Had a day off! (Whew!) So I had to write a new one. I met my wife some 43 years ago at a music festival in Port Isabel, TX. She was a vocalist in a band, and I was a solo artist. And the rest is history! Last Sunday, we went to Threadgill's (The Old Armadillo Headquarters) in Austin to celebrate our grandson's 12th birthday. We were surprised to get to see the Bells Of Joy (a legendary Black Roots Gospel group) perform at the Sunday Brunch. As we were all singing along, I caught a glimpse of my wife smiling at me - and the idea for this song was birthed. (Sorry for the lengthy intro!)  Hope you enjoy it... The Richest Man In Town Here are the RealTracks used... RealTracks in song: 2478:Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 110 RealTracks in song: 887:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment FolkPopPrairie Ev 100 RealTracks in song: 2449:Guitar, Electric, Background, PopDreamyBrent Ev 085 (CustomFX) RealTracks in song: 1856:Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085 ******************* Have a great day!

The richest man indeed. We are thankful that we also have a long wonderful marriage and that it allows us to get swept quickly into this heartfelt production.
As always your vocal and the selection of RT's are perfect for the composition. The nice airy mix and the "just right" out front vocal are so well done.
Nice!!

Steve,
A beautiful love song. Written as a good love song ought to be - original and from the heart... The melody on the third line ("...You turned my heart around") is a nice surprise.
Beautiful vocal (as all of yours are). Nice arrangement and production and mix (as all of your are). The use of the guitar was especially nice.
Excellent.

A wonderful love song, delivered with a great vocal and fine production.
I especially enjoyed where you took the melody... oh, and the cello of course.

Sorry it is taking so long for me to get back on this one. I've had another crazy week! I just did a more complete mix, so there have been some little changes uploaded. The richest man indeed. We are thankful that we also have a long wonderful marriage and that it allows us to get swept quickly into this heartfelt production.
As always your vocal and the selection of RT's are perfect for the composition. The nice airy mix and the "just right" out front vocal are so well done.
Nice!!
