That ripped bass worked a treat...tech skills to the fore in a classic country ballad.


Thanks, ray.... (i am still struggling with getting a just-right-bass combination, so always let me know when it isn't working)

This is EXTRAORDINARY. For me, by far your best, so far. Janice is PERFECT (I don't say this lightly) with the harmonies. And your vocals are absolutely PHENOMENAL. I've never heard you sound so gentle, so soft. Usually, you have a difficult story to tell, or something of the kind ... which necessitates a "raspier", or a more "wizened" voice tone, perhaps? (or perhaps I'm just rambling, but ...) . This is a change of gear, for sure ... you're still telling a story, but in such a different, softer way ... and wow, what an end result.

CONGRATULATIONS to the both of you, as well as to your co-writers, of course. What a collaboration, what a song.

Thanks for the wonderful review, James...

If my Google search is correct, Danny Mayo died really young (49 years old)! When did you write this in the early 90's?

Thanks, Dewey. Yes, Danny died too young. On his birthday. Danny birthday celebration at a writers' night where he brought a group of his co-writers to play (Danny did not play or sing). He had gotten a room at the Ramada next door (he was not going to drive home after celebrating). He had a heart attack in his room. We all spent the rest of the night in the parking lot. Dazed.
Sad. We had been friends for quite a while by then...
