Hi Tom,
A super song with a great message.
An excellent backing track with lots of textures in there.
Fabulous vocal and cool harmony on the chorus.
It was a good move keeping the Dobro!
Loved the whole thing.

Awesome vocal and perfect timing for the lyric Tom. REally glad you didn't sell the dobro. You steel and dobro have been an inspiration for me. I have a lapsteel and have been trying to get some practice time on it. Very difficult instrument to play. All feel. Well done loved this

Tom,
Good write. Nice message.
The mix sparkles. You get your vocal to sit in a mix so well. Crisp, clear, but never getting "above the mix".
All the instruments sound good. Acoustic, steel, dobro. Drums! and Bass...
A terrific listen.

Wow. This song came at the perfect time for me - I was having a bit of an "argument with God" tonight and then I stumbled on this song. Wow. But enough about me. The song is nothing short of genius. The lyrics are pure magic, your voice's depth is extraordinary and makes the song what it is - it's so believable as the father talking to his son. A superb, professional job ... with a message and lyrics that go that extra mile and make this not just good but outstanding. Superb. Bravo.

Love it, Tommy. Rocks and trees are my best friends. Weird, but not sad. Yeah, That dobro sound is irreplaceable, and it really shines in your hands.

"It’s important that you try to give a little back And the peace that it provides is all that you can ask" Packed with wisdom as is the entire lyric. Glad you held on to that dobro...been one of our fav instruments for many years. The vocal is very rich in sound and the sincerity of the lyric is soulfully delivered. You always thread the needle when you pen a personal tune in that it always can be appreciated and enjoyed by so many. And the production...what to say? It's a tommyad production Always pro level. Great tune Tom and we enjoyed it! J&B

Wow, what a song and what a mix. I believe this song is "Radio Ready"!!! Ronnie, thanks for giving it a spin. I appreciate it,Tom Awesome vocal and perfect timing for the lyric Tom. REally glad you didn't sell the dobro. You steel and dobro have been an inspiration for me. I have a lapsteel and have been trying to get some practice time on it. Very difficult instrument to play. All feel. Well done loved this Scott, the thing about moving from guitar to something with a bar is intonation. It really develops your ear. With today’s world of online tutorials it is a huge advantage that I didn’t have 50 yrs ago when I started playing steel. It took at least 2-3 years before I had the courage to play with anyone. Keep plugging away, it gets easier. Thanks for the comments, Tom
