JEFF IS BACK!!! :cheer: :cheer: And in a very BIG way!!
Loved it, Loved it!! I think Tweedy & Bragg should just write songs for you, Dude!
(Urrr, I guess this was Woody G's stuff though wasn't it? Well him too if, he was still around.)
If I did one good thing @ T.G. it was to help turn you onto these guys.
The nuances you add to these songs is remarkable. A lot has been said about your hybrid technique...and rightly
so. I have never seen a better one. How, you get those treble string to ring out so clear is beyond me!
Your voice was killer once again. And you just did a whale of a job.
Anything else in the works...off of this album or Mermaid I ?
Gosh I hope so...
Still thinking about putting up California Stars or Son Volt's Windfall but I don't wanna butcher 'em.
(That's sacred stuff ya know?)
Good to see you again, Man!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Nice playing Jeff. Great control. Good audio quality. I see 2 mikes. How much crossover is there with them? What I mean is how much of the guitar is picked up with the vocal mike and how much of the vocals are licked up with the guitar mike? To my ears I hear a slight stereo effect. Very nice.

You know how to tell a story and your picking technique is also amazing, something to achieve.
Thanks for sharing,

Hey Jeff …
Great song, one with which I’m not familiar. You did a great job with this on all levels. Your playing and singing are fantastic. The sound quality is amazing considering it’s coming through via YouTube. The arrangement is super and it’s a very tight performance. I’d definitely toss a few coins in your guitar case … That was a real pleasure to listen to Jeff, thanks for sharing.

Jeff that is awesome mate. Really, really professionally done. Great playing, singing and great sound quality also. Have you got those lyrics down to memory? Were you reading them? Either way it doesn't matter at all, but it's a long tune and I am curious if you know the lyrics off by heart, if so that's even more impressive.
