this track sounds really great on the computer i think. it kindles up those memories of staying at a cottage on Adams Lake with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins, and ma and pa when i was a youngun. there were so many nights i tried to imagine what was going on in the kitchen just outside my bedroom door. in looking back on it, my folks probrably put me to bed so they could have a nice game of cards, a few wholesome laughs, a pipe of tobaccy without the wee ones seein', a few cuss words, and a couple of cold beers while they caught up with their loved ones. we were some rambunctious hellions when given half a chance and as a fitting consequence our bedtime was mighty early in those days.
i found it immeasurably fun and mysterious to try to imagine what they might be doing while i was in bed "sleeping".
they sure don't make doors like they used to. this track reminds me of the sounds i was hearing coming through that door.
thanks allison, what a beautiful and imaginative, conjuring piece.
