Pat,

Thank you for your very kind feedback.

It was just a coincidence, the Becky & Charlie / Bonnie & Clyde thing... Didn't even cross my mind till you brought it up.

The song is a true story. They'd both had trouble with the law in the past and Becky was driving the night they missed a curve and she was killed. As the song say's, Charlie survived... but I don't know that he's ever really gotten over it.

I lucked out with the backing tracks and didn't do any cut/paste, I just generated the tracks several times till I got the one's I liked best and then used volume envelopes (in Reaper) to take a particular one out or bring it up where I thought best.

Thanks for the vocal compliment & yes I did play all the fill guitar parts.


Rob,

Hey thanks!


Bob,

Hey thanks for the Hartford comparison, it may have something to do with the keys I'm singing in
(D & E) which aren't keys I normally sing in!
I always liked that song of his that had the line: "I wanna see you get that golden globe award... for both of your sunbeams".

I played my "Custom Shop" Tele Custom Deluxe (used the "Twisted Tele" bridge PU) and did three harmony's on the bendy end lick... the one panned to the left... I'm bending a wound string and accentuating the 7th note.
I thought it was pretty cool so that part might be a little louder than the other two.

Thanks again guys,

Greg
