Amen brother.

Party??? Dude! I live in Colorado! You get contact high just driving THRU Boulder. I'm surprised Willie doesn't move here.

Happy New Year!

Been seeing this for a few days, and finally got the chance to pop in for a listen.

Yep. I can hear the Mel oozing out of that song.

I've always considered myself a "Gibson" man, but recently, (a few years ago) I picked up a Fender Tele..... and while I love the fat, thick, tone of a cranked up Gibson, the Tele also has a classic sound that lends itself well to a nice touch of overdrive and still retains that classic brittle clean Tele sound.

The words in this are dead on target. Nicely written and done.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Thanks, Herb. We've got at least one Gibson lying around here...a Lucille, I believe. Nice fat tones out of that one.

Yep...ol' Merle was the essence of "American" country music. I tried my best to capture that in this song.

Thanks for listening,

This song, and particularly this verse, describes just the way I feel about the current economy. Really well-written and high impact writing! Great job with the vocal and arrangement. Love it!! Take care. Greg


Thanks, Greg. I was trying to be "timely" in my story line. Glad you liked it. Thanks for listening.
