Mom said she had a good time.  She can't deal with a change in her routine.  Being at my place was very unsettling for her.  She's going to stay home next week and I'm going to go down and check on her.  My sister is going to be really pissed when she gets back.  My niece is selling her home and moving her family in with my brother and can't do Thanksgiving and she's pregnant.  My mother immediately offers to do Thanksgiving at her house.     My sister hates hosting the family functions.  Caleb offered to do it but it's too far for everybody to drive according to mom.  And she wanted me to break the news to my sister.  Hell no old woman, you made that mess.  Family, what can you say besides I'm glad I live a good distance away from them.   

The lady wanted to know what that white flower that blooms so well in the moon garden is.  Okay, the whole fucking garden is white!  I'm going with Euphorbia, looks like Baby's Breath.  I tried using it in Marsha's roses but it didn't hold up that well.  Right now it's a big bush and really showy.  Could be the Angelonia but that's my first guess.

How did that happen?  Extension offered to pay for the Herb Garden renovation and now suddenly, they have me going before the counsel to ask for the money.  We weren't asking, you were offering!  I would have never asked for the money.  Now instead of thanking them for their gift, I'm begging them for money!

How many times can my team call me about the gardens while my mother is visiting?  My family doesn't really support my work at the gardens.  I don't know why they should care and if I field a few phone calls or make a few when we are just sitting around watching TV, what's the big deal?

I was so honored that Axl asked me and trusted me to produce his vocals, play the string arrangements, and do the orchestration for his contribution to this record. Of course this was all possible because of the dream team - my composing/producing partner Brain Mantia and the insane and brilliant mixing skills of @duganchris. Thank you to Ax, @betalebeis @santista17 @michaelschenkerrocks @kidroommusic and everyone who was involved in making this amazing thing happen 🙏. Released today on music streaming platforms 🌟.

This is a nice treat. Axl sounds great love the song.

with all the troubles axl might be having singing: you can tell that he bows down to ufo and tries to make it right ... i think not giving a raspy scream (or a trademark "yeah"!) at the end is not just a question of limitation but of respect and trying to deliver what is needed. i especially like the emotional tone throughout the clean passages ...

Maybe we get all of the Chinese Democracy leftovers on a box set 20th anniversary.

Well one thing is for sure, other than leaks, we’ll never hear songs that aren’t released.

It’s good to hear, but honestly I’m bummed that they haven’t released a song that rhymes with Natlas Bugged yet. From what I’ve heard it’s pretty awesome.

solid cover of a hidden gem I didn't know before this project taken place, not that familiar with UFO.
I'm not sure I understand the artistic choice behind the effects on the vocals, it's a bit too much
(reverb?) but it's well sang and Axl is serving the song without doing a vocal demonstration,
I listen to it on repeat.
