Scott ...
I had friend, now deceased, who lived in Houma, LA for many years. he then moved to France, his parents' home country. He spoke Cajun French more than English.
He was the drummer in a band I was in for about 15 years. He was a dear friend and I miss him so much. This took me back to those days. His name was Robert Loreau ... we always called him "Frenchy". He was like a brother to me. Thank you for the sweet, yet poignant, memory. It put a smile on my face and a tear in my eye.
A great song ... lyric, band, arrangement, and vocal. No way to go wrong with that! Would love to hear more original music from you.
Wishing you the very best. Be safe ...
Alan Alan, I lived and worked in that Houma/Thibodaux/Morgan City area for almost 20 years. Which is why several of my songs are about the people and the places of the Bayou State. I'm glad you enjoyed the song. And thank you for sharing the memory of your dear friend. Take care. Scott

Classic, classy and very sweet. Perfectly pared down band and a comfortable chorus and vocal make this such an easy sing-along...and that's just what I did on the second listen.
The Cajun side of my family was very much part of my upbringing (as much as a military brat can be upbrought by extended family). Those ties remain.
I like this a whole heckofa bunch.

Hi Olemon,
A pitty you make a song once a year...
This one was very nice! A bit Irish in the composition, a nice fiddle an a sweet story!
Pleasant to listen to.
Stay safe,
Hans

Thanks. I was trying to keep it simple, organic, maybe. BIAB gives us so many creative options, it's easy to over do it. I have to be careful about that.

olemon,
A darn shame you are good for about one a year . . . this was a fun listen—sweet country-folk waltz, one you can’t help but want to dance to. Well written, well sung and really well performed. Enjoyed this a whole ton!!!
My best regards,
Deej

Robert Glad you liked it, Robert. I have an affinity for certain RT's and those country fiddles are most definitely in the top 10. Enjoying your track, great Americana. Thanks for sharing! Thank you for listening. I appreciate it. olemon,

Classic folk? What a nice thing to say! Thanks. Awesome vocal and lyric. Backtrack was very cool. Loved the fiddle playing along with the vocal. Well done I'm glad you liked it. I feared the music and structure were too basic. Verse/Chorus three times, no bridge, etc. And so I was hoping the fiddle would generate some interest. Thanks for the spin and the kind review.

Great song and I loved this. I really like the nuances that you put into the vocals, which take it up a level. When you extend some of those notes selectively, it adds an extra bit of feeling. Everything works well here and nothing detracts.
