A little song to Penelope on our Anniversary. All BIAB except for a little rhythm and 2nd guitar. https://90dbband.bandcamp.com/track/the-little-thingsThe Little Things ©2015 Robert Randall Burke An old guitar And a beat up car Just a couple dreamers Wishin' on a star We were young and blind But the world was kind I never thought We'd ever get this far. It's the little things The little things That can make a pauper Feel just like a king It's the little things The little things That make the biggest difference in the world. Smoky cabarets California days Singin' for our supper In the small cafes We were young and free You completed me And saved me from my Restless outlaw ways. Title: The Little Things File:The Little Things.SGU Key=C , Tempo 67, Length (m:s)=3:02 No intro. 47 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 47. Repeat x1 chorus No Melody No Soloist track.

HI Bob ...
Happy anniversary to you and Penelope!!!
This reminds me of something Ed Bruce would have done in the late 80's. His voice is deeper than yours, but you have a lot of similarities otherwise.
Pretty song! Simple but enough of everything without a lot of stuff to distract from the great vocal and the message. We loved it!

A terrific write, Robert...
You are a master at painting perfect pictures in so few words. This fits our story as well as it does yours (though ours took place on the East Coast - Florida to Philly)...
Happy Anniversary!
How about letting Penelope play bass on one of these?.... (does she sing???)
I like it!

Nice song. Good story there.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

It's a great day when all the little things come together -
Both in song and in life.
No little thing here, just another top notch song.
Happy Anniversary.

Hi Bob.
Another country classic!
Great choice of instruments and I always like the way you get so much emotion into the vocals.
Perfect arrangement and mix.

"It's the little things The little things That can make a pauper Feel just like a king It's the little things The little things That make the biggest difference in the world."
Amen....something the two of us have lived for 35 years.
This is a wonderfully arranged, produced and sung tribute that we both enjoyed...a lot.
