Very nice - I hear some Mickey Gilley sprinkled throughout this one...

floyd,

I like country, I like country waltz's.
Hence you've got a real winner here.
Your vocals are powerful, and the harmony adds nice touch.
Your lyrics tell an awfully sad heartbreaking story.

The tinkelies sound good me.

I could not listen to this too many times, you are very convincing
with your vocals. I'd have tear in my beer.

Thanks for your hard work, and sharing with us!

I feel some Kenny Rogers and some Willie also.

Very nicely done,

Very nice tune and recording. I think I hear some Charlie Rich in there.

Nice job! Good vocals. Good old fashioned country sad song.

Guys - thanks for listening and for the comments. Obviously, no one does this type of song these days - the comparisons all being 30 (?) years back - Gilley, Kenny, Willie - and I had forgotten about Charlie Rich. The piano does sound a lot like his playing. It's nice to be able to "call on" John Jarvis when you need him....

Wow - you really captured what "real country music" should sound like. You hit all the marks - sad, booze, broken heart... - it's a 70s hit! What a fantastic hook line. I think this is great. And I too cheer BIAB. I gave my band off for a few weeks but I will be calling them back any day now.

Great work!

jpt3 - appreciate the comments. Guess you might say I'm "a few decades late and a dollar short"

Floyd,

I just took your style information and created _WALTZIN RT's with it.
Listened to that song so many times.

Am going to create a melodist with it and then try it on a song.

Appreciate your sharing and just love the song...Again.....

Nice slow country groove. I find it harder to mix songs of that tempo than any other. Good tears in the beer and saw dust on the floor lyrics also.

Mootsman - thanks for the listen. The only hard thing about ths one was getting the piano to "fit". The rest just fell into place.

seeker - glad that you could get something out of this. Keep in mind - the piano track is not necessarily meant for this style or tempo. I generated about 25 different version - the variety was amazing. Of those, I heard about 5 that had licks that I liked (thought were right for what I was after). From those 5, I picked pieces to come up with the final track....

I dont generally like country music. but this is the best thing I've heard here in a while! Your voice certainly suits the genre. Love the country break in the voice. Two woots!

Hi Floyd,

You sure know how to maintain "consistently excellent". I sat back, closed my eyes and just listened. It was great.

All the best,
Noel
