Love the way you built it, Izzy.

Your words are like a shot of good whiskey, warming me from the inside out. Thanks for the laugh, it was absolutely needed.

"Balladville Blues," eh? Sounds like a place I'd happily spend a Friday night! And, as you are aware, Gerda does love a good blues. You know, sometimes I think she understands the pain of a lonely harmonica better than she understands my jokes. But hey, I'm working on it!

The piano break? Glad you enjoyed it. And the matchbox, suitcase, whisky... you know, you're painting a picture so vivid, I'm already mentally packing. Just need to find a blues-approved time machine so I can experience that quarter to three in the morning magic.

Thanks again for the awesome feedback, Marty. You've got a great ear, a good heart, and apparently a deep understanding of the human need for a little heartbreak and a whole lot of whiskey. Cheers to that! Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I hear Gerda calling... time for another lesson in "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." Wish me luck!
