I won't repeat all the positive comments, but will add that your harmonies are fantastic as well. Really enjoyed the tune and your flat picking!

Tom,

Dang, another good one . . . what toe-tapping fun. Yeah, that mandolin (partnering with that banjo) is bang up terrific. Great vocal, stellar mix. The roll continues . . . outstanding tune, catchy as all hell hook. Take a bow!

My best regards,

Deej

Wow. It's all there: excellent vocals, clever lyrics, memorable melody, catchy playing, toe tapping goodness, great mix...

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I was expecting a rock song, but surprisingly I heard an upbeat bluesgrass song. Nice lyrics with humor and something that could be called irony or reverse psychology, clever. Great combination of nice guitar playing, mandolins and banjos. Really catchy tune that made me smile.

Well, from a couple of folks who played in bluegrass bands for decades we gotta say that you have a genuine feel for the genre.
Actually we knew that already! smile

The mix is nailed which again shows your familiarity with bluegrass. It's harder to mix than many, many folks realize.

Your vocal, the melody and the lyric are all right in the wheelhouse of really good bluegrass.
And those flat picking bits sound great in tone and chops.

Nice to hear some bluegrass here and always great to hear tommyad!

Great songwriting. Great arranging. Fantastic performing.
Listening to this, I feel like I'm at a live performance of a favourite artist!
Brilliant stuff!

The vocals are so good, but they always are!
And that habit of yours (in the lyrics), well... not bad.
They may only cause headaches occasionally, but that is good for making beautiful songs!

Thank,Hans. I’m glad you liked it, Tom

Really like the choice of style. This is bluegrass at some of its best.

Good mix, and the solo breaks work perfectly.

I always enjoy your thoughtful comments and I didn’t grow up playing Bluegrass but I always enjoyed it. It took many years to get to the point of being able to play the style where I started to feel comfortable. Thanks for your supportive and generous feedback, Tom
