anxious excitement There is something in this piece that captures a bit of the racing of an anxious heart, then the slowing and enjoying familiar old surroundings... that is, it really seems to fit your description. And the "slow stroll" theme is gorgeous, and has a bit of some ancient folk tune we can't quite recall... it reminds me of something Johannes "Curry" would play as a slightly-updated ancient folk tune. I had almost forgotten the original, and re-read my first comment on this to you... interesting... whatever you did, I have no problem with the transitions now, very smooth and effortless. The beginnings notes start more smoothly, no bob-bles anywhere, this recording is beautiful. Gotta update my fave from the old one to this one! The Resophonic has an almost-banjo quality (the good qualities, not the bad ones :-). Super playing on this! ttfn, Drakonis |

For me this describes perfectly, the variations you speak of in that walk home..... kind of a painting in music. Great fingering and nice tones, regards M |

Like the mystery detective some spots were it goes to a stop etc. But all of it was fun to listen to. Plus the picture disappearing around the bend adds that musical mystery feel as well. Thanks for sharing and of course being such a great addition to MJ ! |

Sounds like that Dobro is singing to you Bob And I like the song it's singing. Excellent recording, and flawless playing. It doesn't get any better than this my friend. The guitar sound is awesome, and I imagine getting a good recording of it was no easy chore. But you did it and it works great. What mic and preamp did you use to get the recording, it sounds absolutely pristine ? Great job Bob. It really does paint the picture you describe in my mind. Be well and be cool, Ed |

Rather interesting piece A rather interesting piece. Great composition with a nice thematic idea. It has the content enough to carry the tune through. Very attractive. Only nitpick is one very easy to do something about: the guitar is out of tune. I'm not saying I always have the guitar in good tune .. sometimes it is just close to impossible to achieve a satisfying tuning .. but this one is a bit too far off. But, as mentioned, the basic qualities of the tune are in my ears really great! |

Very nice Finger picking at its best. The guitar has a nice tone. (It is slightly out of tune, which I kind of adjusted to, but a little distracting at the beginning.) Very lively recording. Excellent song writing, too. Some good hummable tunes, a few riffs and arpeggios, all placed right where they needed to be. Great listening! |

you had to say.... ......lions, tigers and bears. now i got that stuck in my head. great recording. I really like the melody here. it does reming in a way of '40's R&B swing feel. there's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home.... |

Very cool playing and intriguing composition.It sounds like you are using fingerpicks? The slight out of tuneness didn't bother me , makes it sound more bluesy.The harmonics at the end sound pretty in tune so maybe your intonation is a little off.Great song! |

that guitar sounds really good. i love the intro and how it's different from the main progression. I really like songs that start one way then take a turn. Your playing is so confident here and it seems you never come close to losing your groove. Would love to add some vocals to this |

A guitar clinic for those of us that aspire to have such touch and tone on the instrument. |

Many wonderful comments... ...above that are very much congratulatory, Bob...and well-deserved. My 2 cents is my fascination with the changes in meter and rhythm that keep infusing this number with all sorts of interest. It never gets tiring. You can really play that thing! Most impressive. Peace. Paul |

Great tune Bob You really give it a solid treatment on the Resi - powerful and assured without losing any of the delicacy and subtle timing. Just beautiful. I remember when you first posted the Woodbury's - this is so cool to hear in this form. |

A well-told story What the... this is so rich it sounds like a 12-strong resonator! Clean picking and I love that G-to-G piece among many other little hooks that grab my attention, measure by measure. Beautiful piece, beautifully played. Not too sweet, just right, lots of "footsteps" to get to the end point. |

Mr, Sir It sounds like what the title reads. Imagine..., there are as many routes to "home" as there are folks who travel them... But I'd be willing to bet that anyone of, a sound and peaceful mind would tend to hear that this route that you play and speak of, it is not at all unlike a part of, at minimal, some swatch of path in the journey to where most would like to have traveled. I mean, it does sound like your playing is reflecting a sense of contentment with the work that's been done to have taken you to this point in your travels. Contentment is, king, for me. But maybe i should just get outta my head and tell ya, thanks for sharing another wonderful piece of art, one that definitely satiates the particular appetite or mood that I seem to be in tonight. |
Feel like I ought to say something though, even though it's "broken record" remark from me, "hey Bob, I love your pickin' stuff".
Thanks for this.
