Great playing - wonderful feel! And I have to say I'm really digging your vocals - I'd love to hear them louder in the mix, but that's just a personal thing because I think your voice deserves to ring out. I'm picking out great textures and a great tone. Wonderful stuff!

I don't usually like to be compared, so I don't usually compare any one else, But here goes. Stephen Stills is one of my heros, and a large influence on me, and my brother, you and your style of playing and writing, sound more like him than anyone I've ever heard. But, I can plainly hear, that you are a man who plainly hears YOUR OWN MUSIC. And I always dig that!!! Count me as a FAN, crackitopen Keep it up, no matter what they say!!!!

scattered by the sun
to fishing boats painted on
far off horizons
a melody he offers
in toast of their run

Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Today I got an email about a lyric contest and the title had to be I WONDER...so I wrote this!
I WONDER by James Michael Taylor
I wonder, I wonder out loud
Why I wander under a cloud
A cloud with it's rain
It's lightning and pain…

As she fiddles with the folds in her skirt
Her stare is off to unknown places out there
While her gaze rests at the stain on her shirt
Like a child, so oblivious, so unaware
Her green eyes, her black hair, her pale skin, her dark stare
