During the song circle at the TASS I thought of our good fortune in finding my grandparents house in Old Cumnock and how the current owners, Billy and Anna had been so nice, inviting us in for cake and tea then whiskey and beer...

and the night we spent with them on the town. In the taxi, on the way back to the hotel, I told them that our day together was the highlight of our trip, and it was..

back in LA, on the freeway I slip in a CD..

Find me sitting at this table
with my friend Finn and my friend John
ol' friend Danny tells a story
of things long gone, long gone
and we may take a glass together
'cause whiskey makes it all so clear
fires our dulled imaginations
and it feels so near, so near


It feels so near
to the howling of the wind
feels so near
to the crashing of the waves
feels so nesr
to the flowers in the field
feels so near.....
