Your voice is well suited to this style.
A perfect group of tracks (and that wonderful bass, of course). Good mix.

Exquisite Harmonies.

a delightful listen.

THANK YOU, floyd! I might just get a new vanity plate: Folky Babu.

Thanks, Scott! I'm really diggin' so many comments saying it reminds them of...

HAHA! I'm sure you're quite capable, Leon. "Baby chords" reminds me of many guitar players after they learn the bar chord. Many years ago I bought a 1952 Electro-something from the widow of the player. I call it The Billy Stewart after the original owner. My guitar-playing friend said, "And it looks like he only played the baby chords."

This is a lovely song that reminds me of a pair of friends I have that have spent the last two years doing the "Grey Nomad" thing of travelling around Australia and seeing the sights while healthy & early in retirement.
Lovely song, wonderful feel, Janice is a wonder addition as expected. A band that serves the song - all in all a fabulous thing.
Yeah, I was reading about "VanLife Australia" when doing the research for this song. HA, research! Well, when I was curating the vidz anyway. This one is more about the Grey Nomads. Thank you, Ray.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Jan & Marty.
Lovely, carefree style song.
A lighter hearted "Further on up the road" perhaps.
Well produced and I like the way Janice follows you into the chorus.

Marty and Janice, you both did a fantastic job on this song.
Strong vocals and cool lyrics
Super mix
The caliper of music keeps getting higher and higher on this forum and you set a new high bar.
Loved it.

Merry Christmas

BTW: Two years back my brother and I took his RV and went to 13 states...I-80 from Illinois to San Fransico and then the northern trail back home through Oregon and Washington and all points in between...your song reminded me of the unforgettable time we had traveling this magnificent country...thanks!
WOW, thanks, Dan. Them're strong words there, fella. I'm really enjoying so many folks saying it reminds them of times they had on the road. Someday I'd like to see you down there.

Thank you, Greg. Simple strums and an easy harmonica makes you almost smell the campfire. Janice makes you glad you're there.

I'm glad I stopped in for a listen. I like this style of music.

I really liked this song. Easily one of my favorite songs from you. The music just had a peaceful feel, and the harmonies are spot on. In my early days, I was really into country and folk and this is right in that vein.

Nicely done by all!

Great duet, very balanced, voices and harmonicas in warm harmony. Although I cannot much relate to the story, my inner child would say that it's only unpacking and packing, but thanks for cultivating my soul with this pleasant folk tune smile No sevenths!?

Thanks Marty for inviting me in on this fun song. I had a ball singing around the campfire with you 😉 and thoroughly enjoyed the short story by Christina Baker Kline. Thanks also to all who mentioned my small part in this fine project.

Happy Trails & Merry Christmas Marty!

Hi Marty,

A lovely song and very nice harmonies!
Typically a song that brings me back to the 60ths and 70ths.
A lovely time...

I love that guitar and it's rhythm. The campfire is close by.
And we all sing along, 'cause we are the travellers...

Thanks, Herb. For some reason I thought of you when writing this one. Hope to see you down the road one day.

Janne
AH, Janne, that's your inner adult, I think. The inner child says, "Why pack anything? Let's just go!" Unfortunately the child of today would demand, "Hey, don't forget to pack my Nintendo Switch." There is an unwritten 7th just before the chorus. Can't go anywhere without packing at least one seventh.

Janice
Most definitely one of those times where someone says, "No. Thank YOU!" Janice, if I had the hutzpah, I'd have you in every song. So far, I hear we sold 4 of her books. She contacted me to say she loves the song, and is going to feature it in her newsletter next month.

Thanks, Hans. Next stop: a visit with God, or perhaps an impersonator. smile

Hi Marty!

This is superb listening.
The sound that you've assembled from these few realtracks is first class.
It's also very easy to hear that this genre sits so comfortably with you.
I love this 1970ish pop/folk sound and I was with you all the way.
I agree with floyd, this is an excellent and a really strong chorus.
Janice and you harmonised superbly. The live-performance feel was a perfect fit.
I also loved the cajon rhythms. They're really great for folk music.

All the best for Christmas and 2024.
--Noel
