Thanks, Paul. Yeah, the banjo really makes the song move along when it came in for the 2nd verse.

Thanks, Brad. So much more fun and better results crafting instrument tracks, especialy solos, where we now have the ability to create them or correct them measure by measure.

So glad you felt that, David. Thanks much.

AND wrote a thoughtful contemplative lyric.
A lyric that was well expressed with your vocal, bass chops and the band.
The fiddle worked well and the banjo was a nice subtle addition.

We loved this:
“Goodbye to trees and rocks that grow with them.
Goodbye to the seas and the clouds in the sky.
I love what you gave me in colors and rhythm.
I bow to all my last goodbye.”

Excellent song to end the album with!

J&B
Thanks, Janice & Bud. The lyrics were already written somewhere inside. This one comes from personal exerience, I guess, whereas most of my songs are made up stories or attempts at clarifying thoughts.

That "non-ending" ending was sneaky and great treat!

Never a disappointment when I click onto your music - nothing but smiles and pure enjoyment.

Thanks, Alan. It's cool how everyone is noticing the impact of the banjo.

Enjoy whatever happens!
