i will be happy to remix this again.....NOT! heheheheheh....we did what, 35 mixes of this? Anyway, it could have been a pain in ass, but each of Bob's suggestions worked great, leaving the song with a terrific forward motion, in my opinion. I would also die to have a voice like Bob's, so full and resonence and in tune. Bob writes great stuff, and plays wonderfully, and except for being a Yankee fan, he is a terrific human. I hope we can do some more together, my friend deep bows and a howdity-doo z |

Funny blues Love the John Prine style wit. Not enough funny blues out there. Light and wonderful playing. Loved it. |

great fun loved the guitar playing, from both of you... the fingerpicking kept the momentum, and Ziti's slide playing melted into all the little nooks and crannies, and fit perfectly... and did its classic "talking" at the end. Cute lyrics and ad-libs. I think the talking could have been slightly more free-form and expressive, forcing it strictly into meter made it lose some emotional/smirky punch that I think it could have had more of. It sounded more "recited" than heart-felt... but only a little, mostly it was very well done, and the overall song is delightful. I agree that it sounds like you two are playing right next to each other, nice! ttfn, Drakonis |

I absolutely love this. Great guitars - fun lyrics/effects - the vocals really remind me of Frank Zappa at his best. Obviously downloaded. Cheers Len |

If It Weren't For Bad Luck... ....I'd have no luck at all! This is great Bob! Love the story, the vocals and I just love that slide guitar. Terrific song. |

2 excellent guitar players aside from the fact that you are both as good as anybody out there... the intertainment value of this top notch... you're more t han a player Bob... this is great storyteller/humorist stuff... that will give a song legs long after it's genre is out of "Fashion".... but the first thing I notices in the opening moments of the song, were the guitar sonuds... Time to go buy a RodesNT3... it doesn't hurt that you're both pros, but those guitars sound fabulous.... |

Hope it was a Monday Wonderful playing, amusing lyric. Makes me wonder where all them talking blues from the 60's went. Looking at your scores, looks like someone doesn't like it, or maybe you (problem with saying/doing anything; you're bound to piss off someone). Cheers, Shaky |

another side I wasn't aware of this style in your make-up, what a pleasant suprise. It was funny, but I came to your song just after commenting to Dadai's response to my postings of Chris Smither tunes. After hearing this one, I immediately thought of his tune, "Let it go" from the "Train home" CD. It's a tune he wrote when he looked outside and found his car stolen. Check it out somtime. This tune shows me one of your other sides. Enjoyed very much. |

Mark's right... You sound like you're in the same room... Talk about some crisp bite from those strings... Quite the acoustic guitar feast in the headphones... You guys just need an upright bass and some dude playing a single snare drum...with brushes... Ed |

women n children first This feels like the first time I've responded to one of your tunes - hopefully not cos you keep appearing on mine and I try not to be introverted.Nice crisp recording - wish I could get mine this clear.Zitis playing overlay is panned smartly around the rhythm,but nicely mono'd out in the middle (mono'd is a technical term I just invented,hehe).Like that mad scrabbling attack someone has at one point.I dont hear too much rhythm in the vocals - they just seem to flow along - then again maybe I've got no rhythm.I always end up saying that certain songs would sound great in a road movie and thats cos I love road movies and they are mostly often set in the desert.We dont have the desert here,so I always imagine a desert setting specially when it comes to blues,and thats what I think of here.Long shadows,and dust and down n out.Ive just recorded a song about a down and out though he's more of a mythical character living in a caravan but its a favourite topic for sure.Interesting about the sailor and his inimatable knots - I've met a few characters having always lived by water.Great song - plan to listen to more of your stuff,regards RG. |

So great So great to hear such exquisite guitar work. And the fact that the lyrics are playful and well-delivered is icing on the cake. But the fine guitar work is really the shining star of this piece. I like the sense of space that you put between phrases now and then. Sometimes just for silence, sometimes to let youself overdub a solo line. Sometimes less is more, as you have shown here. No drums at all, but this is is a toe-tapper anyhow. Just great! |

Gobsmacked Just when I thought this forum was packed out with more talent than I can handle, I stumble on this. Virtuoso blues guitar, and great lyrics. God those are good lyrics. And with a voice like that too....damn. This is technically dazzling, too. Reminds me of Bob Brozman - someone who has got the technique so well buttoned that they can relax and have a whole load of fun. Fortunately I have now run out of words.... MacFerret |

Making Amends Nice back-porch strummer about a bad day/week/month/life. Very creative song-writing, and loved the pickin'. You wrote a dandy little tune here. Below is my favorite line in the lyrics - I think these 3 lines sum up and make the whole song. Well done! Cheers, Alan So I pick up some flowers (hope to make some amends). Trudge back to the fort where she gives %u2018em a sniff. A bee flies outta there...I%u2019m just a lucky ass stiff. |

Great Slide Love that slide guitar. Great song, had to come back for another listen. Well done! -- Alan |
as in Ziti...
I miss the info in the song notes.... Fran, kudos my man... as I said, some classic acoustic blues you got going there. Very tasty and on the mark.
