Wow, isn't it really really cool when someone states an opinion (not a refutable fact, but an irrefutable opinion), and other people like to jump on in and attack it? Like, for example, stating that those rating this song low are 'loons'. I mean, I like the color green, and I hope anyone liking yellow suffers from a debilitating brain anurism. But finally moving to the realm of the serious... I wish more people would simply share their opinions about the song/artist/album, good or bad, without attacking each other. LIKING or DISLIKING music is not a matter of intelligence or skill, it's a matter of taste. Now arguing about an artist's abilities may be debatable, but how their work affects each of us on an individual level can never rationally be struck down. Ciao, The Dude :? P.S. I think I'm gonna put this message everywhere I deem appropriate today. Call it my dopey little crusade against angry music lovers. Maybe if some people see this in several places, they'll get the point.

So this is what Country was supposed to be like...gosh, I like this. Not only has RP opened me up to new artists and songs, but to new genres (for me, at least). Good job, Bill.

This is deLIGHTful! 7 to start, and I hope I hear it again soon.

This song is just so...beautiful. I just love it when it kicks into the third verse...I feel sad and happy simultaneously, like I've lost something, but it was for the best.

That was a really cool Doves song...I think I prefer when they don't really sing.... 8.

Oh man, this is another one of those songs that fosters my illusion that high school might actually have been a good time of my life...

Yeah! Glad to see this is well received so far...this is my first upload that was added! Now if only it would play when I'm listening...

I saw him in concert at a club in Richmond a few years ago, and this man could freakin' retune to alternate tunings near instantly and with perfect accuracy in the middle of the song he was playing. He's the master of the Boomerang, and he plays many styles of guitar as if he invented them, be they blues, jazz, rock, what have you. Quite excellent.

Wow, this is a seriously long "Love" set today...Is it Bill and Rebecca's anniversary, or something? Or is Bill just in the mood for love?

I enjoy the original better, but the song itself is still here, and I enjoy that. I gave it a 7. The original would've gotten an 8 or 9.

This is a very pleasant song. Doesn't sound particularly distinct, but I still really enjoy it. 7.

Gosh, this is incredible. What a melody. And this version is SOOOO nice. I just bumped it from an 8 to a 9, particularly for the part where he sings an octave higher.

It always interest me that so many people compare Keaggy to Hedges - this song may be newer than Hedges' stuff (I don't know) but Keaggy has been around for MUCH longer than Hedges was. I love this song, though - it demonstrates another facet of Keaggy's sound. This guy's shredded on most styles of guitar playing across many genres. acatamongus wrote:

I can't work when music from this album is playing...it's too good.
