We're long lost twins! :) Break Of Day is a terrific song Jim, your songwriting continues to inspire my friend! The video is also beautiful, but what really knocks me out is your use of your lower vocal register, a la Tom Waits, which is genius, as it's a great palette cleanser for the listener's ear. I fell into Keep the Radio On and also love this song's sunny feel juxtaposed with the melancholic lyric...this one I would have recognized as you, I like to think. The other thing we have in common is our love of dogs...your gorgeous greyhound made me laugh out loud at 1:38...that face! Thank so much for all your kind words Jim, let's keep our mutual admiration society going...no annual dues! :)
I can’t believe how much we have in common that I never knew … only kids of alkie cops who went on to be singers and writers and have to deal with dementia just to name a few. The good ship shit show ! Haha … love it. Great to read your writing. I just posted a hopeful new song and video on my Facebook page if you have a few minutes. Think you might like it. Cheers for now
Thank you for this Lori. So eloquent and heart-wrenching and hopeful.

It took awhile to circle back around to hopeful ;)
