You had me with the word "Americana", on of my favorite genres.

That is some sweet guitar playing and a fabulous tone, a beautiful light touch. Very elegant and melodic. And that is a really hip chord progression.

I really enjoyed your tune. Fantastic.

Cheers,

Frank

Thanks a lot Frank for your super comment, made my day - very pleased you like my tune!!
The brain and fingers are not young any more (nearly 72), so it's great you thought my guitar touch was ok!

Hope you continue to enjoy Americana - I love it.
Cheers Frank, all the best from the UK. Carl

I can really relate as I am 74, but I must say your touch on that axe is fantastic. Absolutely perfect chops in this song. Your slide work is excellent also. Plus as a bonus you play keys equally well.

You are a multi-talented musician!

Very nice all round.

Hi Mike B, Mario and Peter - thank you so much for your super comments, really glad you like my tune and playing.
When you get to this ripe old age, you do begin to wonder whether everything still works ok (I mean fingers & brain of course) - your comments are very reassuring!

All the very best from the UK. Carl

I didn't spot the slight distortion in V1 - here's a link to a hopefully clean V2:

Sweet tones. Nice mix. Very easy on the ear.


My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile
