with Jim's MTC goodness in mind, so I hear this version as frighteningly incomplete... But it is how it sounds when it's just me at the bonfire, so thanks to those of you who like this version as well.

Sounds better with out me ;) I jam this one all the time on my home computer.

This one is good too, although, I think you hit the bullseye on your last version.

I like the sparse sound. Of course, I'm a sucker for just guitar and voice.

Great song, Tharek! I agree with Bethan and Tess... Definitely one you wouldn't want to forget. Great guitarwork, great vocal... Just beautiful.

Holy crap, great opening guitar! Damn, just great stuff, T! Thanks for sharing this great music!

Man, I can tell the time, energy, love, and pain you put into this album... A truly a magnificent compilation of music.

Great track... I love the accent that comes through on this one. Man does this one ring true, my kind of folk music, my friend.

Great haunting sound to this one, my friend. Osckilo night was definitely a good idea!

Great track... Fantastic live performance! Wow... just wow.

So nice to listen to this one again... One of the good ones that I didn't miss a while back!

Ah... So good right from the start, but I've come to expect that from Osckilo's acoustic arrangements. Instant fave. Man, I could just listen to you playing acoustic guitar all day. Tomorrow I start the download fest of Osckilo's greatest hits for use on road trips.

Faved at 0:10... Wow. This style of layered guitar arrangement is just incredible! I'd love to know in what order you recorded them... It's so cleanly and perfectly played... I feel like I walked in on a great live gig.

I'll stop saying it at some point, but I really am amazed and envious of your understanding of your instrument and your voice. Just timeless music. Incredible.

Man, so the words just pour out of you as you play, because that's what it sounds like... The words themselves are so perfectly formed to work with the music. I am truly envious of this marriage of vocal/instrument arrangement.

Oh wow... This is amazing! Man, you are some kind of musician! Just beautiful style... How did I ever miss this one?

Excellent arrangement... You have a great musical ear! Having messed around with Garageband for hours to get quality arrangements, I can appreciate the effort involved in producing such a full sound... and those searing vocals... Wow.

Very heavy stuff, man. What a departure from the rest of this playlist. Quite ass-kickin',

Faved at 0:15. Not to worry, my friend, this is not "preachy" at all... Just a genuine song representing a part of who you are.

Oh wow, this is good right from the start. I had already faved this one a while back. Just a great love song from the amazing perspective of recall. INCREDIBLE guitarwork. What is your music background, Tharek? This is as good as it gets.

Beautiful opening picking, Tharek! What a genuine voice... Talk about honest music. Wow. I have a feeling that your music will soon begin to influence mine in some pretty profound ways.

How do you do your recording? Do you have separate mics for the vocals and guitar? I'd love to know since it sounds so good (I'm always looking for good ideas in an effort to make my music sound better).

Just a fantastic use of "ours is not to reason why." Great guitarwork and chord progression as always... If you don't come away from this song thinking hard, then there must be something wrong with you.

Just fantastic. So many powerful verses and every one is so meaningful and necessary. Whereas I find it hard to fill out "that dreaded third verse," it seems to me that meaningful words just pour out of Tharek effortlessly as he plays. I wish there were a way to "double favorite" a song when it's this good.
