I've always liked David Lindley ever since I heard him on Jackson Brown's album Running on Empty. The original part BB gave me was a distorted steel guitar but I let RB generate a slide which after comparing the two.... I liked the slide a bit better.

Thanks for the compliment on the twins and the playing. Glad you liked this tune.

Thanks Torrey.... So the vocal FX chain.... it's simply the Sheppi Widener. I slipped it in there on the master which is where I normally use it if I'm going to use it.... but for some unknown reason, probably just to move it to check a dry master sound without losing the settings..... I dragged it to the vox buss and left it there.

That's one of the great things about our country & this forum.

Thanks Jim. Many of the great songs of the 60's that many of us grew up with were political protest songs. No one seems to be writing them much any more.

The music is cool also. It is not that I agree or disagree with the point of view. I just like the idea we should be able to protest anything we like with music and video.

This is the sort of stuff that I find very entertaining to listen to here on the forum. Plus, Guitarhacker is a good guitar player.

By the way, I'm with furry, I don't live in England but I am also a bit sick of the hearing about Brexit. Get in or get out, but just close the damn door...lol

Cheers,

Billy


Someone once told me..... One thing about you, people are gonna know where you stand on something.

Nope... never fear being ostracized. You have to be willing to put it out there and let the chips fall where they will. That's how you find out who your friends are.

Glad you enjoyed the music.

I was kind of thinking I wanted this to kind of sound like Neil Young's Rocking in the free world. Neil tended to write a lot of protest songs and songs that looked at the harder side of life. Glad you picked up on that feel, in it.

I feel like there's more than a few politicals on cartel payrolls.

You'd think people would like a doer instead of just a talker

A number of predecessors talked a big game about border security,

unfair trade agreements, Jerusalem, jobs, North Korea, minorities, etc., etc., etc.

and never made a move, didn't even pick up a phone and try.

Musicians, actors, and artists are usually by nature anti-establishment

and, or liberal.

I like a doer, I like what I see and not the gossip of perversion,

scrutinizing every step of a man now when it wasn't done before.

I'm a conservative Texan, a christian and probably now considered

to be a lot less cool on this board. Build the wall, slow down the inflow of drugs.

If Mexico was smart, they would've paid for (Up Front) and built the wall,

look at what they're having to deal with. I feel for hungry and desperate people,

there are ways to help them there or even to get here.

Sorry Herb, enough complaining from me,

It's an anthem! excellent twin guitars, very nice playing

a good mix.

Enjoyed!

Kenny



Thanks Kenny. Glad you enjoyed this. I like that song you have up too.

Good to put money where your mouth is. Mexico will pay for the wall, probably tolls to get across after the wall is up. Heck all the money we save will more than pay for the wall. Not to mention it's been promised for 30 years by most of the politicians who only made promises but never kept them as they were either too impotent or even worse a part of the corruption. Good song and thanks having the guts for posting. I can't tell you how many times I've had to sit and listen to a Bash the Current President song.
And I am an artist and a musician, so we're not all lefties.


Yep... I was thinking of NY and RITFW ... one of my favorites by Mr Young,,,,, and one of the few cover tunes I have recorded using BB.

Thanks. We can all be uncool together.

Anyone ever found one's self in the midst of a cultural shift, a time and place of changing emphasis, attitudes... heck it can be triggered by something like a new big company coming to town, or anything like that. Naturally, we think, oh, yeah, the 50's the 60's the 70's or, what do you say, the here and now.
I have. At the time, I recall a lot of activity among some who
would capture the spririt of the thing with what we might call "the anthem."
If we think about it, examples abound. Lee Greewood's "God Bless the USA."
Good to be in the company of an anthem writer,

It's a conspiracy I tell you.... maybe there's another song in THAT concept.... If i disappear, I didn't go willingly.

Glad you loved the song.

Herb,

Let me see if I get what you are saying here.

You are saying that no matter how big and high they build the forum wall, you will climb over it with your Telecaster and your pod, and do some old school gunslinging no matter what anyone says, and to heck with the Real Tracks, and the President says that's ok?

I had a hard time figuring out what you were trying to say this time, but maybe I got it right.

Well, there's only one Herb Hartley, that's for sure!!
