...well, craig "c-dub" wagner gets co/creator status as he sent me this drum loop which in and of itself had pearls of moodiness. always had these chords under my thumbs for some time but this loop really drug them out in a glorious way, i think.
...this tune has been on the machine for some time with the loop, acoustic guitars, and craig even stopped out so it was fitting to snag him on bass for this one...worked on it last night and added an organ part this AM and made the mix just a bit ago in a cooler than usual homespun room.
...get under phones for this one as it's oh so mellow. the acoustic slide lead mandolin part has it's own Shaker goodness as my pick guard on it was loose, just loved it's rattle and shake....or is it the crackle and drag?
sound as ever,

"pockets in the sky"
lets' empty this all out
no clues to it's whereabouts
let it all run dry
no torn pockets in the sky
some were told
the cracks could make it show or let it go
so watch it disappear, like the sun
a burnt out film career, another one and done
the harder that you squeeze, through fingers it will run
your dreams fall to their knees
