Fred,

Great to see you back!

Another excellent write.

"The church gave up its stain glass
This town gave up its soul
I feel like one sad soldier
Lost out on patrol"

Nice!

The BAND works.
Your vocals always strike me as "authentic" (whatever that may mean...)
I like a dry (ish) vocal for this, but I thought it was just a TOUCH too dry (maybe a hint of reverb, a hint of delay?)

Enjoyed the listen (as usual)

For those who were not around the last time Fred was posting, you should check out his 52-week-song-a-week blog (in his signature). Good stuff from beginning to end.
