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.....

That was some groovy lead guitar! ;)

Some sad, in your face, bittersweet, reaching lyrics.

You have a great, cool style. I'm into it. You got me! ROCK ON!

I decide while I was here, after enjoying the first three songs I listen to, that I'd just go ahead and hear the rest of your postings. I like the panning job on this one. Good, wide feel.

I'm into how your mind works musically. What you fit together works for me, and your vocals and poetry works for me too. Great stuff -- Rock on!

Oh, very nice! Groovy percussions! I dig the sound combination -- shows great taste.

I like it. I'll follow you. Nice strumming style, cool vocals, interesting lyrics, nifty break, pleasant chord arrangement. DIG!

Wha wha wha wha wow! Tasty! Diging the gravely voice, the guitar and effects, the lyrics... a great way to start my morning -- that is, your new song AND this cup of coffee right here... ;)

I missed this one! I dig it, especially the switch over at the end. Groovy. You da man!

GORGEOUS! You always do a great job, but this is fabulous!

I dig this composition of random noise -- it's out of the box yet still groovy. The sounds are pleasant, interesting, fun, and all seem to fall in timely and executed with meaning, intent, purpose, despite also seemingly random as per the title. Effective while psychedelic and definitely far out. Keep it groovy, Man!

I noted that Greg Conner, whose opinion I've come to trust, had commented on this song, so I came by for a listen. You've won a new fan -- I'll be following you hear-after. This is a gorgeous song -- the strumming, the picking, the vocals, the lyrics, the mix down/mastering job -- it's all beautiful! Great job -- Rock on!

Well this is certainly a bit different than the last few of your creations I just heard. I like the acoustic-sounding rhythm guitar -- nice strumming style. I'm pleased to discover that you're not stuck in a particular box and are actually broader than that. The lead guitar on this one is really emotional, sweet, and gripping.

I'm really digging the melodic lines of this mix down. Nice attack, really demonstrating your guitar skills here, what with the expertly executed harmonic licks which give a lot of other guitarists a bit of grief and a great delivery of the scale.

I am particularly impressed with your drumming skills. I can tell you're fun on them, and you're creative at it, composing with that set up rather than simply keeping a beat. Again, a great job.

Very professional, a very classy, tasteful composition. Your talents at the various instruments and at mixing down and mastering is quite impressive. Great job -- Rock on!

Now I know what an EBow is -- just looked it up at Wikipedia -- and what the results are when employed. Sounds very groovy. Thanks for expanding my world!

You should be a billionaire. Paul McCartney could never pick like you and he's a freaking billionaire. It's a shame that your one in a million picking talent is overlooked. But it's a thrill to have you here with us less evolved musicians on AloneTone -- thanks for sharing your very exceptional gift!

Intricate and intriguing. I dig that far out, jazzy scale. Like coloring outside the lines -- when done right, it can be totally groovy. Once again, a brilliant, fabulous job!

JUICY!!!
