I DLed this earlier and haven't stopped playing it. Absolutely fantastic, all round.

Loons, or "divers" as we call them in the UK, are rare and beautiful birds with a haunting cry, once heard, never forgotten. Just like this music in fact. Hauntingly beautiful.

Nice one Mark.

Very, very nice, Mark.

Made me think of living in Minnesota; lots of loons on the lakes there.

Thanks for the callout Stu, spent a lot of time on this one, never seem to come out right when I was mixing it and I had a hellofa time getting the loons to sing in tune. :)

Makes it really worth the time when you guys like.

This is so good to hear slumbs, I was going for the effect loons had on me, calming and making me feel good.


Thanks everybody.

Here's some more info on this amazing bird

Mark - this brings back a lot of memories for me... many late nights
after a show, me and the guys in the band just sitting around, too tired
to pack up, too wired to stop. this is exactly the kind of stuff we would
jam on deep into the latenight hours.

thanks for taking me back 20 years. this was a wonderful treat!

Hey Boris your welcome, I wasn't in a band back then but I had a few of those long jam nights. Wish we had GarageBand back then, it would be cool to hear some of those tunes now.

Superb playing all round. Laid back and deeply bluesy. Oh so GOOD.
