I particularly like these lines:

I SANG EVERY NOTE
AND I FILLED THE WASTE BASKET
WITH ALL THE TRASH I WROTE"

Great stuff!

Thanks, Bob!

That's why I like your song despite your dreadful choice of string instruments.
A lot, to be honest smile

Ha, ha:) Thanks! This song wasn't bluegrass until I started trying out BIAB Styles and Real Tracks.

Very well written.
Very well sung. Always enjoy hearing you sing. Such strength and clarity. Perfect for this kind of song.
Nice use of BIAB. Also perfect for the song.

The mix sounds great. (No need to check the old one, just keep looking forward....).

Really enjoyed that, Scott.

Thank you, Floyd. Truly. That means a lot coming from you. I suppose my struggles have more to do with finding something to write about and then finishing songs once they're started. You, on the other hand, have written what, hundreds of good songs? I can only aspire to reach your level.
