Tom,
Much appreciated - thank you.
Yes, new mic. It's called a Copperphone. It's made especially for a LoFi sound. Not for every recording, but useful when you need a very vintage sound.

The voice, the phrasing, the guitar, all fit the mood of the song perfectly.

Hi Bob,
This song pleased me very much. But the others did too!
The guitar sounds wonderful, and your voice is very good.
Wonderfully melancholic song, you can just see how the story unfolds. Well done!

Evocative and beautiful. A sad, but somehow uplifting song.

Beautiful, poetic song, Bob. I feel there's a movie in there.. Very real.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

More poetry set to music by Mr. Robert Dean.
Using litotes in your opening line is a good way to set the tone for her understated life.
Fine work!

Hi Bob,
I thought I'd left a comment when I listened yesterday - guess not! Damn - this getting old thing had a lot of potholes in its road!
Sweet song! You give Americana music a great face - and sound. Your songs are so good and your delivery to wonderful, the sparse backing tracks you typically use are all that's needed. No need to cover up your lyrics and vocals with unnecessary stuff that might get in the way.
You are very talented, my friend ...

Another in the series of fine tales of cartographic missives. The voice REALLY sits in the place & time ...name dropping Ms. Smith is always a nice thing too.
Cheers

Janice loved it from the very first line and said the first verse could be a beautiful song all on its own.
Your vocal sounds wonderful, the melody is beautiful and the sparse band is perfect.
There is SO much goodness packed into those three minutes.
A showcase in the forum showcase of what “singer-songwriter” is all about.
Spectacular!
