Thanks. : ) I tell you, when you get over the Rosy Retro bias it feels like the world opens up. Who knows, maybe I've delayed turning into a crotchety old man by a decade or more.
All three songs you posted links for are amazing but Ren stands out for me. I'm learning acoustic guitar atm and his guitar playing skills are out of this world. Thanks for sharing these!
I don't think you could ever be that :)
Time will tell, each year that goes by the world seems more "peopley". Lol.
