Definitely a timepiece but I really like it! It's reminiscent of Byrds or Neil Young stuff.

You have singlehandedly taken a miserable, repetitive song and rescued it, imbuing it with humor and interest. Well done sir. Well done.

This is amazing music - a refreshed, modern brass-band sound. I'd love to hear what you could do with some Sousa chestnuts!

Just wanted to say me, too - this is one of the small collection of MeFi music tracks I keep returning to. It's just beautiful and unusual. I'd be interested in purchasing, too, if you have a full CD!

Very nice! And no, it's certainly not too soon for those of us making party playlists or mixes for gifting. Thank you!

Well, reklus, then your experience of music and your experience of the holidays are clearly different from mine and my friends'. If you don't like holiday music, it will probably always be "too soon" for you, but not for me or many others. The world is full of a wonder of things! Have a great holiday season.

As a musician myself, I don't find that Christmas and Christmas music carry that kind of baggage for me. I stay out of retail stores as much as possible and am not bothered by commercialization - it's not a big part of my life. Sorry you find Christmas music so grating, but perhaps this isn't the place to have this discussion.

The "wah-wah-wah-wah-wah" could actually be sung using the words "and a checking account"

A lovely tribute to the world's pragmatists. Thanks.

I think so too. It's got a lot of Bob Dorough in it.

Magnificent job! I'm blown away by the female vocal, too - she sounds like early Joan Baez, only even better and sweeter. Great harmonizing.

This is absolutely beautiful - strong in every respect, touching, simple, fresh, and very well sung, played, and produced. Big thanks.

Fantastic, flap - it sets into a nice groove and cooks right along. Very evocative - calls to mind reflections and ripples. Thanks!

That is one fantastic, soulful voice you have there, Grace. I want to hear a lot more. This is excellent.
posted to MeFi Music by Miko at 6:29 PM on January 5, 2008

nice falsetto!

Flap knocks one out of the park once again. My music has a crush on your music! Awesome stuff. Can't wait to hear the full project.

Great panning -- that helps the effect so, so much. I also really appreciate hearing the floorboards creak.

Wow. Wow! Fighting the urge to pack up my guitar, scratch my name off the list, and quietly duck out of this big 'ol open mike.

No, really, great job - strong idea that a lot of people will enjoy.

If you wanted to do it up all crazy and cinematic-lilke, after getting a lot of sloppy handclaps down, some clinky-glass bar sounds and house chatter would really round out the scene...

Flap, this is FANtastic. It's so hard to bring new interpretation to a traditional song, and you succeeded admirably here. One of my favorites, as well.

So let my get this right, ynoxas -- you're saying, needs less cowbell?
posted to MeFi Music by Miko at 6:36 AM on February 2, 2007

Fantastic! Your production is excellent (not to mention playing and singing). I came back to ask what you were playing ...such a deep, rich sound with a bright hint of the bronze. Love it!
posted to MeFi Music by Miko at 10:50 AM on January 31, 2007

Truly terrific

This is great. Sounded like professionalism when I listened to it, too- no surprise to see the credits! Nice one!
posted to MeFi Music by Miko at 12:50 PM on August 25, 2006

You guys have a good thing going. Nicely put together! Has Nashville called yet? ;)
posted to MeFi Music by Miko at 12:50 PM on August 25, 2006

You guys completely rock.

What nice, smooth, rich, mellow picking and strumming!
posted to MeFi Music by Miko at 9:49 AM on August 25, 2006

With a grandpa like that, no wonder you've got such good taste in music! Awesome track, the real deal indeed. Thanks!
posted to MeFi Music by Miko at 9:23 AM on August 25, 2006

Very nice, great revival of a very good song!
posted to MeFi Music by Miko at 9:14 AM on August 25, 2006

This is really terrific stuff. The male vocal's excellent, the instrumentation clear and interesting. Very cool, glad you're posting here!
posted to MeFi Music by Miko at 8:28 AM on August 25, 2006

Hoooooly smokes. You bring this to an intensity and an authenticity that becomes a real surprise as the song goes on.

Lovely, cortex. Nice langorous guitar work!

it's about a girl. Isn't every song?

Well, a lot of mine are about boys. But I see what you're sayin'.

muddgirl: I want to, but I have trouble converting the files to mp3s. Eideteker sent me some instructions so I'll be giving it a try.

I haven't forgotten about mailing you that CD, by the way...it'll come...

A well done sad song.

I like mudpuppie, I like milk duds, and I like this song.

Great pacing, nice guitar work.
posted to MeFi Music by Miko at 8:57 AM on July 3, 2006

Your vocals are what do this -- they've got a real sincerity of feeling. Shades of Richard Thompson, too. Excellent work.
posted to MeFi Music by Miko at 8:34 AM on July 3, 2006

Terrific; the phrasing and time sig. are really attention-getting. Sweet.
posted to MeFi Music by Miko at 8:13 AM on July 3, 2006

This is fantastical. Can I record with you?
