I enjoyed that Mr. Harding and I like the new look.

Thanks for sharing that with us Russell!  I could just sit and listen to you dandle away on the acoustic all day.  Very nice smile

Re: Alive and well

That was cool.  Had kind of the vibe of Eric Clapton's version of "Malted Milk" from his Unplugged album.  I like the beard.

Dagnabit, I liked Charlie Wooster, too.  That type of chartacter was just funny.

Re: Alive and well

Russell, Good advice.  I think many songs have been created by the writer just noodling.
I know it works for me. The beard looks good partner.
