Pete, I just wish I knew you a long time ago. You are a true artist and a good dude. Like finding Steve Poltz a few years ago, I'm just glad I found you now. I will follow along and hope to see you somewhere out here on the road, cuz Kripes all Katie, times are fading fast. You are a gentle man...I just know it!

I always love a road song, and this one is near perfect. I can pretty easily imagine drifting down the highway with the playing. Thank you!

This is a great song. Lyrically, your restraint and focus and ease is such a great juxtaposition to the topic, which is heavy, but almost made comforting with the bright playing. I can really sit back with this one, and see where youre at. Thats pretty special these days.

Love the insights. Delightful to read them. Love that video too! Looks like two shots out of focus one of them upside down from the window of a car. Fun to watch the shapes shift and dig the tune. Well done buddy.

Thanks Pete! Was just working on a piece this morning dealing with similar theme, put it down, smiled, and moved on. It's good to get older. '95 doesn't seem that long ago. It's good to get old and watch these terms like "dropped" find new usage. But the long distance payphone can stay in '95. Ha. Enjoyed this. Be well!
