Hi All, Here's a new song - this is called FALLOUT RADIO. I was somewhere north of Scranton Heard the Lawdy, Lawdy Blues Miss Ida Cox was coming down So I put the car on steady cruise I was heading for the New York line And the sky was bending low All these songs playing soft tonight On the fallout radio I see the lights of old Elmira Coming in off Route 86 The music still surrounds me I see this town has hit the skids I saw a street angel in the darkness And the rain was falling slow She was zoned out and tuned in On the fallout radio Don’t know where the music came from Don’t know how it found my dial Like a shot from a cosmic cannon And it rolled on for 100 miles On the fallout radio On the fallout radio On the fallout radio On the fallout radio On the fallout radio BIAB Tracks: 2877: Bass, Acoustic, AmericanaSlow16ths 060 0368: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming 065 3101: Piano, ElectricVintage, Rhythm Ev16 060 2666: Pedal Steel, Rhythm LushChordsSlow 075 Loop: Chillout/Chillout-dimensions_145_a_minor Drums: AmericanaRoots16th^01-a:Toms, b:Snare As always - thanks for listening!

Great song Bob! You always write such fabulous imagery, it's like being able to listen to a painting. I also really liked your use of the pedal steel and chill[out dimensions. Top notch.

Hey Bob, we've come to expect great story telling from a great story teller and this is great. I like the minimalist Americana band you put together, sometimes less is more. I'm glad this one found "my dial" 
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2025 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Bob, I don't know how you turn these out so fast.
Your lyrics remind me of John Prine's.
Really interesting stuff.

Another great tune, Bob! Very evocative both lyrically and musically. Creative use of the steel and loop to build the mood. Super vocals, too!

Bob...super track...I love it when the bass rolls in and the layering you do from that point on...the pedal steel instrumental is haunting and so cool...as usual your lyrics and their cadence capture my attention and draw me into the story...you are a master story-teller...this was very nice indeed!

Cool song. Really well done.... Loved those lyrics.

Interesting storyline lyrics as always, plus it's fine choice of instrumentation.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Bob,
Your ability to consistently turn out gravitating tunes like this is so admirable . . . You execute so well, time after time. Great imagery in those lyrics, with all the details that make a great lyric. Stellar production. Excellent!

For some reason this reminds me of the Cowboy Junkies...Trinity stuff.
The swelling fills, the gentle pace, the travelogue love lost narrative merge to make a very, very cool song.
Cheers
