Ray,

Thanks for reading and for your comment.

Am glad the repetition and "hyperbole" didn't bother you.

Far from it. In the context of the song I liked
them; I thought they were used well.

Repetition, in fact, is a technique that's basic to poetry,
that I like, and that I use often.  PigPen has quite a few
people that aren't that big on repetition. Can't blame them,
I used to be that way myself.)  

On appleweed: I guess what they say about great minds...
But your great mind was a faster.

I went over to your site and listened to a few tracks.
I especially liked "The Last Day of April, April..."

(Good audio quality, by the way.)

Off-topic audio stuff:

I couldn't help noticing the quality of the recording.
Maybe that's normal these days?

A long while back, I did audio work. Quite different though.
I worked at a radio station and mostly recorded interviews
and news events; lugged around Nagras and Stellavoxes.
Every once in a while I recorded demos for friends who had
bands and no recording equipment (or money).

I was good at extremely fast editing as most times we
were on deadline for a news show. Back then it involved
cutting 1/4" audio tape with a razor blade and splicing
it back together with tape.

I still do a bit of recording for my wife. She does pieces
for NPR. Her work mostly involves studios, but every once
in a while it requires some field work and I lend a hand.

I use a Sony D50 digital recorder, an Audio-Technica
mini-shotgun mic and some Bose noise canceling headphones.
Really takes me back, love it!
