Your song brings back a lot of memories. Thanks for that smile[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]

Janice is the perfect harmony partner for you, your voices go very well together.
Great song!
"an old car, a tent and lots of fun." Yep, you got it, BD. Janice can make anyone sound so much better.

Thanks, Laurent. It'd be great to see you out there.

I really loved everything about it, Tom
Tom, you are one guy I definitely thought of when writing this. You always write such good songs about the folks you meet on your travels. Glad you downloaded the story. I think you're in it somewhere.

Nice pieces in the band - everything fits so nicely.

And how can you not think of Janice's voice without searching for superlatives that don't yet exist? As Tom mentioned, the delayed harmony is just so danged good!

You're turning into a music machine, Marty. I'll drop my quarter in the slot any time. Keep 'em coming.

Alan
Your books were also an inspiration for this one, Alan. This is the kind of song that can have different verses at different fires. Yours would sing about Dot and the half-pint. "Superlatives that don't yet exist"is a great way to describe Janice. The idea was to use only "baby chords" so any strummer at any campfire could easily play it without moving from the first postition. It's just another kumbaya song. The delayed harmony started as a round (also popular at campsites), but morphed into the sing-along. Thank you, Alan.

Enjoy whatever happens!
