Robert,
I REALLY like this. It has some very strong Paul Simon elements, and I say that as a huge compliment.

Hi Robert, The fingerpicking work does remind us of Paul Simon. The vocal, however, doesn't.... It reminds us of Donovan Nice work! Rob and Anne-Marie

Robert, as I commented on Sound Cloud, your painter's canvas has many colors on it. Masterful use of creative lyrics here! And as others have stated, very much like something Paul Simon would do. Thanks, Torrey.

Bob Bob, Thank you. I`ve tried to accompany this song with this style of fingerpicking and never mastered it, so was happy to find those twinned Real Track guitars that carry the song`s feel. Robert

Funny you should mention Donovan - I did hear a bit of Colours in the melody ...after I`d come up with it of course! Robert

Nice song Robert!! Some really interesting lyrical images. I really like the chord changes and melody. Arrangement works well (particularly harmonica). Very nicely done!! Take care. Greg

The band works well for this, Robert. Interesting imagery in the lyric (as always). I did find it rather cryptic - even after a couple of times through...
A nice "gentle" vocal.

Greg Greg, Thank you! A lot of images in there from the marvellous descriptions in the book. I`ve been wanting to get a little harp into a track since getting BiaB. Robert

fj Floyd, Thanks for giving it a couple of plays - glad you liked the simple arrangement & the vocal. I think there`s a little of the cryptic in most of my songs... its my style! Robert

A moving song, a boy's thoughts as he goes about his chores on the prairie. I spent a year in Canada and the prairie loomed large in peoples' imagination. I liked the way "over the sea" ended in a melodic turn down.
