Just another singer/songwriter. I play all my own instruments (except drums) and record on a Boss BR1200CD standalone multi-track recorder
Just an old Back To The Land hippie that stuck to his plan.

My friend Charlie, this so so nice!!! Couldn´t imagine you singing and swinging a classy jazz tune, but, I have to admit this one is really cool!!! :D Great arrangement, drums and bass-walk gently accompaining the melody: your vocal is perfectly fitting the swing, guitar lead smooth and jazzy.... hey what a surprise for me to discover this new "face" of your music talent! :D Well done Charlie!!!!

Nice jazzy backing. Something different from you and it suits you well! You really embrace the swinging sounds vocally and the whole piece is a swinging treat and shows that you really get inspired by trying out different genres!

Very nice diversity of music on your page Charlie. Great vocals to a very jazzy track. Great lyrics - very cool walking bass, jazzy guitar & piano work. It never changes: "storm weary city folks in the northeastern US" same today as was in 2011. Very nice Charlie!

This is great Pine. Gettin a little jazzy in you're old age:) I sometimes long for boots and gloves and winter. The sun and sand ain't all it's cracked up to be. Just somethin you ain't got at the moment. Enjoyed.

P.S. to my previous comment...Listening to the song, it really felt like I was listening to a live recording with a few musicians...well done.

A nice easy vibe and I like the clever melodic musical touches going on in the background, swings along with a lazy feel and a lot of imagery in the lyrics, this one is catchy & it's good to hear you sing again Pine.

This is a really cool tune Charlie, got a little blues and jazz to it, sounding great in every way, beautifully done. You know, you're one guy that keeps improving with every piece you create, that means a lot. Keep up the great works. This is one of my most favourite songs of yours.
