Thanks OCC. I wrote the song several years ago and revamped it. It was midi before Real Tracks. Gotta love RT's.

I like this one. Willy Nelson comes to mind. I think he'd do a nice job on this one. Nice work!

Nice song Marty! Message is kind of a bummer, but it's true to genre. Solid performance! You have a relaxed easy-listenin' vocal style. I assume you played the guitar solo in the middle... very appropriate. By any chance, were the strings played on your keyboard? or were they from a style? (if so, which one?)

all in all a very nice composition in every way.

Thanks guys. You are all too kind. Pat. The strings were on my keyboard midi (Ketron sd2) slow strings. I did the guitar solo.

Marty, it’s all been said, great backing tracks, super vox and outstanding mix. All I can add is super chops man! Love that guitar break! My only suggestion would be to replace your ending and have your guitar end the song. I think that would be the icing on the cake!

Super song and outstanding job!


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 Mario. I agree with you about the ending. I am going to change it. I have had mixed feelings about the "oboe" after listening to the tracks a few times.
Thanks
