Yes, thar year...from around August 2000 to July 2001,...seeing all the shows, they just kept getting more insane. The CD release party at The Casbah that July was my favorite besides this one. I think we went through 3 different drummers through that period, as well. If we had been able to keep one,...it could have been even crazier. But, having to keep stopping, going back to square 1. Makes you realize how important drummers are.

Thank you, for stopping by and listening. I really do appreciate it.

I'm deeply sorry, for your loss. I don't ever think we get over those we truly love having in our life, those that make our life special, and worth living. Of all people, Billy Bob Thornton has a video, where he talks about losing his brother, and how he has learned a lot from it. I cannot do it justice, what he says, so I encourage you to look it up. It made more sense to me, than 99% of the advice I've gotten from others, about how to get through each day. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am glad the video and music resonates with you. Now that I'm older, that is why I play/write music now. To hopefully make someone else feel that there is someone else, that knows...

@@Zemo72 Thank you. I’m sorry you are able to understand the pain. I wish that on almost no one.

Thank you,...for just listening. I'm also very grateful for your comment. It comforting, to know that the piece resonates with others. When I was younger , I wrote music, for me, and me alone. Although not my intent during the composing, I do hope, when I publish it, that others may receive it, and something makes a connection. I almost think the simplicity of it, has made the notes mean more, in reading the emails, and comments on this track. Thank you, once again. I appreciate you.

Thank you, for taking the time to listen to it. It's just a plain, C chord.. one night, long ago, I'd lost a friend, and although I sat down to try to write something more,...complex, I was still in the shock, that they were gone. And although my mind couldn't wrap around the concept of writing anything,..I just played the 3 notes, over and over, waiting for something to come. Must've played thec3 notes so many times, that it got stuck in my head. Carried it around for years. My ongoing health problems took a drastic dive this year, and just wondering how things are going to turn out, or if they do,...this just kept coming to mind. But, thank you for listening. I do appreciate it, very, very much. Music is life.

Because of so many things, but mainly, because I absolutely cannot sing. The only reason I even started performing this, in an acoustic trio, back in 05, was the main vocalist wanted a break, so the other guitarist and I picked a couple of songs to fill in, while that happened. And I was always the one who would try to convince the others, if we did cover songs, let's rework it, into a version no one else has tried. (I still don't think there's another finger-picked, acoustic version of this, with a Spanish guitar lead out there, but there might be a good reason, lol) 2. After I started back playing, from an 8 year hiatus brought on, because I had a complete mental breakdown in 2012, and walked away from every friend I had, I had to teach myself how to record, and this happened to be the first song I completed, because of not having anyone to sing any other track, I picked this one, to try to learn as I went. I had no idea what I was doing, (as it clearly shows) Halloween was in a week, and I thought, 'Hey, this would be a good song, to re-emerge in the scene, since so many ppl locally had seen me perform it live. But, I greatly overestimated how many ppl even gave a damn, that I was playing again. I've thought about trying to re-record it, as I still believe it's a cool version of the song. But, in the past 3 years, I've learned that trying to do everything yourself, is a non stop shell game of, "where do I focus my time and energy?" And, FYI, hearing the vocal track by itself, with no music, is at least 10x worse. I listened to it a few months back and it made me sick to my stomach, that at one point, I thought that was acceptable. I thought that after I quit doing drugs, my judgement would be better. Clearly that hasn't been the case. I do thank you for your honest feedback, though. I'd rather hear honesty, instead of being told, "that's awesome," when they clearly don't mean it..

Why would I send a nuke to your house? lol

Thank you ! I truly appreciate you taking the time, to check this video out. I actually have a full scale video for this song, and a new track, coming out tomorrow!

Me too, bro...Didn't realize we were literally in the best times of our lives. You wake up one day, and realize that you watched all of those years just go by.

Thanks bro. I always tried to make sure I had a copy of whatever video was shot. But, I know I missed a lot. I knew that one day, there would be some way to be ableto share it for all to see. I just never imagined it would be youtube. And, then tracking down a good vcr, buying the converter, and taking the hours to switch it to digital, and editing it, to clean it up. I just hope that when I'm gone, it is still up.

I loved the 10k Flames stuff. It was as close to my idea band, that I ever got to. The straight up rock and roll, raising hell, and all the debauchery that came with it. Biggest mistake of my life was leaving, an I'll never let myself live it down. I'm wanting to eventually put up a video for each song on the album when I get time. Been working on one for "Unfaithful' for about a month.

I believe you were were!

I love the company. Those are the nicest people, as well. I went to all of the local music stores, trying to get them to stock W&W, but I don't believe they have. It's the only strap company that makes me want to go out and buy another guitar, so I have a reason to buy another strap.

Thanks bro,... I really appreciate it. I literally just sat here, and realized that this video is essentially the sequel, or part 2, to the theme in the 'Nevermind The Freaks' video. Where that original Nevermind video was the acknowledgement and introduction to the different sides/faces of myself, this one is kind of looking at the fallout/result of living in that mental state, for so many years. I remember first coming up with the chorus, sitting in the waiting room of a suboxone clinic in 2010. I realized that my life, as many others, were just in a series of waiting periods, waiting to get whatever chemical at the time, to make us, not feel how we were feeling.

Thanks you sir. Can't believe I am just now seeing this

Thanks man. I've tried to establish a home for all of the band members I was lucky enough to hang out with

Thanks man! We need to catch up, soon!

That's awesome. Where do you wrestle out of?

@@Zemo72 I'll be at happy valley high school Nov 19

@@jamesbrewer2570 ok, well, feel free to use whatever one you want. They're all on Spotify, or if you need a digital copy, I can probably email you one

@@Zemo72 ty so much wish I had music with you and coop from nashville sound you do know who this

Yeah, it really was. Besides dad and his troll of a girlfriend, it was one of, if not the best trips I've ever had to the beach. Not to mention one of the last.

Thanks, man. He was an awesome guy, great singer, and loyal friend. We had so many good times, over 13 years, I just feel like it's my duty to keep his memories alive.

Thanks, man. Being the first year that it fell on a Sunday, since he passed in 2005, almost felt like I was reliving it, minute by minute. Doing this was the only way I knew how to deal, without self-destructive measures

The best, and worst of times. Those years, felt like a whirlwind that couldn't be stopped, but once it did, it was a completely different world, than what I expected...

Thank you! I am really starting out, after being a performing musician, all my life, trying to get into doing music for sync licensing.
