Are we talking pubes again!!!???

I just got the CD in the mail today and I've only listened to part of it. The production quality leaves a lot to be desired, but the songs still come across plain and un-futzed with.

I listen to CDs and what used to be called 'folk radio' here. I've heard fairly well known (in the 'F' world) and respected artists sing crap songs I figure came about because the CD needed filling out and people are generally stupid (not so much) and won't notice if an artist writes a song in 15 minutes. I notice.

Dan's songs are sound simple but are more complicated than you'd think. The guitar arrangements are unpretentious and exquisite. Those two words pretty much sum up everything I've heard so far.

When it comes from a heart, that's what you hear it with. "Three wheel bikes and old brown dogs, the way it used to be"--I LOVE that line.

Thank you, Dan.
(Now, consider doing a studio album.)
