That was really very good fd. You got a good voice and play well. Although if that's what you 'do' these days, I'd imagine you don't need me to tell you that huh!
Hey, -at the intro stage, I felt sure it was going to burst into "Horse with no name" by America. Anyone else think that?

Actually I thought it sounded like a slower tempo "I've done all the dumb things" by Paul Kelly. Nice job I should write a ballad about how I didn't get lucky.

Good value Kearn.
You should send it into Rage with a video clip. They usually play new and independent stuff in the early hours of the morning, but thats when all the amateur astronomers are coming in after a night out.

The ZZ Top boys have been a bit quiet for a while.
That would guarantee air play

Hi Kern 
That was a wonderful job, thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Aye.. it was an emotional comet for many of us, myself included, I even ended up by making a tribute video posted here on the forum. It's terrific that you have put this wonderful memory into a song.

havent had internets for a week,... was bowled over to read your post Terry, you have made my day/week/month/year! hoped you would like it, tried to quickly distill essence of mine and also collective experience and write it while still in peak of natural 'high' that rare and special events like this induce in us all.. was well worth coming out of 'retirement' for!
thanks again!
