Hi Floyd
Gotta love a train song, and this is a really good one. Great lyrics and vocals. Love the harmonica and banjo combo. When it finished I immediately hit play again for a second listen. Top notch.
Regards,
Leon
Thanks, Leon. Always nice to have you drop by for a listen...
Much tamer than the Grateful Dead train ride across Canada. What a wonderful ride, Floyd. The perfect band. Love the harmonica. You are the best engineer for a train song like this. Dang, I know I've said this a thousand times, but you are in a special class of lyric writing. Heck, you are the tenured teacher.
OMG, I hear some sibilance on the Ss, but it aptly reminds me "of a distant whistle of that old southbound."
Thanks, Marty. In this case, Mike deserves a lot of credit. The bones of the lyric are his doing - he is a superb lyricist. I do some touch-up, polishing, additions, etc. (and the music and production), but much of his original remains...
