  • Ha.   Might be the best comment I've gotten.   But with a name like Howling...   well, your offspring may have that howling gene.

  • You sent my two week old monster to sleep, and i mean that in the best way....fancy a job lol?
  • Yeah, sir.  Thanks Thomas.  I do love this song.

  • It's all about the fun Uncle John. If ya ain't having fun you're just going through the motions. It always sounds good if you're having fun and that one sounds good to me!

  • Thank you, Furry.

    RTZ, thank you too and I will try to take your point to heart, I am too self critical. Some days I go down to the den and play and think I am pretty good and then some days, like yesterday, I think I suck. Best learn to just have fun and try to make music.

  • always great

  • Hack is what we do at a baseball. Give yourself some credit John these are friends commenting but they sure like what you do. Not easy to do MJH with 6 string. Few people could emulate what he did on a 3 string. 

  • Thanks, Ron and congrats on your album.   Will download it.  I enjoyed Bound For Glory several times and could watch it again.  

  • UJ,

    Great work! I just finished watching David Carridine in Bound For Glory, the Woodie Guthrie story. This reminds me a lot of what Carridine did to garner his Golden Globe nomination. You've got the honesty down. Your delivery resonates.
