https://soundcloud.com/user-227577634/never-had-so-much****** Song Summary ************* Title: NEVER HAD SO MUCHThis song reflects, in a large way, how I feel about where I am today. When folks ask "how're you doing"?, I usually answer with "Never had so much, never needed so little". I get a lot of interesting responses to that. Usually good. It's the truth. I thought it made for a good "hook", so I put it into this song. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope it applies to you too. THANKS for listening. George Lyrics, Arrangement, and Vocal By: George McAllister Mixed In: REAPER Mic: RODE NT 1000 Key=D , Tempo 190, Length (m:s)=2:05 No intro. 96 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 96.

george,
Like I said over on the main forum, this is great - brought back memories of when I started playing guitar and the numerous country bands I've played on over the years. I really, really like this. Good luck!

George,
I listened to this song and the other songs you've posted to SoundCloud. All are nice to listen to. You have a gift with arranging a song. The lyrics are strong and you've found a "happy spot" with your vocals.
