Hope all is well in your world,

Thank you, Deej. All is well here. World Series tonight although my team is an also-ran.

As Janice says, being in nature is good for our body, mind, heart and soul!

What a cool reggae blues, Marty, and Dave’s guitar is cooking and his fills supported so well the “smiles” in the lyric. smile
Wrapped up a nice mix too.

Your vocals and bass are excellent and you sound like you truly enjoyed this groove.
We've done several reggae tunes, and man, is that ever a different vibe to sing over and play on!

We also love the scenes in the video and are now wishing we were in one of those magnificent settings.

"All the troubles seem quite taken with the stuff they call the news and fly off in a quiet breeze.
Under the shade of God's green canopy we breathe a breath of joy, and grow to fight another day."

As I said you nailed it...Dan
Thanks, Dan. Yep, whatever style there is always room for some Blues. Gethsemane is a garden, too. It's all good.

Enjoy whatever happens!
