I'm a broken record but...I still wanna be able to write like that when I grow up.

That mando in with the TexMex accordion is a nice touch and really works well.

And the rest of the backing instruments are not only well selected but ALL work together. Love those RT genre mashups.

And the vocal...what's left to say? We'll just borrow Tangmo's comment:
"delivered with a sort-of weary casualness."

That is a fine description of the vocals.

You've been a machine of late and a damn good one!

PS Hey bro, I get it regarding the loss of high f and mixing...Janice bails me out all the time smile And my audiologist has hugely helped. I know it's frustrating.




Thanks J&B

I always appreciate the support and kind words,

Bud, you are a fine writer!

I've read about the process of trying to replace or implant new fibers in the ear to replace

lost ones and thus improve loss of hearing problems, but by the time it becomes practical it will probably be

much too late for me. Anyway, I know we've talked about hearing issues before and so I know

that you share many of the same frustrations and struggles, you are blessed to have Janice's

hearing and great instincts there to help.
