Rain, rain Lars Lair says- "The Alpha and Omega of tears from the sky and their ambiance and moody effect are captured here by Mr. Aven so simply and naturally; just like falling raindrops." *** "this piece captures the gentle, explicable depression of childhood...the sight of rain, the infant's awareness of rude limitations...or else it is just a lovely, winsome afterthought of a song...i like it either way"-...staggerlee
Wisdom of Insecurity American Son Radio- "This is a true story of the soul and the land and it really moves me... I like to listen to it a few times in a row cause I love the poetic depth"
