Hi Marty.
I'm pleased to hear that you are out of hospital.
This song is a great trip down memory lane.
Those 'good ol' days' seem to get better as the years grow.
I love how you've captured the nostalgia of less complicated times.
Great imagery.
Kudos to Bill, too for his contributions!
--Noel

BRNO Arri, thanks. You're so right about the banjo being the perfect fit, but I already had a uke. My original intent was to use many of the RTs BiaB supplies from all over the world, but the song lost its flavor.
Hey, Torrey, you are often in my thoughts as well. The idea for the harmony is the first chorus is sung by the band playing outdoors in the neighborhood. Then each succeeding chorus had more neighbors singing along --some of whom had no sense of timing.
Thanks, Vic. Hey, we have that in common too. I grew up in coal country, but fortunately we lived "out in the countrty" where the air was cleaner. Glad you moved to the country to save your lungs. You put them to good use inyour songs.
Thanks for all, Chay. Haha, I am older than you are naw-nuh-nah-na-nah-naw. Turn 75 next month. My brother, who is one year older, and I are shattering the old Straub-male record of 67.
Thanks, Audio Track, Never learned your name, but I learned to appreciate your comments. We had an ice-cream truck, a milk truck, and once a week the ragman blowing his hand-held horn around the neighborhood in his homemade "truck." But our roads were usually pretty muddy, so the egg-lady used a horse-drawn cart to deliver her goods every day. Yeah, I'm old, but that's what I think of when you say "truck-load of nostalgia."
Thanks, Brain. There is also hope in there that everything can be better again.
You're right, Tom. Dinosaurs never became extinct; they just morphed into old-timers like us. Yeah, I wanted it to be a simple song that the whole neighborhood could sing and play.

This is one of the best songs on your new album  I really enjoy the positive feel and how the melody is so catchy that the song has been playing in my head many times after waking up or when walking outdoors. "Sheets back then smelled of nature's charm/and dreams could reach the sky" is very nice description of the past. And "Neighbors helping neighbors like one big family." that's what is missing these times where money and deals define relationships instead of the sense of belonging without calculations. Bill and your bass sound great and together with the rest of the band (glad to hear also ukulele!) create a nice warm atmosphere where I love to spend my time. Your pleasant voice is a messenger from the past who tells how things were and how things could still be and hopefully keeps on delivering that message also in the years to come Janne

Marty, those are some great lyrics that paint a picture of the past. You know I am a huge fan of steel. Nicely produced and a fine listen.

HogTime Ralph, thanks for the well-wishes and your comment on the song. Yeah, I saw the name HogTime and knew right away we were neighbors.
Thank you, Mario. Your prayers are answered. Well, I feel like crap and can't sit in my studio for longer than a couple hours, but I have already lived a long, happy life. I'm just glad I lasted long enough to hear the stuff y'all do with this BiaB thing.
Thanks, Carl. I missed a couple Sundays, but I'm catching up. Thanks for your warm wishes.
Thanks, Noel. Those days are getting better; perhaps in spite of all else those memories keep a smile in our hearts. I'll pass on your kudos to Bill, too. Thanks.
Hi, Eric. You are surely welcome, and thank YOU. It means a lot to us that you liked it.
You're the best, Janne, my special far-away neighbor. I am so happy to think of you singing (even to yourself) as you walk through the woods. Trees and rocks understand. You're right about what's missing, the "one big family" part. We live way in the country. Not many neighbors, but they are all good ones, especially if there's a need to help one another. It would be cool to think that this message would be heard in the years to come, as you say. But right now you are one of 8 people who listen (other than our forum friends), and it's so cool for me to see the flag of Finland that represents my favorite listener on the stats page.
Thanks, Tom, I was really hoping you'd tune in. Thanks for listening and I'll mention you again to Bill.

That is a sweet nostalgia in both lyric and vocals.
Very good band (BiaB, Bill and you).
We share many of those same kind of memories and fortunately still have those kind of neighbors and a clothes line. 😊
Porch sitting was and is a favorite.
The video scenes reminded us of many small southern towns in our area.
Well done all around - from intro through outro.
The mix sounds good on the monitors and ear pods.
Enjoyed it!
J&B
Healing vibes to ya!

Marty,
Glad to hear you are out of the hospital and hopefully on the mend.
That's a wonderful environment.
I had a similar environment as I was a child.
I rememberI the neighbors often played with me.
The environment has completely changed now.
But it's not a difficult place to live.
Watching your video made me feel warm inside.
It reminded me of my childhood again.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Healing vibes to ya! Thanks, Janice & Bud. Healing vibes actually work. It would be scientificaly proven if there was money in it. Man, I knew you guys would know what this song is about. You live it. Marty,

Shigeki Adachi Hello, Shigeki. Thanks so much, and it makes me REAL happy you embrace your childhood like that. Many folks try to pretend it never happened, and there's actually some folks I know for whom it probably didn't. Thanks for all you do, sir. hehe

Hard to believe when we were kids backdoors to the house were never locked and cars in the driveway wide open. Never any issues..
Excellent vocal and lyric. Loved the backtrack. pedal steel and harmonies were a perfect add. Well done
