Hey thanks for stopping by for a listen Bob. Mixing is always difficult for me, this one was particularly tough because it has such a busy lead guitar. It may still be too busy, part of the reason I wanted to post this and see what y'all think. Thanks for the comment.

Yeah, Herb, I've played a few of those type of places in the past too. They can be, well ... interesting. I learned once that a silver belt buckle can be more than decoration. It does a pretty good job of getting you out of a fix when you're swinging it out from a few inches of your belt at a few somebody's who've had a bit too much fun and become unfriendly, but like I said that was in the past - thank goodness. I checked out those songs you mentioned on your page - those are some good songs, man. I think it might be fun to put together a cowboy or western album someday. Those would be good ones to start with.

Thanks for the comment Dan, your opinions mean a lot to me. I've got a short attention span, if I ever read a novel it's got to be 4 minutes or less!

Thanks for listening and commenting David. Yeah, I know what you mean. I think all of my attempts are lacking and I'm still trying to get there. There's a lot of experimenting going on. It's a lot of fun learning though. Jim Croce meets rodeo - maybe a bit of a stretch, but a heck of a compliment. Thanks!

B.D., thanks for taking the time man. I'll bet trying to keep up those lyrics without it being your native language would be especially tough. You cracked me up. I think my wife and mama would agree with you about rodeo, but they weren't that fond of how I settled in on to make a living anyway. Now I'm retired and tucked safely away in my music room. I should be okay, as long as I don't break a guitar string and put my own eye out. As an aunt of mine once said, You know, you just never know!
