New Song
I can't remember how to put up a live link to this song - maybe one of you more tech-savvy people could do that for me. The song is called "In Heaven" and I recorded it a few weeks ago with Bob Elliott. I haven't been on the Pipeline for a while. Hope some of you remember me! Tom

yeah bob, you got a handle of the soul vibe, i like your style and your approach on the percussive side of things, very intuitive

And a little comment on that job thing. I met a fifth grade beginning teacher from Oakland the other day, and he told me that Oakland lays off all of its beginning teachers as a matter of course every year and then hires most of them back later. He got payed off and rehired twice so far. Not an uncommon practice. My district does similar stuff.

I might have cut back a bit too fiercely on the percussion in the first half. Might add a bit more high hat back in. I love the quiet rhythmic feel and how the bass skips the one beat in the first half of song. I love a whole lot of unique touches on this track. Who sounds like this? Check it out, folks.

Thanks Bryon, for doing that. And thank you, Stoneman, for your kind words. I'm glad to be back and curious to see what's been going on around here. I've been in kind of a funk since a close friend died and I lost my teaching job. But it's kind of a blessing in disguise, because now I have time once again for music in my life.
