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.....

So gorgeous is the music, so touching are the lyrics, so sweet and friendly and inviting are the vocals. This number touches and reaches in and beyond. Moving. lifting, comforting as it wraps about and flows through.

Gene Eric Mann, aka Justin Otter Guy, aka Merry Bear, aka Nightmoth. Yeah, I'm terminal, and my doctor's latest prediction is that I have but a week or so left. But thanks for being interested and asking. Keep me alive, in a sense, but playing one of my recordings from time to time. As I stated below as Justin, this song, for me, is hypnotic, meditative, and soothing. It's good for the soul, with healing properties. I like the space it puts me in -- it's melancholia but also relaxing, chilled. Lonely but peaceful.

Came by for another cup of melancholia.

I thought I had commented on this the first time I gave it my ear. Oh well -- I came back for a second helping, so let that be my comment!

That's a driven sound, and that in-reverse guitar is hott! Fried to a tasty crisp! A fabulous composition and performance, Cool vocals. Great job -- ROCK ON!

It has -- for me -- a sweet, gentle, John Denver-feel.

I sure dig the flavor of this one! The chords, scale, melody, vocals, effects -- it all suits my fancy but for the brevity. I could of used at least another 3 minutes of this.

What fabulous poetry! Perfect music. EXCELLENT COLLABORATION, AGAIN, y'all -- What a team! The vocals are lovely and sweet.

Awesome! A great flavor to this scale -- spicy! Love the way you whip it out and wave it about. ROCK ON!

You have a nice voice. Cool poetry. Pleasant strumming technique.

New Wave music: "...music with a twitchy, agitated feel, choppy rhythm guitars and fast tempos...incorporating electronic/experimental music, mod, disco and pop." ~ Wikipedia You definitely got the choppy guitar, the electronic, and the pop. But I didn't feel at all "agitated." It was a feel-good rhythm. Started my morning off right!

What a fabulous collaboration, y'all! Interesting lyrics -- they make one ponder -- and very appropriate music, saturated in melancholy.

:D Rock on, James!

Groovy, slick, and smooth!

Marvelous! :D

Oh yeah! I sooo dig your style. You've got great compositional tastes.

Happening bass and wah-wahing guitar -- always a great way to spend the afternoon.

I dig this, and relate -- each of my guitars are convinced I love them more than the others.

These lyrics are brilliant! Great vocal delivery, making the lyrics real. Good music and an excellent mix down and mastering job. Liking the tone of the lead picking.

Groovy -- Rock on!
