Hi Bob. Thanks for listening.

The Mic is new to me but not a new mic. It is a ribbon mic I purchased quite a while back off Craigslist and had never used previously. Wasn't sure it even worked. I purchased it along with a Presonus tube preamp. The preamp was my primary interest, the mic was included with the purchase. I did not use the preamp in this recording, already going through a Presonus preamp with the Audiobox.

I'm not where I can look at the mic to tell what the name brand or model number is at the moment. It came in a shoe box...

I'll check it later today and post the information.

Charlie

Bob, I examined the mic and it is a Nady RSM-2 Ribbon Mic that I used for this recording

Charlie,

I like this song a lot! In fact, this is my new favorite Charlie Fogle song! GREAT job on the vocals... you did the song justice, providing exactly the feel it needed!

I really liked the concept of dying a little at a time. Unfortunately, it creates a mental image of being tied spread-eagled over a fire ant hill. Not the way I want to die. wink

Much as I'd like to validate the Waylon Jennings comparison, I'm afraid this ol' music reprobate is not familiar with that artist. But based on the responses you've gotten from virtually everybody else, I have to believe you absolutely nailed his style!

The harmonica really does fit well as accent instrument. My only nit is that I think the song would benefit from a bridge or something else to break up the recurring pattern (which I like a lot)

A lot of people would have over developed this song, but I like the fact that you kept it minimal. As Noel said "two enthusiastic thumbs up!"

Hey Pat. Glad you stopped by for a listen.

As to the Die A Little at a Time, the comparison in the deep south is to 'pine away' over a lost love.

Now, regarding Waylon Jennings, you probably know more about him than you are aware.

One, his first claim to fame was as a Cricket in Buddy Holly's band. He was the bass player and famously gave up his seat to Big Bopper on that ill-fated flight the night the music died.

Two, Waylon is the original Nashville Outlaw. He is the pioneer of the movement being the first performer winning the rights from the publishers, executives and producers to write and produce his own albums in the Nashville conglomerate.

Three, he was the narrator of the original Dukes of Hazzard TV show and also wrote and recorded the Dukes of Hazzard theme song - Good Ole Boys.

If you listened to any country back in the day, you may recall his song with Willie Nelson, "Mama Don' Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys". Other hits are "Amanda", "Good Hearted Woman" and "Lukenback, Texas".

He was inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001.

Trivia: This is the first 'real' song written by me. Did it around 1968. Musically speaking, at that time, a bridge was something you drove a car over a body of water in my mind. Also, a fourth chord in the progression wasn't happening either.

Technically, I had a song copyrighted in my name in 1958 by a cousin of my Mother's. He was a professional song writer and I thought that was cool. I bravely told him I was a songwriter too. He had me sing my 'original song' to him and a few weeks after our visit, I received a manila envelope with a lead sheet and US copyright of my 'song' in the mail as a gift.

Thanks for listening and glad you liked the song. I'll probably keep using this old microphone - Surprised at the good vocals comments but my wife (sometimes a brutal critic) said they were good too.

that mic is definitely a keeper!

I appreciate the lowdown on Mr Jennings... you're right.. I had more awareness of him than I realized.

The bit about him narrowly escaping a spot in music history due to the plane crash was news to me.
