LOL.... It's November 15th already?

congrats on being first. did you write and record this in three hours?

I like to be early for some things.... but yeah..... the point is wait so everyone else has the time and opportunity to get their songs done.... then we all post in that time window.

from the OP " You can post earlier if you have it ready but generally, no sooner than November 15. We want them all posted at about the same time. "


cool tune though...

Oops!

My apologies never read the original post correctly blush

Ah well

Yes I wrote and recorded this in 3 hours (can't you tell smile )

Although it doesn't include a holiday it tells about winter coming, which I thought would be ok.

Hi George,

I love what you've done with this song. Quite honestly, I'm sitting here at the moment green with envy that you can whip up something as good as this in 3 hours!!!!!! I'm stunned. This is absolutely my new favourite "George Nelson / Mikee" song.

All the best,
Noel

Hi, George !:))

This was a most interesting tune !:))
It really has that minor feel in it
that gives us the hint of the forecoming
cold and dark times !:))


Cheers

Hi Noel,

Thank you for taking a listen.

You will know that sometimes he just taps you on the shoulder and Hey Presto! a song just happens, well that was what happened to me.
I have no idea where it comes from (which sounds very strange) but, that was the way this song came to life. confused

I admit that at other times if I try to force a song out it just will not happen, go figger!

George - I keep trying to listen - but Soundcloud is acting up on yours - and yet, I can play others. I sure wish they would get that fixed! I'll try again later....

Great song, loved the mandolin!
Really enjoyed your voice and the idea of your song…

…today my car was covered with ice – definitely a Frosty Morning! ;-)

George,

It finally played for me. Usually does eventually. Can't figure out what the cause (or fix) might be.

This is really well done. A tight lyric. A good vocal. Nice choice of RTs. Very good mix. One of your best!

Very nice kinda like Ian Tyson.

Cool song. Got a bit of a Guy Clark groove to it. Nice mandolin track also. I gotta mention that it's 80 outside at the moment so I may have to come back and listen again.

Good song George, ya been away too long.

PS: Thanks for the bump as I missed it the 1st go round.

Merry Christmas,

Hi George...

We're the new kids on the block...this is our second day here...and enjoying the fabulous music.

The chop mandolin with the Merle/Chet sound on the rhythm guitar was a perfect match. that's real nice reward for three hours of hard work! We loved it! best to you and Merry Christmas...

Hi wade lillico ,

Thanks for taking a listen, much appreciated.

Perhaps the song would be more appropriate if instead of 80 degrees it was -2 as it is here. smile

Thanks for taking a listen.
