Hi Matt, It was nice to hear your song on bishopfm last night. I asked Terry to play that for my husband Jeff because as soon as Jeff heard it played on your cd, he related to it right away. He is always working and it just seems to go backward instead of ahead these days. Anyway, I am sure hoping to hear more of your songs being played across the pond.
I hope you are having happy and healthy days! Smiles to you, JoAnne

Matt! I was just looking at your name. The Duet CD is at the manufacturer and I was printing labels so I can get a headstart on packaging (feb 1st or so). Your name was near the top of the chronological list.
Nerissa's Journey? Thanks!!! I wrote that at song school in Lyons in a hour while sitting in the river (on a chair)
The middle chord is a C/6/9. I play it x32233. The next one is a D7 with a double lift off using your pinky. 3-2-0. I think my guitar might be tuned down for that recording. maybe a step or half-step. Can't remember.
Any time!

i'll be bringing my keys... if you get a chance, i would love your feedback on my new rough cut tune (my habit) on my page.... it seems so long since i've written! trying to do a more bluesy album in 09...

peace and music to you...
