    It's so beautiful, it's amazing that every one can hit those notes so reliably. good job boys you should be proud. Music is as close to a divine language as we can hope to get, I hope you boys are still spreading the love around.

    The quality of this is extraordinary. Not just in how well you each performed, but also how well what appears to be a single microphone captured all of this while playing outdoors. It almost sounds like it could have been professionally mixed as each part is perfectly balanced. I am very impressed.
    And it sure looked like it was a lot of fun. :)
