Hi, George.

Another classic sounding two-step! smile

You make it sound so easy. Fun listen.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

George, another snappy tune! Love your vocals and the arrangement. That pedal steel break sounds great, too. Great job!

Hi Nigel. I appreciate hearing from you. The vocal recording, mixing and mastering was done in Reaper. I do very little in BIAB other than picking the style and writing the progression. It's amazing and I don't begin to understand it all. THANKS !!

Hi George,

A good old countrysong sung with a marvelous voice for that kind of songs.
You have done great on it, love those vocals the most.
But maybe because it's impossible for a Dutch person to imitate.
Something about your song was intriguing: are you sure the bar isn't yours? It was the bar stool, the jukebox too, just like the friends...

Good day,
Hans

Good Afternoon Hans. Well, those comments go both ways, If I tried to do anything Dutch I'd trip over my tongue. No, the bar (or the stool or jukebox) isn't mine, but I've been around a few. Thanks for listening and taking time to write.
