Recorded in 2007 at The Cabin Studios in West St. Paul, MN featuring the violin talents of our dear friend Amy Tobin who passed away a few years ago after a valiant multi-year battle with breast cancer. She left a young son Liam behind. I performed, arranged and produced this labor of love with Amy playing all bowed strings. I played acoustic guitars, bass, synth and percussion. Andy Dee contributed banjo, and Donnie LaMarca his usual gorgeous keys. Our very special guests included my dear former wife Bev Roath (1966-2018), Kathryn Hayes, and Jenny Crauser,  aka The Three Wenches who danced on the studio wood floor as percussion while Kathryn played the authentic Irish Boudran while we were all "slightly lit" on the original formula Power's Irish Whiskey, With Amy & Bev now passed away...  This performance is dedicated to their cherished memory and the good time we all had... Sadly... Zannman aka Christopher

Old Man-  Zannman & The Warehouse Barbarians

A Bill Withers Classic done in a 2025 Way..A few years ago my artists Paul Metsa & Willie Walker were opening for Joan at The Dakota jazz club in Minneapolis. We talked about something together. For starters I did this Remix with Joan and some of her band. I played the new feel bass track and added my vocal. Sometimes less is more if the emotion that moves listeners is there. One of my kind followers commented "Can’t stop replaying this! Absolute masterpiece." Thanks dear! Z.
