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 track... Rings so true. I have been there my friend, and man does this song hit home so perfectly! And the outstanding upbeat nature of the song is just a perfect counterpoint to the harsh sentiments of the insane person.

Excellent arrangement!!! Love the acoustic sound. Faved when that third guitar dropped in at just the right time.

Faved for Kavin's slide guitar goodness!

How the hell did I miss this one! I gotta get my head out of my ass and swing by the osckilo part of the world more often! Well done, my friend!

REALLY clean work here! Great production quality on this track, Brian!... And clearly a great deal of time was spent on this... And the fun created truly does come through. Well done!

http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae64/mtcband/Mobile%20Uploads/th_AWARD.jpg Thank you so much M.T.C. Music award committee for recognizing such a relatively simple acoustic track from such a relatively simple person... (puts hand over mic to ask presenter, "Are you sure I really won this... Did you read the wrong name?")... I'd like to thank my new laptop for not crashing during the 2011 RPM process, and not developing an editing mind of it's own as the last one had. I'd also like to thank time, seeing as how I needed so friggin' much of it to get the fingerpicked portions of this song eventually done right. A big thank you to the inspiration for the songs, my always-ready-to-go-no-matter-how-absurdly-cold-it-is daughters. And a special thank you to my beautiful (and extremely tolerant) wife Kimberly for taking these same terrific daughters off my hands during my February vacation (sorry, Florida, for the pink invasion). Where's the after party!

I can always count on a little slice of perfection from Peter... Perfectly crafted song, my friend! I truly envy your mastery of your voice, virtuosity with your instruments, and flawless ear for arrangement.

Excellent track! So perfectly melodic and understated!

Hey superstar! So glad to see this one posted on your page!... I'll be finding some time in the coming weeks to record yet another version (with my vocals alongside yours), but I don't think I could possibly top Willem's!

(@Reefwalker) I may go back and record a different version with the two of us singing together. It is daunting to try to keep up with her incredible vocal talents, though!

Corbin, Just swinging by again to have a listen to this little piece of perfection. Hey, how many of the instruments are you playing on this? I'd love to hear the recording process for this song. It truly is one of the most perfectly crafted, arranged, and performed songs I have ever heard. Be good and keep charging toward greatness! Keith

What incredible music, Craig! I can't believe I've missed out on these perfect tunes for so long!

My oldest is a serious mountain hiker, herself. I'll be playing this beautiful song for her later... If you want to hear my version of a hiking song (a day with my middle and youngest when they were really little), come on over for a listen! http://alonetone.com/keithlandryacoustic/tracks/sleeping-beauty-mountain I've got a bunch of other songs over there written about hiking in the mountains... But none so tremendously arranged as this gem of yours.

Faved instantly!

I'm always blown away by what comes out of your mind, through your hands, in into a microphone. Such good sounds... Always such good sounds.

Oh goodness... How have I missed this all this time?!?!?! AMAZING.

My friend, you have a knowledge of your instrument that I could never hope to have. Magnificent piece of music.

Faved instantly.

Very nice haunting arrangement. Love the guitar coming in at around 1:20-ish. Really deftly handled orchestration throughout.

Oooooh... This is NICE. Faved almost instantly. I really will need to give your songs the serious time they deserve. OUTSTANDING track... I have a feeling they're all gonna be this good.
