Another nice listen, Gordon.
A little bit John Denver-ish, a little bit Poco-ish...
Nice.

Hey RiverBear, great work on this! Really dug the reverb on the vocals and the guitars sound very lively and fresh. Well done!
Nice work on this
Love how gentle it is - almost like a souped up campfire tune. Someone else mentioned John Denver and I can agree with that comparison - definitely not a bad thing! Your vocals and the chord progressions match beautiful.
Thanks for sharing!
Fine song...
I like the vocals...
Nicely done!
Had a listen to this song this afternoon. Very cool song. Super vocal and loved the lyric. Well done
Gordon,
Nice folk style song.
I was hesitant to write my opinion on your first post (This is Hidin) about distant vocals...somebody was braver than I and pointed it out. Seems you took it well
This song has a very good balance between instrumentals and vocals.
I enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.
Pretty nice, I think with the encouragement here, you're going to get better and better.
Hi Gordon,
I'm sitting here at 3:18 pm on Good Friday listening to you sing and it sounds great!
All the best,
Noel
Your voice really works with this.
The timing seemed a little wobbly early on & the lead noodling wanders a bit but this is very nice.
What BIAB components did you use?
Rayc.. I used none. I did this song before I had bIAB. So, as the story goes.... I was 5 when my grandmother taught me some piano and then clarinet in junior high from them. I got a guitar in parts at 14 and Harvey Thomas, the guitar builder told me what to do to get it together. I had to wrap pickups and put the neck on and solder and all that. I got a banjo and a mandolin and like 15 and all. So, all the tracks I have been doing all my life, I just played. Bass, mandolin, dobro, banjo, bozuki, fiddle, piano, baritone, ..my house is like a music store. I dabble with all sorts of things. I was a lead guitarist, mandolinist, slide guy and keyboard player in a local band for about two years recently. It taught me a bunch. I hope that was not against the rules to put something up that I played everything on.
Timing... I have a good right ear, but cannot hear things like drums very well. I was a machinist for 40 years and now retired. yup, now you see why BIAB. I have always programmed drums, I only play spoons and native eight sided drum myself. I needed the background tracks to really move forward. Right here, what you said tells me I made the right decision. I thank you for a question that made me dig deeply into my own head to answer.
All the rest, thank you very much as well.
A wonderful song, thanks for sharing with us.
Beautiful, laidback song. Loved it - thanks!
