Very cool, Joe. Thanks for going into the studio & adding your talents to this piece. Many, many thanks.

Love the guitar work here. Joe West absolutely crushing it.

Barry Mergler is a former high school teacher/mentor of mine, and also is a dynamite musician/songwriter to boot. His support for me not only helped push me through High School, but through life itself. I decided to dig back into some old emails, and find an instrumental recording of the track we had done in a local studio during my senior year. I recorded  vocals over it, finally placing a conclusion that seemed to have never been had for the track. I added a few lyrics here and there, but mostly what you hear is written by the man himself! Thanks for everything.
