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!

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.....

OK, now this is just too groovy! Really digging that bass line. The melody ROCKS! What a far out, fabulous scale, and you execute it well. Everything's delivered nicely, and the mix down/mastering job is delicious. Keep doing this!

Beatle-ish, which means I love it! Rock on!

Gorgeous, delicious, brilliantly arranged.

Brilliantly groovy -- Rock on!

This one is different. The lead violin is gorgeous! You are an excellent, masterful composer -- you should be as well know as Mozart. Very interesting at the 2:40 mark -- psychedelic seasoning. Delicious -- I love it, love the way you paint with sounds. some great imagery after the 5:00 mark. The way the violin and chello play off each other after that is brilliant. Enjoyed the entire seven minute trip, thank you!

I dig the psychedelic darkness. Hold on tight, this is going to be a trip! Thanks for the ride -- it was a blast!

A fab compilation of sounds. I like the way you think, musically -- you have great taste. Very delightful, very entertaining. Rock on!

I dig your darkness.

Groovy. I'm digging the beat, guitar, lyrics, and vocals -- an all around great job!

I like that scale! A cool compilation of sounds. Always enjoy a little wahwah. Especially dig the psychedelic seasoning. However, there is a minute of silence at the end -- was the intentional?

I love your psychedelic seasoning. Tasty!

Alright! That is one super groovy rift! Stay groovy!

I dig the double vocals. Nice job. Rock on!

That's a groovy strumming pattern! the lead guitar is really tasty. A really great job on this one. Rock on!

Sweet. Nice picking. Great bass line.

Excellent. Great execution on the guitars, great delivery with the vocals. Beautiful, moving, touching, tasteful. Fabulous.

I dig your vocals. Groovy lyrics. Happening beat. A fabulous compilation of sounds. A very professional mix down/mastering job. You ROCK -- Rock on!

Love the bass especially!
