All, thanks for the many compliments. Very fun song to do. The PPL comparisons are very cool, and Amie is one of my favorite songs of that era.

Thanks for the comment on the bass volume, will need to listen to that more carefully. Mixing on studio monitors and headphones sometimes tricks me into thinking the bass is better placed in the mix than it is.

Charlie, I'm humbled by your inspiration to explore an alternative production. Am so enthralled by lyrics and melodies that I too often forget that the listener is sometimes looking for more, and I stop too soon. Good on you!

Dusty sings all the vocal parts and plays all the guitar. I arranged the harmonies and wrote the guitar solo. Dusty improvised the intro and ending guitar parts. He is SO very talented, very accommodating, and a careful listener. His work is highly recommended. For me, the lyricist nailed a traditional theme in a unique way that blows me away. Wish I could do that. smile

Thanks again for all the listens. Very helpful and inspiring.

Too many guitars (is that a thing?)
