I composed this little ditty for my beautiful Brit friend, Hayley Oliver. I'm so proud of this little girl...she was just nominated Best Country Female Vocalist in Britain by BCMA for the fourth consecutive year. I don't think the fans (public) influences the voting but maybe ROG would know how the winner is determined.

I introduced Hayley to Isla (say EYE-la) Grant and, just possibly, there will be an album of duets in the future. Can you imagine anything more beautiful?

We'll keep our fingers crossed for Hayley!! This is a really sweet tune. Not sure what the BIAB played and if you played the guitar but it sounds great!! Love that sweet tone. Thanks for sharing!! Take care. Greg

A big +1 from me. I'd really like to know if you played that guitar yourself.

Greg and Guenter, thanks und danke.

Since I learned that Brent Mason can play so much better than I ever could, I've quit playing. Perhaps that is one down side of BIAB but I try to get everything I can out of the software. I learn new things with every BB session. Since I forget everything quickly, it's a real struggle to keep the strainer full, but a lot of fun trying.

Hi Don,
I really liked to song and wish Hayley all the best luck.
I really get what you mean about always learning something new each BIAB session. Since I only have time to write and produce a few songs each year, it seems like I'm always learning (and struggling) with the software

Great choice of RTs here Don. You still got it and I'm sure that she will smile when she hears this.

One small nit-pick, on Genre you have Country : bluegrass. I think it sounds more like a blues song!

Old friend, I'm often reminded about the genre goof but when I'm in SoundClick I always forget to edit it then when I realize it, it's not worth the effort to backtrack. lol

That was Brent Mason Soloist track found by clicking "Soloist" then, IIRC, the first Brent M soloist.

Wow that was cool Don, Brent sure can play, its just a pity we have to give him about 10 beers (regenerations) before he will play what we want him too.....lol

Great job Don.

Very enjoyable.

Don ...

Very tasty! You picked the perfect tracks for this. And the chord construction is perfect for a country guitar solo. Brent Mason is a heck of a guitarist and a really quiet and nice man. We totally loved our listen ... good work with BIAB, friend! We're keeping our fingers crossed for Haley. best to you, Don ...

Dear friends, this is starting to snowball! Now Thom Bresh, Merle Travis' son, locked-on! He likes it!

Is there a larger hat size than a ten-gallon sombrero? This one is becoming like a tourniquet around my forehead! I'm rapidly becoming "A legend in my own mind!"

I've proved, conclusively, that it's impossible to give love away without getting back tenfold. If so, that brands me the most selfish, self-serving bent, old, flatulent Irishman on the planet.

Interrogatory: At what point do I embarrass professional, well-known guitarists by saying: "Haha, chuckle, snicker (or Canadian equivalent) I fooled you, that's just a software program by my Canadian friend, Dr Peter Gannon, et al!" Nothing I hate more than neutering!

Seriously, thanks again, Peter, and your wonderful accomplices.
