Hi Scott, That flurry of chords, in the intro and before verses,almost has a prog rock feel! This feels like authentic folk story-telling, and it's all sweet. Your style, and "sound" are very enjoyable, yet I hope you are finding the getting there fun. Sometimes the way we work can become so second nature that we sleepwalk through it. I find that I sometimes throw a monkey wrench into how I work, just so I don't fall into the "sameness rut." This is lyrically up there with your best work, and I always enjoy your musicianship.  Mike Hey Mike: Thanks for the nice words. It's still hard for me to accept compliments on my musicianship because I still find it hard to think of myself as one. I probably only kept at playing because I realized that was the only way I was ever going to have my stuff be recorded.  I'm still having fun - don't feel like I'm in a rut. Since I just do this for fun, I'd probably just not record at all if I was. I like mixing it up but I tend to do it in blocks rather than song by song. I might be getting near the end of this particular block - we'll see what the muse has to say about it Thanks Mike - nice to see you around the mp3 forum again! Scott
