Nils, I really love "Funky Farm" Who is Dave the sax man? He's great!!

Paul, remember the days when myspace was the only large online music outlet we had? It must have been 06 or 07 that Dave ran into me there and one day I asked him if he wanted to collaborate just like you. I loved writing Funky Farm. It is something so different for me. I'm good at playing around with harmonies but not so strong in putting many notes in a melody, at least not many that make sense. Dave plays with Harrison Fjord, Northcoast Jazz Collective, Stone Pony Band and Stagepass in Cleveland, OH

Paul's comment prompted a listen. Pretty wicked phrasing/melodic structure on those guitar/sax lines.

Hi Penny. thanks for your nice comment. I apologize for the delay in getting back to you but living in two places at once does that to ya...

Hey, Nils and Peter! I feel like I can now say "I Know JACK"! I've been able to listen to your JACK The Blues songs---awesome! I will try to post on FB to spread the joy! Thanks for some great music in my head for the rest of the day. My favorite groove is Don't Run Away....but, I'm not sure what I like best...that bass line (WHAT?), the awesome guitar riffs or that HARP---I love me some harp. There's something about all your vocals (who's singing, Peter or Nils or both?) that takes me back to (ooops--dating myself here...) The Doors. but, they weren't as tough as you two!! Awesome!
