OP David Snyder Veteran Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 8,491 North Carolina	I see a lot of people have been doing some lonesome cowboy anthems, and I wanted to write a heart-rending, heart-twisting, gut-wrenching, soul-bustin’, tear-jerkin’, and all-night-drinkin’ and sobbin’ Allman Brothers type song for the Xtra Styles contest. I might have one finally but there’s a back story. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/tahoma After struggling and struggling and getting nowhere, I got down on my hands and knees and prayed to God to help me. Then, suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and looked. It was Gregg Allman. God let him out of heaven to come down for a session!! Thank you Jesus! Then Gregg said: “Get off that piano bench. I’m gonna show you the chords on this one. We’re playing this as slow as it goes. 40 BPM. And we’re playing it clean. Duane couldn’t make it. You’ll have to keep up.” Thank you God.

You captured that Gregg Allman soulful vocal. Sure do miss him already. Good stuff. Dave Last edited by GocartMoz; 09/05/18 02:21 PM.

OP David Snyder Veteran Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 8,491 North Carolina	Yeah thanks Dave. I struggled with whether I should have added guitar. You might be right, but I left the guitar part I had in mind out to make it more spooky. At least that was what I was thinking--but I hear ya. I went back and forth on that one. On a side note: I got to interview Gregg once. He was a really cool guy. No one could tear the place up like that guy. I had front row seats once and when he walked out there with his bottle and put it down on the organ he just stared at the crowd like "you have no idea what's about to hit you." And we didn't. He was absolutely in his own stratosphere when it came to male soul. No one could touch him. He just went into orbit. Yeah, I miss him too.

Not only are they viscerally visual but they set the stage magnificently for what is to come. I really enjoyed listening to this. The style was a great fit!

Some great stuff here, musically and lyrically. It would have been Peachy to have Duane drop by for the session but you and Gregg put together a fine collab!! Take care. Greg
