Charlie, This is very cool! Love the way you updated this. I may have to try this on one of my old ones as well.  Excellent job. Bob Thanks. I'd enjoy hearing some of your older stuff redone. Charlie

Tommy, Noel, floyd and others so well articulated what is so egaging about this tune. The obvious fact that y'all were having fun playing shines through every second of it.
The addition of the RTs works remarkably well. We have a lot of our old bluegrass projects for which I had the perseverance to take on as you did with this.
The mix sounds really good - you did a heckuva job. The vocal, the write and the steel are all standout. And what a tribute to your brother.
This will be a fine addition to our SC playlist and we are proud to have inadvertently played a tiny part in the stimulus for it!
J&B I appreciate and always look forward to your comments. It means a lot to me. I'm glad you enjoyed the listen and proud to make one of your playlists. Charlie

Hay Charlie, that was AWESOME!
It just goes to show that there are lots of ways to use PGMusic products... and resurrecting previously recorded material is one of them!
There's lots to like about this... your brother's pedal steel is very engaging! Is that you singing?? Sounds great to me! I especially like the live feel that you captured on tape... its hard to get that any other way. (Not impossible, but certainly a challenge)
Anyway... two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Hello, Charlie
As Noel said, this is fantastic and you've really got the knack when it comes to using BIAB/RB to re-work previously recorded material.
I also sometimes use the previously recorded materials with BIAB.
Pedal Steel is so pleasant and a very beautiful play. It made me feel Hawaiian rather than Country.
Your vocal and guitar are also very nice.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Merry Christmas to you from Japan.
Shigeki Adachi

Charlie,
I have to agree with the other accolades. If you hadn't said it was from an old recording I would never have known. Loved the pedal steel guitar playing. I am sure that Harold would have appreciated your reworking of this song.
All the best,
Jez

Charlie,
This is fantastic! You've really got the knack when it comes to using BIAB/RB to re-work previously recorded material. I cannot think of anyone else on the forum who has the same level as expertise as you.
I really enjoyed the listen. You and Harold have created a very engaging and very entertaining song. You both sound great. As I sat here listening and tapping my feet, I kept thinking "What a terrific tribute to your late brother" and "What a wonderful way to re-visit memories of yesteryear".
May Christmas bring all that's good your way,
Noel We agree completely! Once again you've demonstrated your skills in reworking previously recorded material. Very nice vocals in this one too. Rob & Anne-Marie

I appreciate and always look forward to your comments. It means a lot to me. I'm glad you enjoyed the listen and proud to make one of your playlists. Charlie BTW, I meant to say "for which I WISH I had the perseverance...." The number of my typos appears to be directly related to my aging. Merry Christmas! Bud
