You had me right from that opening riff I think, Tom  Quite the backstory! And quite the character, I can imagine it must have been a great time trading stories with him. Great stuff, Tom, very much enjoyed. Thanks Dave. That was an afternoon I won’t forget! Tom

Love this Tommy.
That opening guitar lick is killer.
And the hook is hookier than hell.
Great job!!

Well, maybe not the last but we could do with a few more in this fancy world.
Good sound if just a tad heavy guitar in the choruses.
I enjoyed that, Tommy.
Vic Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I appreciate,Tom Fascinating interview. And you brought that great feeling to this song, Tom. A wonderful story told in a great tribute song. I'd really like to hear his song about you. Way to strike up a conversation with a strange stranger, and turn it into something special. Thanks Marty. I’m glad you liked it, Tom

Tom,
YOU are the complete package.
I was just complimenting Dave Bell on his Producer chops (Coast Of Sadness). All that applies to you (doubly).
You write and play at that same level.
Your Audio Engineering is so far past everyone else it isn't even funny.
You get an acoustic guitar sound that is to-die-for.
Electric and Bass POP. Drums, too.
Vocals stand loud and proud and tucked-in perfectly.
Excellence in all direction.
fj Well those are some mighty nice things to say! Thanks, Tom

A very modern professional piece of music. I like it.
The interview was an unusual lead into a song. Riding a horse that far is something else.
Good stuff.

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig?
“Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”

Hey Tom,
Great story, great lyrics, great music. I'm glad you enjoyed it, Tom Wow. Big country song, great vocal, excellent mix, solid guitars... "He sang original cowboy songs/so it was hard to sing along"Ha! And a good write, too. I see you picked up Waves BB Tubes - cool plugin. That was a lot of fun.  David, Thanks for mentioning the writing. A lot of the conversation made it's way into the lyrics. BB tubes works remarkably well. I've used it on drums, guitars and even vocals at times. Tom

Another classic from you Tom. Interesting story into a good with great chops and vocals. Always a fan and look forward to hearing another song of yours.
Charlie Charlie, thanks, I'm always happy to hear from you, Tom Hi Tom,
What a supercool countrysong you made Wonderful!
And all that with just a couple of beers and a good conversation.
That surely fits with the title...
I loved everything: the cool song, the cool vocals, guitars/band and your mixing skills.
Played it several times by now.
Cheers,
Hans
Hans, Thanks for your kind words, Tom

Love the the guitar. That really brings the listener in, along with the vocal. This is a hit as far as I'm concerned.
