As Di's health continues to decline, my time here is more and more limited. Will listen and comment as much as possible. I wrote this one a few hours ago and recorded it a few minutes ago. This is the result of about two hours work, total. The vocal is a little loud but will pull it back when I get a chance. And yes, the lyric is pretty sparse, but it says everything I wanted to say. Everything else I tried to add sound like fluff. Thanks for giving it a spin, if you do!

Al & Di,
Our thoughts are with Di and we wish her all the best. Al, we really like this song. It is moody in a way, and very atmospheric. Immediately reminded us of Willie Nelson, but thats your voice timbre of course ;-) Well, you're definitely a pro, this kinda result in two hours time Is an accomplishment!

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. This is a beautiful song. It reminds me of Willy Nelson, of course, but also Joe Cocker's more mellow work.

My thoughts are with you during this difficult time! I'm very sorry to hear she is not doing well. Hoping for the best. <3
The song is lovely. Considering the circumstances I am so happy that you are still creating. That's really awesome. I very much hope to see more.
Keep your chin up as best as you can. <3

Hello, Alan & Di
My thoughts are with you at this difficult time and I wish Di all the best. This is really beautiful. I love your way of using various pleasant chord progressions. For example, Abmaj7 - G7 - Cmaj7 at the start of V1, F - F(#5) - F6 at the start of chorus, and so on. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

We are realistic about her health but take advantage of all we can and keep plugging along. Got no time or inclination to let me chin drop! Again, many thanks! Alan & DI

David, It's not the amount of what you say, rather, it's the value of the message. "Wow" says a lot to us. And thank you so much for that encouragement and validation of whaT we do here on these boards and in our little studio. We value your input. Wishing you well. Alan & Di

fj Thank you Floyd. I'll pass on your kind thoughts to Di in the morning. And I appreciate the super feedback on the song. I may go back and tweak a few things when I get time. I spent just under two hours on this and didn't fine tune everything exactly as I wanted it. Nothing big ... just little things here and there. Thanks again!z Alan & Di

Shigeki Adachi Hi Shigeki, So very nice to hear from you. I'll tell Di of your kind wishes for her in the morning ... she's sleeping now. I smiled as I read your comments about the chord progression. I've always liked to intonate the melody with nonstandard chord arrangements. Sometime they are very pretty ... sometimes a little weird! Thank you for noticing that! Wishing you the very best. Alan & Di

Amazing Al. While it takes me a month or more to squeeze one tune outa the song tube some of you folks can just sit down and do it. I can only wish! What makes the accomplishment even more amazing is the quality of what you did do quickly. The write, heartfelt vocal and production are all in sync. And the chord progression? Oh yeah! Again, when I do squeeze that one song out it's usually 3-4 simple chords. Sigh..... Great piece of work...no matter how quickly it was done. Best of our thoughts to Di...and you both. J&B

Belt Buckle Shiner!
perfect for a slow dance,
fine song, just the progression is great by itself
it makes the pedal steel really shine.
The mark of a pro, you had this song in you and it
didn't take long to write it down and record.
good mix on this too! I'm so glad that you're here on this forum
to share songs with us.
Kenny

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
