Thanks for the nice comments, James...

You know this isn’t the first time that we’ve written songs at the same time that have a similar theme. Funny how that happens. It could be you’re starting to rub off on me. That’s a good thing! Another good thing is your continued success in writing relatable lyrics. Also I would be remiss if I did not mention your tasteful leads and fills. Well done. Another in what is becoming a long line of wonderfully written and performed songs. Always a pleasure to see you post a new one. You are an inspiration to many here, Tom

Ah (pronounced awe), there's nothing better than a country boogie shuffle to stir the morning coffee. You are definitely at the top of recording standard, Floyd. For me it's like a limbo bar I'm too old to reach. What a wonderful mix, everything rides on the surface just below the vocals and solos which glide nicely over them.


Enjoy whatever happens!

But you nailed it; Great song, great groove, fun and well written lyrics.

And, you have been holding out in the guitar department! I had no idea you could play electric leads. Nicely done, I especially like what you did for the intro.

Love your vocal in this one! Very strong, especially during the chorus.

Nice stops in the chorus!

Drums sound awesome too.

Yeah! Well done, floyd smile



Thanks, Dave. I really appreciate your support (especially on this!)

WAY TO GO, FLOYD !

Sounds like the song that was missing from the film "My Cousin Vinny".
I turned up the volume as soon as I heard the first bar and let it rock.

Hey, what's not to like here? Classic backing track, superb break-down in the chorus,
wonderful signature vocals and well, THAT guitar.

Just when I thought I'd heard it all, there's that 24 bar guitar solo at the end.
I never knew you could play like that! This is definitely a guitarist's track.
I glad all my nagging about solos finally paid off.

Did I say I liked this one....

Nicely done.

ROG.

I really like this song and will be coming back to listen some more.


Charlie - I really appreciate all those kind comments!! You covered all the things I would hope "worked"... smile

I just finished listening to Dave's latest, now I'm listening to yours. You guys are really above my pay scale! Simply great stuff!! I wouldn't be caught dead with a crease in my Wranglers, but I doubt I could hold a candle to your Good old Girl. Great lyrics, what a picture painted. Thanks for your contributions here, especially the time you take with others. Really appreciated.

Than there can be parties where the band plays this kind of moody songs.
I liked how you sing the chorusses. Bright and very relaxed!
A good song, Floyd!

Beats heck out of being a bad old girl. This was great fun. You really painted the picture and turned the tropes on head. Ripe for video, methinks. Great band, including your bad self. Loved it.

An excellent addition to your catalogue.

Professional as always - delivers on all fronts.

I'm supposed to find my favorite lyric?

I didn't know there was going to be a quiz! wink

I thought pairing John Deere with fishing gear was inspired.

Loved hearing you solo. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
