New Song: It's A Beautiful Day (Bicycle Bob)

Here's a video produced by our friend "Bicycle Bob" Scolnik. He described the video and asked Ruth to write the song. She did without ever having seen the video itself. We produced the song in our home studio with the help of John King and Dan Seabolt playing guitar and fiddle, respectively. Hope you enjoy.
