Excellent write and performance!! You always get such a live feel Kevin and I'm not sure how you pull it off. I can picture the recording studio filled with encouraging fans, and some people singing BGs and playing shakers. Harmonica was perfect. Great stuff!! Take care. Greg

Hi Kevin...
It sounds as though you are sitting across the room from us. You always manage to get such a true and live sound from your guitars. To us, we heard this as Country-Folk-Americana. Very original ... all of your songs have very interesting subjects. We enjoyed it a bunch! Happy New Year ...

I always enjoy hearing your songs, Kevin...
As Guenter noted, this is one of your best. It has all the elements that make up that "Kevin signature sound". Nice imagery in the write.
Janet does a good job on her parts.
I liked how "big" the sound got at the end.

Hi Kevin.
A first class piece of writing and a very atmospheric song.
Everything in it's place and, like Floyd said, it's nice the way it builds.
Great vocals from both you and Janet.
ROG.

Hey Kevin. Love this one. Your style is so distinctive and easy on the ear. Janet's contribution is awesome (I listened to it yesterday but have only got round to commenting now).

Wow Kevin....this is a GREAT song!
Loving the lyric, arrangement and
vocals.
The cool imagery is beggin' for a
video. As several have mentioned
the "build" is very effective.
And...it all has you signature organic
"right here in the room" sound.
Nice!!

Super big thanks to all who commented and listened. I am not sure how I get that "in the same room sound", it is probably mostly accidentally. I'll see what I can do to keep it going, though. FAWM is coming around again, time to start putting new strings on and getting ready for the songwriting extravaganza.
Thanks again!

Kevin I enjoyed listening and when I saw the title of your song I immediately went back in my mind to my home town in south Georgia where there was a motel called Thunderbird. It fit somewhat what you wrote about. You and Janet did a great job on the vocals and the mix was very good. Good story line.

Good song. The vocals are tight, the performances are believable and they sell the song. The mix is solid with the right blend of instruments and dynamics.
I really enjoyed this!
