I like the story, clever playing with now and then. And so much feeling in a simple sentence "Now and then are different, I know." Must be the first song from you that has brought tears to my eyes smile
Great vocals, I like how "now" goes downwards. The instrumentation is solid and pleasant to my ears.

Now and then lovely and melancholy --can't have one without the other. I like your formula for Blues. Thanks, Janne. Not sure whether to say sorry or you're welcome for the tear jerking. Crying is supposed to be a good thing --some say.

Reggae<->Blues? Very cool vibe and authentic live feel to it. Neat style mash up. Bass is super fun on this tune. Excellent vocals and Dave bluesy parts. Mixed and listens very well. The (only) critical comment I have is maybe give it a second or two of silence in the beginning. Liked it and thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Thanks, Misha!! Excellent feedback, too. You're right --not sure where that habit started with that too-quick of a start. I think it stems from making albums and wanting the songs to flow more quickly. Sometimes I forget to check.

Enjoy whatever happens!
