My response to his generous comments:
******************************************

Got to wake up this morning to a mighty fine review from Black Pepper Sea. No real disagreement with what what said and I think there are some good things I can use in there.

Couple general notes:

BIAB: My goal was zero BIAB this year (ha, ha), but then I realized that I had frittered the year away and had not learned how to play drums and/or bass. Bass I thought I could "wing" (I hope no bass players read this), but drums looked a little tough! Once I let the BIAB drummer in, the rest of his friends crashed the party! Of course, it is possible to make BIAB sound "un-canned", but it takes work, too.

Here: Yea, I sort of fast forwarded to 2011, where my goal (as of today) is to be a 100% sideman on 10-12 songs of others, and then include those 10-12 songs as my CD. It's an odd idea, but you gotta keep things new. So including this one as is didn't seem weird to me. I'll be writing as many lyrics as I can for FAWM at the same time. Since my goal was no-BIAB this year, we see how good I am at sticking to a plan.

Harmonies: You should have heard them before I fixed them!!

Lyrics: I try as hard as I can to write good lyrics -- dang, it's tough!

Thanks for the excellent and well thought-out review!!
