Hullo Ray,
Thank you for that nudge.
I was a little concerned about it so now you've brought it up I have changed that part.
Maybe though I need to put an extra bar rest after it instead. I will ponder.

This has a sound straight out the heartland. You sing it with feeling and conviction. I really like the instrumentation. Bittersweet lyrics, specially that chorus. All sounds good to me.

An outstanding song.
Great vocal and lyrics.
Super guitar chops.
Great mix.

Really like the opening fiddles
That is a poignant lyric and melody
We could picture him sitting on a cabin porch way back in the woods
Nice open and supportive mix indeed.
Enjoyed it!

Cheers J&B. Yes, I could picture him there too but my image was a small, dingy room in a run down apartment block. A. cabin in the woods might be one step up from that Thanks for the improved habitat.  Vic

Simple, but touching introspective story. Very nice title that calls for an explanation and the listener has to ponder the answer.
The band supports very well, the fiddle is the backbone and that solo guitarist fits perfectly to the mood.
Enjoyed the vocals. Very pleasant singer-songwriter music, I wouldn't change a thing!
