angels the concertina adds a subtle backdrop - those two notes really play their part well.I really like the long sweeping notes in the background though.Your voice really reminds me of jim morrison but I'm sure i've told you that before.Beautiful song! rg Check out my latest song called Tiger Flame (Halloween Challenge)

Wow! that's surprising! I don't really like my voice all that much on this. I am a little rusty with the singing thing and need to work on it. I actually have two takes of my vocal on this, one that was take 1 and that's sort of soft with a lot of echo and take 2 which was a little better and is the main vocal. But I didn't want to overwork this simple little song so I just posted what I had after spending a morning and an evening on it. This was recorded in a session with "On Top of Old Smokey" which will be posted next. Check out my latest song called Weather or Not w/awigze

Whatever it is that... ...takes on that intensity in the background as the tune begins to draw to a close and then at the end...it's very effective... ...I love this tune, too, Jim. Very nicely done... Check out my latest song called Outside the Corral

That's a synth sound And somewhere I found a suite of free plugins and the one I use here is called Spectral DroneMaker and at times it sounds like that Tibetan throat singing, but I'm just playing a few notes on the keyboard. Sort of a cool effect, I guess, but I wanted it to build and I guess it worked! Now if the singing was only a bit better! LOL Check out my latest song called Weather or Not w/awigze

Great song well performed Great song well performed. I'm with Birdman here. Dig your voice like this. It sounds r e a l. Though it is the first time I hear it I can understand that it is a song that you can dig for a very long time. Who made it by the way? Check out my latest song called Guitar test — Martin CSN (Gerry Tolman Tribute)

Who made it? This song was born in the mountains, it's so old. There's a great Pete Seeger version, of course, but I probably first heard the Kingston Trio or The Limelighters singing this. Thanks for the kind words! Check out my latest song called Weather or Not w/awigze

and here's a link: And for anyone that is inclined to pick up the great Pete Seeger version of this (he plays the banjo on it) you could get it here: http://www.emusic.com/album/Pete-Seeger-American-Favorite-Ballads-Vol-1-MP3-Download/10910022.html I love Pete Seeger, he's genius!

Restrained playing and singing here Jim. I love the sound of your productions - lots of detail and clarity, but still with good presence (of a gentle kind). Can't beat mandolin and concertina to set the mood. Very enjoyable.\Neil Check out my latest song called Lost In Translation (w Mike Watkins)

Ooh, cute mando, and it sounds as good as it looks.
Your voice perfectly suits the chilled out but slightly melancholy groove you've created here. You sing it like your heart is truly in it, which is always a good thing in my book! I like the way the sweetness of the song morphs into that unsettling ending too.
The concertina's presence certainly adds something to the song, even if it's subtle.
