song post #3-- "the botanist"

I have been recording a bit more (off and on) since getting my new microphone for my birthday, and it's been a lot of fun. I'm still just as mediocre as ever at writing, singing, playing, and recording, but it's fun, y'know?

In any case, I have been surprised by the reception that this song has gotten when I've played it so here it is for all the internet to enjoy.

Again, that's my favorite of the songs of yours that I've heard. Not quite listening to it for hours on end on repeat, like certain humans do with certain songs of yours, but I dig.

Listening to it now. But it's way past bedtime.

Hey, I kind of liked it. I couldn't catch all the lyrics, but the few I caught reminded me of this song, which we have on a kids CD:

OK, Breeze pointed out that's it probably a cross between the song above (tree themes) and this one (at least as far as general acoustic sound and vocal quality).

thanks Dan for sharing! I liked the John Gorka song quite a bit. I love "Anyone Else But You" and I think if I could ever get to that level of singing & playing quality I would be quite pleased. : )
