    I graduated high school in 1997. One of my very best friends listened to this almost constantly. Over the years as I listened to this it always reminded me on how she was the one and I let her slip through my fingers. We reconnected last year after 25 years and have been together since. Even now as I listen to this it transports me to a time that I was completely in love with her and still am.

      Accountability and taking responsibility-on one’s own accord-is, in general, so rare because people are so worried about “looking bad”…Rick, you’re a class act in everything you embrace and take on, and you deserve all of the follows and accolades you receive.

      I highly doubt the counting Crows would demonetize the video. Adam duritz is all about getting music out to the public. Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure they own all if not most of their music so I don't think and recording companies would have a say.

It's almost impossible to adeqautely express how much this record has meant to me over the years. Every song has a story I like to replay in my mind. Theres a girl I love thatI call Monkey. I have been wasted in the afternoon more than once... its a soundtrack to a life I have lived and to the one I only dream of living. All the feels in this one.

    *I definitely appreciate this Rick* and don't worry about it - because you're a hybrid music instructor/sound analyst/mixer/engineer & an accomplished multi-instrumentalist (pro gig worthy) yourself. But there's a clear goal to stay objective and clear-headed, not lose your passion for clever technical skill and smart channeling of natural talent - and you remember the all-important empathy for the listener's experience -- all this still guides your musician/creator compass.
    Integrity guided by intelligence and joy, precision and honesty.
    Edit: It's appreciated.👍
