Thanks, Dave. Yeah, Bill, always delivers just like a special guitar-playing friend of mine.

LOVE that title! And that idea...
Nice life-is-good song, And the perfect man to sing it!

About half way through the song, I was thinking the steel was an amazing match for the song, so I looked back to see what RT that was... Great job, Bill....

Excellent mix.

Thanks, tons, Floyd. Can anyone even imagaine life without music? Heck, even Beethoven heard music. Bill is quite good with many different instruments, much like yourself.

“Our song” has been the Animals’ “We’ve gotta get outta this place” due to our regrets of not heading to CO 20 years ago but your song is much happier. 😊

We love the country groove and your vocal fits it perfectly. Also, Bill’s pedal steel is oh so good! Love that snare pop too.
And the entire mix is excellent. Wide open with great dynamics … the kind we love.

Most excellent!
Thanks, Janice & Bud. You guys are in too good o' place to leave. At first I read CO2. Haha that's funny.

Lovely song, sweet narrative, warm, comfy arrangement and THAT VOICE.
Loved it.

Thanks, Ray. I have a lot of comments to share with Bill. Hey, the only one --other than a couple upright players on BiaB-- who I'd want replacing me on bass would be YOU.


Enjoy whatever happens!
