Hi, Rob and Anne-Marie !:))
I am truly thankful for your most kind words !:)) Well, country or no country, I must say I do not really know but the style is called country rock ? (LOL) ! Being un jubilado I do not take matters of form too seriously anymore (lol) so I guess my "countryversial" experiment is over for the time being !:))
Cheers Dani

Hi, Horst !:))
Much obliged by your helpful attitude !:)) I do not have a harmony machine, I always sing the harmony voices myself, don´t even know what a kind of machine that is ?(LOL) ! I am grateful for your advice, but it might be good for you to know that this is not my genré at all, I normally prefer popjazz !:))
Cheers Dani

We enjoyed the listen Dani. BIAB is all about fun and the opportunity to experiment.
We would love to see the mountains of Norway. My genealogical DNA testing shows that I have more matches from Norway than any other country.

Well, dear friend !:))
You know, I do not consider myself nor a country singer nor a composer of country tunes ! I probably could write something using 1 4 and 5 etc. but I have to confess that I am more in for Bacharach type of chording !:))
In any case Herb, I do appreciate your very kind words regarding this embryonic tune !:))
Cheers Dani Well Dani, everything Herb said is true. But the good news for you is he could post the same comments for every song that is on the American radio top 20 country playlist today. The better news is there is plenty of room for your Bacharach type of chording, arrangements and especially your wonderful baritone vocal and real harmonies in country music. There is also some history of it. Note that I'm not implying that Herb said otherwise. I'm just providing different examples. If you decide to take another embryonic jab at country (and I hope you do) check out songs by Jim Reeves, Eddie Arnold or Rex Allen Jr. They all did some fairly sophisticated arranged songs though the chord progression was simple. Here is Eddie Arnold singing a song that also was recorded by the likes of Elton John, Roy Clark, Andy Williams and Glen Campbell, to name a few. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adJWr9u-wowCharlie

I like your venture into Country, Dani!... "Helsinky Country" as Bob says... I grew up listening to Country music. Glen Campbell was my first and foremost musical influence. Was he Country? You bet your bottom dollar! So... to have that comparison is one heck of a feather in your Country cap! (Glen's career in a nutshell) Academy of Country Music 1967: Single of the Year – Gentle on My Mind 1967: Album of the Year – Gentle on My Mind 1967: Top Male Vocalist 1968: Album of the Year – Bobbie Gentry & Glen Campbell 1968: Top Male Vocalist 1968: TV Personality of the Year 1971: TV Personality of the Year 1975: Single of the Year – "Rhinestone Cowboy" 1998: Pioneer Award Country Music Association Awards 1968: Entertainer of the Year 1968: Male Vocalist of the Year Grammy Awards 1967: Best Male Country Vocal Performance for "Gentle on My Mind" 1967: Best Country & Western Recording for "Gentle on My Mind" 1967: Best Vocal Performance, Male for "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" 1967: Best Contemporary Vocal Performance, Male for "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" 1968: Album of the Year – "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" 2000: Grammy Hall of Fame Award – "Wichita Lineman" 2004: Grammy Hall of Fame Award – "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" 2008: Grammy Hall of Fame Award – "Gentle on My Mind" 2012: Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award 2005: Country Music Hall of Fame induction Thank goodness Jimmy Webb was never instructed to stick with 1,4,5!!! Here are the chords to Wichita Lineman: Gm7/Bbmaj7/Am7/Gm7 Dm7/Am7/G/D Am7/G Gm/D/Asus4/Bb And what incredible HARMONIES! No machine or software could do that. You are an original!!! floyd

Hi, Janice & Bud !:))
I am really glad for your warm words !:)) If you Bud have Norwegian matches in your DNA you should go there without doubt ! Mind me saying it is the most beautiful country on earth !!!:)) How you have been able to go on without brown goat´s milk cheese (Gudbrandsdalsost) and kransekake is a mystery to me ?? (LOL) !! Americans use to say that the whole country is a National Park and indeed it is !!!:))
Cheers Dani

Hi, Charlie !
You are just too kind with me but know that I do appreciate your most nice words truly much !:))
When it comes to country I know that many country singers do sing a much larger repertoire than what ususally defines as country. I have done many Jimmy Webb and Jim Reeves songs as covers but naturally I cannot post them here !:))
Cheers Dani

Dani, First country tune? Dang! Nice job. Thanks for posting. I noticed you used a Zoom H4N as a mic. That piece of equipment got me back to writing and recording again. I still use it at the piano when I make my first sketch of a song. Really versitile device. SD
