Final Closing Thoughts on 630. Next time I agree to host, I must check to see if any birthday parties, friend's concerts and celebratory meet ups of the old gang to greet the spring are scheduled!
Wendy brings us five more songs performed in the Magical Land of Oz with her tight backing band. I particularly liked "Rainbow Blues" and "White Room".
Brian Fergus brings us a spirited take on the Beatles Classic "Two of Us" - I love that Asbury Bass.
Wim does a great job of making the Boss' "My Hometown" his own. You really brought out the desperation in those later verses, Wim.
Mark C. Brought us a song I was hoping to hear this season. I really identified with this song back when I was a semi-pro folk singer.
Chris, Arvin and Marin brought my Sunday evening to a close with this fabulous collaboration. Everything from her splendid vocal through the great arrangement to the video cuts was just perfect. I loved this you guys!
Mitch dons his hobo persona and does a great take on Woody's "I ain't got no home in this world anymore!"
Jim takes us to his Tennessee Mountain home and gives us a slice of life down there. Fine picking too!
Chris brings a lovely melancholy feel to his cover of Adele's "Hometown Glory"
First time he's released a recording with his Uke Bass - and it's fine. Looking forward to hearing it again.
Ralph makes "Closing Time" his own in a spirited rendition. That I thought was going to be the perfect end to the season.
However, Sabine, had other ideas and brought two tracks for our delight and delectation as an encore and farewell to the Home Season. The second one was a super draft of a song that is going to be really great when it is finished. because it's already fine now.
Thanks to you all for submitting songs. I enjoyed every one of them. I am glad I wasn't offering a prize this week, because it would have been a bummer deciding on a winner.
On to Season 631 where we get to "Bless the Weather" - I really hope one of you does a version of that!
