   About A Gentle Forest
I have alot of spare time. I thought I'd be better off making lo-fi recordings than watching Lou Diamond Phillips in Bats.

Stars are in constant explosion, but there is no sound. Like a tree falling; does it make a sound if there's no one to hear it. Therefore "...the stars and the sounds they make" can be interpreted as a modern koan. Very Clever.

The new song sounds good. I haven't heard the ol' percussion stuff in a while.
p.s. There is no sound in space.

Also: You moved me too far down your friends list for me to feel special.

And did you have a slide guitar in that song the first time around? I just noticed it. Some how. or is it some sort of tremolo.

you have a beautiful voice/voices!

Hey Sonia, We should give Candace and Fraser a break. I was under the impression that they've been planning that trip for a while. So how about just you an me play. I haven't done guitar stuff in a long time. So you don't have to play alone but it be a nice change just for a show to play just you and me. I have more time to practice so we'd also sound better.

hey GF!

we'd love to come to the toon!

lots of great bands there...including you guys...really like your songs!

we'll stay in touch
