Guenter: Thanks for listening. Yes, Herb was right on with his assessment. I didn't think my voice was salvageable, so I got a friend to sing it for me.
R&AM: I appreciate you guys stopping by. As noted above, I chose to replace the vocals with another singer. You had referred me to Gsnap on an earlier post and I downloaded it and played with it some but at some point forgot I can't sing and set it aside. May need to take another look.

This certainly fits in nicely with the project. Sitting down
and writing, on demand, a song about a specific topic
is not something I am equipped to do. You did it and
did it well. I streamed the song in my vehicle and
on our monitors and it sounds like a fine mix --
nice soundstage.
Kudos!!

J&B Thanks for the kind comments. I actually have had good luck with songs where someone has requested a specific topic. Half the thinking is done before I start. As for you writing to a specific topic, I think you do a more than admirable job; as you displayed in your recent re-mix and video updating "Bottomland". I appreciate the support you've given to me for my submissions here on the forum. Charlie

I'm hearing the revised version and it sounds good. The instruments are well balanced and the levels feel right. The vocalist is right on.
This melody paired with the story line and the lyrics is very powerful. It's not a minor key - I don't think - but it sort of has that feel to me and it works very well. Smooth progressions with space to let the message sink in. Nice job.
