In any case Herb, I do appreciate your
very kind words regarding this
embryonic tune !:))

Well Dani, everything Herb said is true. But the good news for you is he could post the same comments for every song that is on the American radio top 20 country playlist today.

The better news is there is plenty of room for your Bacharach type of chording, arrangements and especially your wonderful baritone vocal and real harmonies in country music. There is also some history of it. Note that I'm not implying that Herb said otherwise. I'm just providing different examples.

If you decide to take another embryonic jab at country (and I hope you do) check out songs by Jim Reeves, Eddie Arnold or Rex Allen Jr. They all did some fairly sophisticated arranged songs though the chord progression was simple.

Here is Eddie Arnold singing a song that also was recorded by the likes of Elton John, Roy Clark, Andy Williams and Glen Campbell, to name a few.
