Great Guitar rythm and slide work. Vocals are awesome!! thanks for Sharing!

Paul Siegmund turned me on to you...

Thanks, Gene. It's been a pleasure accompanying and listening to your music! I'll always treasure our exchanges.

*AND NOW THAT I'M LOGGED IN* . . . . . It looks like I have accidently added a little humor as well.

I got the speakers turned all the way up Gene! We've been through a lot. Remember all the song writing challenges at EZFolk? I never thought I would have so many friends that I will never meet in person. Your last song is something to be proud of. I was taken by the lyrics bouncing between acceptance and denial. Steve mentioned the chord changes. Mark talked about the weight of the message. We were honored that you asked us for a little help.

Greg, Steve, Mark: I am so touched, so moved. This final mix down brought a tear to my eye and a chill to my bone. Y'all handle this song with great care and delicacy and made a marvelous bit of music. I'm right proud of all of you and my friendship with you. I'm very lucky to have had this chance to make this beautiful song with such beautiful souls with what days I've been graced with. Thank you all so very much! Rick Koehl/Merry Bear/Justin Otter Guy/Gene Eric Mann

Well I don't think this needs me but that's not gonna stop me. Go Mark Ill meet you on the track . Winner Rick !

Good song, man! Like the atmosphere. Strong vocals.

feels like Im on the water ready to sail, thanks gene

nice clean guitar sounds

It will be fun to hear when the other parts come in. Merry Christmas Gene!

If someone can do some Bodhran drum in the final mix it would add a lot. Rick's songs always had the beat and place for one in them. Great job Greg. Great lyrics Mr. Mann

I'm liking the harmonica. Nice one.

nice and heart felt song.....

I dig your handle of the keys and your vocal delivery – ROCK ON!

Someone ought to do something with this -- it's good stuff!

Reminds me of a few early John and Paul collaborations -- a bit of psychedelic seasoning, an intriguing flow, a bridge that's like a whole other song. Brilliant! Great job!

Good stuff -- I dig your style, composition-wise and performance-wise.

Enjoyed it!

"Just like a monkey up in the tree Throwing your feces straight at me" -- definitely my favorite lines in this number! Such a beautiful song, so gorgeous, and the lyrics are so powerful!

Playing it again. This is one for the headphones! Love that lead guitar moving from ear to ear -- good fun!

I found this to be delightfully entertaining in either directions, but it really was particularly pleasant and delicious in reverse.

I'm downloading it and running it through my studio software because something about it makes me want to hear it backwards. Enchanting and intriguing, pricking the brain.

I hear the Paul influence, but not so much the song you mentioned as "Black Bird Fly," which I like! ;)

I dig how y'all blended, mixed down and mastered the vocal tracks -- fabulous job!

A wee bit of Hawaiian spice sprinkled upon this one -- tasty. Y'all blend superbly, vocally. Loving that Youngbloods-like guitar effect. Beautiful!

Y'all did an amazing, fabulous, exceptional job with this number. Excellent! ROCK ON!

Reminds me of some Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd -- back when the were The Pink Floyd and released not LPs but rather 45s like See Emily Play. Very groovy, cool, far out sounds. Thanks for reflecting this juicy era of music!

Dig that guitar! Nice effect, sweet picking. Groovy, colorful sounds all around.

Another number that reminds me of The Outsiders and The Youngbloods and other bands and songs of the Psychedelic '60s and the reign of the hippies over the music industry in that era. Solid GOLD, man!

Things that go together: lava lamp, tie-dyed shirt, incense smoke, headphones, and music by The Proods!

The folks under 40 between 1964 and 1970 would have ate this song up! A brilliant composition and a delicious production!

Only the 2nd time in my 54 years on the planet that I've heard a song sung from the perspective of one who died in a car crash, so while I can't say it hasn't been done before, it's still rather rare. What I can say is that this one is by far the superior of the two. Great job -- lyrically, vocally, and musically!

I’m on AloneTone as Gene Eric Mann (generic man), Justin Otter Guy (just another guy), Merry Bear, and Nightmoth. I really appreciate that you listened to ALL my Nightmoth recordings – those old children songs are particular horrid numbers, recorded before I knew much about what I was doing. Anyway, I’m here to return as much of the time and ear you lent to me as I can and play your 13 gems. I already dig “Breakfast” and “Boyfriend” so I’m sure I’ll get a kick from the rest. Your style turns me on and tickles my fancy. Thanks for the listen and always, always, ROCK ON!
