****** Song Summary *************
Title: NEVER HAD SO MUCH

This 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

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.
