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!

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

Now Floyd, ol´friend !
I do not really know how
best to answer your
most kind comments and
warming words ! A simple
thank you just does not seem
good enough :))!!
In any case it feels good
to read of your candid love
for this genré that includes
many absolutely wonderful songs !
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.
