album coverJIM SMART: Seven Fathoms

His string tinged rock music lets your brain wander the fine line balance between the pain of old timey musicals and the foolish pleasures of acoustic punk rock, with power pop nods to artists like the Kinks, the Decemberists, Wilco, and Nick Drake.

You write so well. ..like  a poet, but then I suppose musical lyrics are poems.  I'm sure Fred identifies with your songs.    The two of you are very talented  creatures.  Wish I had some of your talents.

The variety of the musical sounds (slide guitar was a treat and of course I love the touch of Pink) are delightful and a joy to listen to.  Your words are very good and moving.

Hey Bob van gogh stripes on the water tonight.

I'll talk to you later and be who you need me to be.

They're waiting there for me many miles away

out here your Hummer's out of gas, cell phone doesn't work, money is no good.

Uncle Fred is perfect. .I'm sure he's proud to have you pay tribute to him.
Big Bad World. great lyrics, great sound.  And Sierra throughout the music is a perfect touch. .marvelous giggles. .can't wait to see her again.  

This. .waiting for the sunshine is a good thing. .drowning in it is to be alive.  You write so well. like a poet. I'm sure Fred identifies with your songs.  

Needless to say, I'm enchanted with your new CD.  You came from me and grew up so fine and now you continue to create the most beautiful music. .and family. ..G'ma Pat and G'pa Bill would be so proud of you . .especially G'pa cause he was the creative one doing his engineering work and raising a family but always enjoying his music (violin & piano) and his drawing and writing. ..I'm so proud of you and my brother Fred.

See you soon. . my lovely child so long ago has made me proud.

love Mom  ...... Just musings flowing from my brain and sent without editing. ..that's a good thing...
