Your vocal is great and Dave’s fine guitar is mesmerizing. Ethereal evocative blues.

Great mix with, as always, your fine bass so well supporting Dave and the BiaB wrecking crew.
Nice supportive vid too.

Awesome!

Thanks very much, Janice & Bud. I know you are a dreamer with positive hope, Janice (and Bud'll tell ya you also make dreams come true {good one, eh, Bud}). You guys are inspirational in so many ways. Thanks again. Hey, Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.

"When the world feels cold and distant, and shadows fall upon our way/the dreaming tree stands firm, persistent, a beacon through our darkest day." majestic, WOW!

I enjoyed listening to your emotional vocals. Dave exceeds himself again with his superb guitar playing, I enjoy blues playing by Joe Bonamassa, but Dave is even cooler and better! Modern and timeless music, masterpiece both philosophically and musically.

Janne
Janne, your comments are always quite special to me. Thanks. Yeah, I think of John Lennon actually when I review lyrics to remove or rephrase to rid those fill words. He went on and on one time about using the word "just"
just
to fill the syllabic requirement. I recently saw a pic with Dave and Bonamassa, and said that same thing to myself. Joe is good at doing his stuff (obviously), but Dave has so much more stuff. Said it before, Janne, but I wish we lived in walking distance from each other.

Thanks, Scott. Hey, just yesterday I broke out all of the Ezekiel Storm music I've downloaded and listened to them coming and going from a jam. Those ghosts who never lived are still alive, man.

Enjoy whatever happens!
