Nicely done! I thought it flowed gorgeously, and your vocals are really attention grabbing on this one. I enjoyed the slow, passive groove on it too. It has a really nice pace to it. Great work and thanks for sharing  Thanks Deryk... Pleased that you enjoyed the song and thanks for the comments.

Nice writing, Jim! And man, that vocal!
Good thing I listened to this on headphones so my guitars couldn't hear the lyric, wouldn't want them to give them any false expectations!

Hi Jim,
Listened to your very sweet song and immediately fell in love with my two guitars, a 12-string and a 6-string.
Both blessed with those beautiful curves you sang about. It's because of Band in a Box that I have neglected them for a while.
So, you helped me loving them again.
But beside my adventure, I enjoyed your song and your call for cherishing the guitars.
At first I thought you sang too low, but quickly after that I began to really appreciate your nice brass voice. Didn't know you could reach that low register! Then I thought the song had ended. But you fooled me with that, because a while later you continued in a transposed way. You must do this more, Jim!
Hans Thanks Hans\ I really appreciate your kind comments, support, & participation on this forum! You are one of the many ones who make the User Showcase... The best place on the Internet to share your songs.

Well does my upright bass count? Janice has two sweet old Martins so I can definitely love them! Like Scott said this is a nice changeup. Cool vibe, cool lyric and yeah that vocal gets you from the get go. Enjoyed it! J&B Thanks to both of you... For you amazing comments & support! Well does my upright bass count? Probably to only 3 or 4... Sorry I couldn't help myself

Cool tune Jim! Love he low vocal tones...so reminiscent of some of the old Don Williams-Tom T Hall era songs! Now I know why my wife sometimes views the 10 plus guitars I have with disdain at times! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Jim.
You singing this, right?
Very intimate style tune, reminds me of Leonard Cohen music.
Cool approach in vocals / spoken word. A reminder to me, that tunes do not have to be over-complicated to be good.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.
Thanks Misha... I'm always touched by your incredibly kind words & support!
Jim

Hi Jim,
why the singular? I love them all: My Gibson LP on mondays, my JB Strat on Tuesday, my MexStrat on... (to Maha, who's just entering the room): 'Just kiddin', love you every single day !!!!' (Maha left the room) ... Wednsdeays, my old Hopf Galaxy on Thursdays, my Ovation ... (t.b.c'ed).
Jim, I love the songs your coming up with - they're always a big surprise and a treat, too.
Take care,
Stefan

Jim - the intro vocal - wow - radio voice or what?
As Rustyspoon/Misha suggests - there's a lot of Laughin' Lenny in this vocal performance - particularly the title track from You Want It Darker.
Most folk don't appreciate that Cohen was a very funny fellow in many of his songs as well as his conversations.
Thanks Ray... For your wonderful comments & support... As well your reference to Cohen's "You Want It Darker"... I hadn't heard that one before.

Well... I've definitely been going about songwriting the wrong way!
Great vocals on this, really clever lyrics and love the key change at the end. I hope at some point I can get my recording skills and presentation up to this kind of quality in the future.
Thanks for sharing!

Jim, as soon as this started I thought of Tom T. Hall! Was he the Tom you were talking to at the bar, maybe about old dogs, children and watermelon wine?
Seriously this is really good. Your vocal was strong (and low!), your mix was perfect, but your lyrics took it over the top for me!
Unfortunately I listened to this via my monitors and my three basses left town!
Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.
