Fantastic. A great South African / Island feel, right off of Paul Simon's
Graceland album, which I love. So good. Man, the arrangement is so
good. Great performance, feel, writing. Straight 10s from me. So good.

I really appreciate the comment. I'll take any comparisons to Mr. Simon I can get! The first time I heard the opening of "Boy in the Bubble" was an epiphany for me. I went headfirst into African music and haven't ever looked back!

Thanks a lot for your kind words. The horns were really the thing that took this song over the edge for me. The woman who wrote and played the horn lines is a good friend, who also happened to be the sax player in my old band back in Virginia.

Great song with a great feel. Love the mood and energy it creates - especially when juxtaposed with the serious topic of the lyrics.

I am so glad I found your page. Your music has taken my ears for a trip they haven't been on since I last listened to Paul Simon. Anything else in this vein usually falls seriously short of the mark. This is shoulder to shoulder with anything Simon has done. You have a new fan.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm afraid I'm not the most sociable guy around here, and I forget to post stuff... I tend to sort of hole up in my studio and then forget to actually get my music out there...

I'll be putting up some new stuff over the next couple of weeks, though.

And I'll work at being a bit more active around here, it's a great site.
