How does someone stay this inspired? song after song. war isn't murder hit 1,000,000 listens on spotify a few days ago. been watching and rooting. The amount of work you have been putting in is.... humbling. that's a lot of feelings and thoughts to sort through, and transforming that into this, week after week... there is a lot to say but nothing greater than Thank You. Truly.

[@TeeKing]

You, Jesse, are writing and singing all the national anthems I actually want to hear.

[@bveracka]

Well said. Jesse's a treasure for sure. His older rock music from his band "Welles" is pretty good too, but this solo stuff is just…it's amazing.

[@patrickclvn]

Boy that’s some good pickin and a grinnin right there boy. I love your tunes sir.

[@isaiahdaniels5643]

You're a modern folk country legend.

[@dimplesocktickletit7189]

I subbed (not long ago) when you had around 500, amazes me how quickly you can write new songs with witty, clever and poignant lyrics, often about recent topical subjects. Also love the way you’re playing with a pick and chicken picking with your other 3 fingers, really like your style man, world needs music like this right now. Keep it up, I have a feeling you’re going to be a legend.

[@SantinoDeluxe]

the pauses and restarts are so confident and smooth, really commands attention!

[@ConspiracyArchives-u4g]

Jesse, you are amazing. You and the music, lyrics and greenery make me smile. Much love to you and yours.

I've been impressed, critical and all sorts of other things with you Jesse. This one was real neat. Thanks.

[@OhYouDontKnowMe]

Wow, let it flow Jesse, just keep letting these songs flow. They are all so thoughtfully crafted and thought provoking, just what our society needs right now!

[@dimplesocktickletit7189]

I don’t know whether that’s a new guitar, or if you don’t use it often, but I really like its tone man.

[@nathanhudson2880]

We all need to stand together with love and sing them hard old songs sometimes, That’s what makes them live again.

[@MovingToLight]

Ya needed a new guitar after tossing, falling and whipping the other ones through the brush? 😂 Oh, Jesse… If only your comment section was so open to the songs in the heart of everyone they come into contact with that they are with yours. We’re all doing our dang best, just some of us are off key or really bad at whistling, but the song is there. ❤❤❤ Have a good rest of your week, I hope there’s something amazing for you to write about tomorrow.

[@bobdionne4625]

They are not 3/4 size, at the time that was called "standard size" which translated to about 13" lower bout. 24,25" scale length is on the shorter side tho.

[@jimrebr]

Perfect 👍 I love your incredible timing, wow you got so many historical references in this. My husband is a big fan of you now, you have your finger on the pulse of the USA!! Much love and come to Washington State, the west side of Washington, like Bellingham and the Wild Buffallo, or the historic Mount Baker theater in Bellingham or the Lincoln Theatre in Mt. Vernon. I hope you have a Road Manager who books shows for you!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@davidcooke8005]

1. As a singer guitarist who covers the Star Spangled Banner, I concur. It is hard to sing. That's why I just do an instrumental version. But seriously, it's an odd arrangement with a big range. It's legit hard to sing. 2. Jesse sporting a new guitar with his well deserved KZbin money. 3 . Jesse still getting the feel for his new guitar and clicking the pick on the body for extra accidental percussion.
