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 love it!!!

Gentle, sweet, pretty, lovely, delightful, moving, relaxing, meditative.

Bittersweet, with sad lyrics sung over beautiful piano. On the one hand I’m thinking, “That poor guy needs some company,” while on the other, selfish hand I’m thinking, “But out of his misery came this gorgeous music we might not otherwise have been blessed to experience.” And on my third, evil hand, I’m thinking, “What kind of awesome tune would he belt out if we increased his misery by roughing him up every now and then?”

Fun mix – I believe you tested positive! Consider extending this into something more. Have you heard of my songwriting challenge, to come up with a recording befitting the title, “How to Assemble Your Android?” This Sci Fi test sounds like the start of something that could meet that challenge.

I dig the organ in this version. The drums are handled well. Ooh, here's the lead guitar part I was waiting for -- TOO SHORT!

Reminds me of some late-'60s Psychedelic Grunge Rock, which is like, wow, my favorite genre of music, man! Far out and groovy. Happening. Rock on!

Digging the reverb and the wammy bar. Warm sounds. Rich, full, robust chords. Tasty like chocolate Easter bunnies from Europe!

Came by to hear if I still liked this one. Apparently I still do. Gorgeous.

Like Greg Connor, this one is, SO FAR, my favorite.

I meditatively floated away with this expansive, gentle, gorgeous, peaceful piece.

And, he's a mighty fine picker too!

Bobby Hamblin knows what he's doing!

An exceptional job -- great lyrics, pleasant music. You done good. The snore at the end -- ha ha! Sure glad you got in on this challenge, and, as Greg said, welcome to the party!

there is so much in this to appreciate. You have frea taste when it comes to compiling sounds and manipulating with effects and then mixing down the tracks and mastering the final sound file. You're a sound engineering master artist!

Very early-Rolling Stones-ish. I can see Mic Jagger strutting about the stage in my mind as I listen to this. Dig!

In the traditional Harris-style; slick, sly, and tasty!

Sweet, lovely lyrics, singing, and picking.

I dig this composition. It speaks to me and gets beneath my skin. Great delivery. Nice mix down/mastering job. Rock on!

You're the only songwriter I know that would, and successfully cold, write a tear-jerker about an old couch. 5 solid gold kudos! Keep it real, James!

Funkilicious, far out, groovy, fun.
