GREAT job on the vocals! Those guitar fills are nice, too. Is there anything you can't do???

Nice one!

Hey Peter - good job with the vocals and guitar licks!

One of the things I like doing when listening to others’ songs on the forum is looking out for cultural artefacts. It might be a word, pronunciation, a place name etc. In your case, despite the southern country twang you have going, I noticed the word ‘crisps’ at bar 35 - 1’50”, which others would know as ‘chips’. I say this because I have to be careful about mentioning ‘thongs’ (flip flops) in my songs. 😳

Well done!

Pete, no need to apologize for the guitar, it was fantastic.
Outstanding vocal
Great backing band
Super mix
Country music at its best
loved it


I arrived early to a restaurant.
The manager asks, "do you mind waiting a bit?"
I said no.
"Good", he said. "Take these drinks to table 3"

Thanks Andrew, as regards the use of the word crisp it refers to crispy fried chicken!!! Lol

Hey Bob, thank you for your comment. So glad you enjoyed the track. I've only really been playing what I call, 'fiddly guitar' for around 8 months although I've been playing rhythm guitar for many years (poorly I might add!), so I appreciate the feedback👍

Pete

Hi Pete,
I don't usually watch youtube vids but I had my youtube safe device open and thought I'd check out your song. I agree with the others. Your voice sounds awesome. And it's a pleasant melody and band. Sort of made me hungry too! Really pleasant wrap up at the end too.
