The only addition to the style was the RT Mandolin and my Telecaster for fills. BIAB tracks were exported to Reaper for vocals, guitar, and final mixing.

I got this old beat up Martin back in Denver It just feels right in my hands We’ve spent all these years together on the road Playing beer joints with the bands There ain’t nothing I have written could last long No one cares cause it’s just one more hurting song So don’t call me when you’re lonely I can’t say when I’m coming home.

Is there a way to find out when exactly I got it? I remember installing it one afternoon (from floppies) and staying up til 2am playing with it. I'm still amazed.

Janice & Bud Veteran Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 15,877 GA USA	We've spent some time in Co...so thanks for the memories. The fine vocal really carries this production...the laid back feel of it works really well with the lyric and melody. "Laid back" can often, in our book, kill a song but when it's pulled off like this it can really work. There's just the right amount of road weariness in the lyric, arrangement and vocal to give a very authentic feel to the story. Everybody in the band (RT's and you) are hittin' the note. Enjoyed it. J&B Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.
