2 new demos on my profile for your comments on the mixes.

(Sorry Jahva, don't have the lyrics typed up at this point)

After a few listens I think "Once in a while" has more potential of the two. I especially like the "When we're together again part... and the mandolin that follows it. Some of the progression reminds me of one of my songs I've not been able to finish. Nonetheless it's the better of the two.
Working on your third release... are you?

Thanks for listening. Yes, songs for album #3!
OIAW is the oldest song - actually dates back 40 years ago. And the 'mandolin' is actually a 12-string played up high and mic-ed. The original version of this that I had recorded (first song ever using a computer/DAW had mondolin, but my Washburn is such a POS, its impossible to get a consistent good tone loud enough to record.

Really too bad your two far out to sit in with Eric and I on our side project.

Some acoustic arrangements of previous songs, some totally new material.

The one Eric and I are working on right now is a three movement piece.
You'd love it!

I've got more than a half a dozen songs in the works right now, but it seems like the acoustic ones just come together so easy (for me) compared to the electric ones, that I've let the electric songs gather dust.
