I like it! It's great to see you posting. It's a shame real life takes away time for playing. I hope you get back to it soon. I've always enjoyed your stuff.

Nice Wayne!  I am a big fan of what you do.  Keep em coming when you can for in the music you make you can give words to the feelings of others.  Great Job!

Find a Path or Make One    This is a motto I have been following my entire life and one I am currently using with my music.

Re: "I Don't Wanna Meet the Devil"

Great lyrics and a really good song.

I like the descending chord progression in your intro. I think it would be great if you could use it somewhere else. Just a thought, the word "devil" is associated with hell, which is thought of as beneath us, as opposed to heaven up above. Your descending chord progression could help to portray this.

I like it.  A lot.  It's got an old country feel to it.
