The accordion in the verse is too loud (I think) - it has the same rhythm/cadence as the lyric (which is nice), but seems to be at the same level as the vocal - so is competing with it (I found it distracting to the lyric) - It works well otherwise.

Enjoyed.

Good to see you too, Floyd.

Boy, did this production ever give me grief. Taming that accordion was a challenge and if it's bothering you then it's still too wild. More automation is probably in order.

A little backstory, I may have mentioned this here before, but my Mom's brother is a well known concertina player among the 'old time' music crowd. He was inducted into the Dakota Musicians Assoc. Hall of Fame in 2007. He and Mom (she sings) performed for years as a duo and later with his band. Anyway, I was trying to weave some of that 'old time' sound into this mix.

Btw, don't know if I ever let you know, but I finished that song we worked on way back. Never recorded it. Wouldn't be right. Thinking about getting some help with that. I'll PM you.
