Crazy good lyric. Crazy how such a simple line can be turned to conjure up so many meanings/interpretation/smiles. The words "plausible deniability" come to mind.

I do think you got the verse order a little mixed up...I think verse three and two should swap. But I'm maybe still a little too tickled by the whole shebang to trust even my own opinions. The steel was a great, tasteful add to the BBand. Dude knows how to play a song. Hugely enjoyed.

Marty

I agree with Bud the vocal, steel and bass performances were standout. Some really nice playing throughout and it's a real foot tapper.

Excellent work all round.

Haha. Thanks, Tom. For a minute there I thought you were saying I'm not usually fun. Yes, I will mention that to Bill. His biggest comment about his new pedal is that it has so many more things for his legs and feet to do.

Ah, yes, Vic, the old days. I was born the year Fender came out with the first electric bass, which in some books was before rock 'n' roll. Thanks for your comment and listen.

This is a lively paced and entertaining production Marty.Well Done.

Thanks so much for the encouragement, Gary. Singing "I'll darken that gleam n your eye" was impossible to sing with any menace in my voice --the tongue in my cheek took over. haha. Thanks, Gary.

Nice job on bass and steel respectively. All blending well with the RealTracks. Mix sounds good.

The vocal is my favorite part of this. Great enthusiasm!! Punchy.

Enjoy.

Thanks a lot, Floyd. Bill (Z) hasn't posted here much lately, but he definitely remembers you. Thanks for the listen.

Thanks, Robert. You're right about the one-take. I tried working with Melodyne on it, but missed the ol' pitchy me --which really means I don't know what I'm doing with it and needed to move on.

That is one of her higher compliments! smile

The vocal, steel and bass performances were standout.

The BGV's really added to the fun factor.

Wrapped in a good mix also!

And as always we enjoyed the vid photos.

You guys make me smile broader every day. Thanks so much.

Ah, you know I love the Buddy Holly reference, Mario. He would've cringed at it, but I'm grateful.
