Thanks for listening Michael. I appreciate the feedback. You're very kind.
Thanks Digger. I have been listening to Keith's original instrumental pretty much daily as a way to forget my troubles for 3 minutes. But even though I got to know it pretty well, I had no idea what I was going to do to it. I watched Dave add the synthesizer, and I decided I'd do what he just did. I'd improvise.
The story came out as I listened, and I did one take. I was hearing it as I was telling it. It was pretty magical. I told Keith after I felt like Jim Morrison. Then I got worried he'd think I was on a bender. Haha. (I wasn't.)
I know this won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I really love it, mostly because I didn't know this much hope and light was in me. If I'd have taken the time to think about it and write it, he probably would've drowned, and the fish would have had his dinner. Haha.
