Gosh, Alan, that's quite a compliment - thank you. Ol' Waylon was one of my favoirtes! I've probably heard most, if not all of your collabs - I always like hearing your stuff. I remember the recent one you did with Ray and that really turned out well.

Well, I'm glad you liked it Marty. To make a whole album though? Considering the speed I'm working at lately - that could take a loooong time!

The one and only Ezekeil' Storm! Great to hear from you. Thanks for giving it a listen. This was kind of out of my wheelhouse. I don't think I've ever written a drinking song before, so it was a stretch. I never would have done it without David's encouragement.

Thanks for the critique Ray. I agree with all you said, just not sure I'm experienced enough to fix it. I was trying to keep the song a little shorter which led to the non-stop vocal. There was a lot of sibilants in this, and I attempted to cut it down some, but couldn't get them all, and I really don't know how I would add the air/top end, perhaps through the EQ? The bottom line is I just don't sing very well, so I do what I can, but am really just trying to get the point across in case anybody who does sing well would like to give it a try.
