Tommy comes back with a killer song! This is top shelf all the way. Outstanding guitar licks. Great backing tracks and mix. This is something John Prine would sing and I say that as a big compliment. Mario, Thank you for the very thoughtful review. Tom

Fabulous song but I REALLY didn't like the reverb/delay/spring slap part of the intro guitar. It made more sense when the snare joined it but I'm still not a fan. Ray thanks for liking the song. The delay on the slap was an attempt to accentuate the beat. Maybe it didn’t work as well as I intended but I like it, Tom

You meet such interesting people in your travels and then write songs that distill the essence of their stories into fine gems. This song is no exception. Janice said she is always reminded of Travels with Charley by Steinbeck. We love the arrangement too and your voice just gets richer in timbre. Excellent instrumental performances … of course. Great production to present all of the above. Welcome back Tom! J&B

I like it. And I like how you grab things from your journeys and incorporate them into your writing.
My favorite of your is still Waterline. I have to drop in to your site periodically and have a listen to that one. Herb, thanks for checking in. There’s a lot of material out there on the road. It makes it easy to write, Tom

Hi Tom ...
What a terrific, cool song! I'm on listen #2 as I type this. Love the simplicity of the arrangement. Simplicity isn't all that easy if you're looking for a full sound. Yet you pull it off so perfectly. welcome back, and thanks for giving us this treat.
Take care,
Alan Hello Alan. I hope all is well with you. Thanks for another great review, Tom

Lovely understated lyrics. Wonderful song, Tom. My only sugg would be to try and downplay the first chorus a tad by leaving out something so as to build to the final choruses. It may not work though. Vic Thanks for stopping by Vic. I appreciate it,Tom

I was entertained by the story behind the song.
Your vocal is exceptional. I don't know which instruments in the mix are you, but the whole ensemble, in addition to the melody and vocal, drive the song.

I love this song, Tom! The vibe and production is awesome to say the least. I agree, it is a confusing life story the guy you met had, however, you did a great job making it universal with your lyrics. Great job!!
