Great work! Awesome warm-up for RPM!

Glad you like it... You should go listen to the original if you haven't had a chance yet.

Absolutely loved this one, made me fall in love with my own true love all over again

great treatment of a nice, tender song.

Beautiful song! Love the sparse arrangement

I love it when someone writes about the real in life. This is it. The kind of song that carries through life's changes. Music and the voice married perfectly.

This is such a wonderfully uplifting spring-morning playlist. We've all enjoyed your beautiful sounds this morning.

This made me cry. At breakfast time. You made me cry whilst making breakfast for everyone. They have soggy chocolate toast and cheerios now. And my coffee is salty. Beautiful, touching song. I wish I'd written this for my little daughters.

Love your voice! CLASSY cover of a lovely song. And Sam's lyrics are amazing.

good stuff man.

Great tune.

Nice song. Love the vocal in particular. Well done. sixmilewide member

Another brilliant track. Just amazing. Excellent musicianship and a stellar vocal performance.

HAHA! Great fun!

Absolutely wonderful job, Keith. Your version is better than mine. And thanks for adding the much-need bridge lyrics!

Wow...wow.

Very nice!

Well, it's an honour to be the first to listen to this incredible song. Love the hopeful sentiments about our mercurial life force. And your delivery is, as ever, delicious!

Very classy.

I want to be 5 years old again, nice job!

Woody Guthrie AND Kavin... One hell of a nice recipe for music.

Ah, good to see another upload! I hope you continue to dip into the old catalog of tunes... An oldie but goodie, this one.

...And this might be the best of the lot. Man, what a great sound! Six songs uploaded are simply not enough from you! I'll be looking out for more. Keep writing and playing. You've picked up a fan here in NY.

Radio ready sound. Damn... I guess all of strawbfan's tracks are going to be this good.

Man, how have I missed out on this stuff these last couple of months... Good thing I randomly picked a point on the alonetone map to see who's in the state... To think of what I would have missed out on!

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.
