Those places, where the loves so strong it pulls us along and the world seems like it's all worthwhile. Those places, in me and you, they’re gratitude in a living milieu.

    I don't know what "it" is my man, but you certainly have it. (I suspect "it" is a gift in wordcraft and an awareness of the world around you that keeps you up and strumming... if not up at night like me. I think you are one of the greatest things to happen with songwriting, let alone good old honest fold music. Woody would be proud I think... thanks for doing you. I can't wait to keep listening.

It was nice to be able to just step out of the tent and grab a handful to cut up and put in the soup.
