Story behind the song
I put away all my synth guitars and pulled out my Martin 00CXAE acoustic for this one. Close to the original, but not exact, I was going for Snuffy's great acoustic tone. William Garrett Walden (also known as Snuffy Walden or W. G. Walden) is a musician and composer for television shows. He has been awarded or nominated for numerous Emmy Awards and BMI Awards.

What an exceptional song, Michael. Your guitar playing is intense with musical drama befitting the title, "On the Road to Kansas". Once, we lived in Kansas. And when we were "on the road to Kansas", this is what I felt from my historical knowledge of that great state. Music is meant to emote our lives. In this case, your incredibly wonderful song has captured my fond memories of a special "chill out" moment in time... Thank you, great musician and highly valued friend for this memorable song, and the download.

Holy **** MD what a tone! That is some awesome guitar noise - impressive mic techniques too to get it so deep and clear. Masterful production. A rare treat for these old ears! Beautiful!
