Talking in your Sleep and Lost Children really stand out but no clunkers here

are you playing the keyboard in the interesting DYMK arrangement?

i don't really like Cotton Jenny no matters who does it...SFAWN seems like it might be more in the pocket down a few bpm...nice photo, interesting pick guard placement...are you left handed, left footed?

hats off to the producer...hope this is the first of many trips to the studio
Hi JJ,
Thanks for the great feedback! You sound like a fellow musician especially with that bpm thought.
Yeah, I did play the piano on DYMK although you can probably tell I'm not really a piano player. It was fun making up that intro, outro and arrangement but trying to play it became grueling. I thought the album needed some piano to balance out all the acoustic guitar on it so I plodded thru it.

The engineer/coproducer, Glenn Taylor has very big ears and we were very musically sympatico thru the whole project. He works with Tommy James (remember him?) and Adina Chastine (another unknown indie artist on CDBaby)
I went for Cotton Jenny to add a little country flavor to the stew.
Gord's catalog is amazing, isn't it?
Thanks again,

Tom (Wheels)
