Hello, RichMac
Very positive song!
This is "You Are My Sunshine" New Zealand version.
Guitars have a lot of old western feelings.
The sing along parts are very favorable.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

"Yes Johnny Cash and Waylon, Kristofferson, Willie.
That's my era."
And a fine era it was.
As Robert wrote: "The lightness works for me- and the western back track sounds great. Thanks for giving me a singalong lift!"
It worked for us and it (and copious amounts of coffee) are helping through a cold wet day.
Thank you!

Hi Bud, Hi Janice.
Delighted to help lift your rainy day.
Ah well, your summer, my winter coming.

Hello, "RichMac"!
Aside from the pleasure I experience listening to pure music, the most important thing I want a song to do for me is to cause me to experience some kind of emotion -- and you delivered magnificently on that account, "RichMac".
From the minute I heard your delightfully weathered voice in "Fair Land", stirred something in my breast. As I listened to it, I re-lived a feeling similar to the feeling I get when I'm singing "Happy Birthday" to someone I love, or when the same sings a song to me that we shared as children.
Its "onward" and "forward" tone -- its relentlessly optimistic outlook -- is irresistible. That you encouraged us listeners "to play and sing along" in your opening comments to the song's posting is proof that you knew, or at least strongly suspected, that the song could pull something sweet and life-affirming out of us!
Even the title -- "Fair Land" -- is evocative of some kind of future utopia that we all might arrive at if only we follow your lyric's simple prescription:
"Take the best, leave the rest..."
"Fair Land" makes me feel as though I've met you personally, "RichMac"! God bless you for blessing us with your radiant song.
Truly,
LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage")
"Music is what feelings sound like."-- borrowed from a Cakewalk Music Creator forum member, "Mamabear".

Loren, Thank you so much for your most kind and generous comments!
You really made my day. I may frame said comments to put them on my wall.
Delighted that you enjoyed the song and received it so warmly.
Best wishes
Richard.

Richard, I'm very late in getting to this one but that did not diminish the enjoyability factor. This was terrific. I love the way your lines flow. This sequence in particular appealed. When skies are cloudy
and times are tough
no-one seems to care
A Dark cloud's flashin
thunder crashin
no silver lining there
Embrace the change
don’t mind the pains
cause rainbows fill the air It's also good to see you experimenting with production and arrangement, too. You got my applause All the best, Noel
