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.....

Oh yeah, I meant to mention, those are EXCELLENT lyrics!

I love hearing her sing -- she's so good at it. I totally dig the tempo, the rhythm, the pauses, the picking, everything. This recording is full of style and class. A fabulous job, y'all!

Well, this is completely different! Sounds like a successful experiment. I'm impressed that you're not only not stuck to one genre, but that your skills are wide and encompassing. Great job, Holly!

Dig. Sweet picking at the end. I'm DTD about the length - I could have stood a few more seconds of that. It was just getting juicy!

I visualize this one, personally, as being perfect for a one-on-one battle, but good for both a contest between warriors or wizards.

Makes me want to call all my warrior friends to arms against the goblin scourge! Very nicely done. If you're not already, you should be a composer in the gaming industry.

A very lovely arrangement!

You know your way around the keyboard! Gorgeous selection and arrangement of chords.

All those tasty guitar tracks -- yummy!

At least 3 of my favorite musicians are hanging in or about Minneapolis, namely, Greg, Mark, and Colleen. Must be all the snow and moose sightings that keep y'all so artistically inspired.

Having wrote a song myself called "Last Night," I had to check out yours. I'm with Greg on the bounce and Fat Burrito on the harmony. Can definitely discern a "The Who" influence, and that's just far out groovy.

Short, but to the point, and effective! Nice vocals and strumming style. Good melody.

Big time fun! Rock on!

Your tone is not Neil, but your style, your delivery, is very much Neil. This is a really enjoyable recording. Very exciting, very tastefully done. ROCK ON!

The percussion section is exceptionally groovy. Great job on the harmonica. Well, really, all of it is great.

That lead break is really something!

The poetry is excellent, and the music is dark yet delicious -- like chocolate. Great vocal delivery. The mix down and mastering job produced a powerful recording. Gripping, reaching deep within this listener. I'm going to be following you hereafter. This is really fantastic, fabulous -- brilliantly done!

The music is a Stephen Stills-style early '70s-flavor of that effective country/folk rock formulae of simple and sweet, allowing the lyrics and vocals to shine. And in this case your vocals do the lyrics serious justice, and those lyrics are moving, touching. They sucked me in, inviting me to visualize the setting and experience the emotions. This is a for-real good bit of songwriting. This was how it was done in our day, but the art seems lost on the under 30 generation.

Dirty Deep Dark D -- Damn Delightful, Dude!

My soul-mate, "Starry Nightmoth," wanted me to tell you she really likes this. She had me play it again, and got no argument from me!
