I thought I had commented on this one already, as I know I listened to it before.

This is just so out there, yet right here at the same time. Love that keyboard outro too.

I would like to play with you guys on a tune sometime, but I am not that good compared to y'all! These boys can play.


Ed: nice use of Am!

Starise- Thank you... glad you enjoyed it.

- Good to see you back here, and I'm gonna' figure you liked it.

Mark- Thanks for the listen and comment.  The kudos go to Ed for both the bass and the drums.

James- You're on, man... any time.  I can't think of a comment that would make me feel better than this one, especially coming from you.  Check your inbox...I sent you a PM.

Well this is nothing but GOOD. I think everyone over the age of 50 can relate very well, laff. I have meds for my meds! I have never understood (well actually I do) why pharmacutical companies direct market to the end user... the late Bear Owsley had an essay on this that put forth the idea that all drug problems come from two things... government prohibition and advertising, and it makes a lot of sense. I love it when I get a med that has a list of possible side effects as long as my arm and of course sudden death is usually one of them. There have been meds that I have looked at and then told the Dr., "Are you crazy? I ain't takin' this".
I have also seen my life flash before my eyes... it happens just like a slot machine, just rolls by... top to bottom (of course it could have had something to do with 16 purple microdots)... life flashed by and in 15 minutes I went form flying to straight... weirdness, stay away from that 5hit.
 
Yeah, your song got me thinking... it is really good. You got everything right, even the tempo. What are you a professional?       
 
Really, nice work!!!!!!!!!! Relative to culture and well, just good. Reminds me a little of Sy Klopps Blues Band: Walter Ego. Consider this a rave review!!

Luke- Thank you very much.

Mark- Thanks for the kind words.

Julien- Many thanks for those very kind remarks.  Several years decades ago I was a 'pro' with a record deal and all that other nonsense.  Now I'm just an aging rocker having a good time writing and singing about whatever is on my mind.  I'll let Ed (Bapu) answer for himself.  Thanks again!

For some reason I just got around to listening to this.  I enjoyed this very much.  Seasonal songs have a place in my heart.

Ha, this was several logins ago for me?

I think it's gotten better. It's nice to have sweet/vintage instruments. My instruments are like my children, but they never dissapoint? I must admit, I don't hear a mandolin? (and I play the mandolin? It's a cool instrument)

This has a Led Zep "Houses of the holy" vibe to it with the strings in places, but then it switches up. The snare is maybe a little too agressive in spots, but I'm listening on buds, so slight mix comments should be taken with salt (like a Margarita?)

Like the slanky groove part. don't like it when it goes double time. don't like the doubled vocs. Maybe cause they're off. Maybe just pull the double back a bit.
Nice though. Those are just nits.
