I put this together 11 years ago, before I even heard of BIAB. Most of the lyrics were written by Glynda Duncan.
I replaced some of the tracks this week but kept my original bass and guitar fills.

Drums: Southern Soul (edited)
Guitars: Steel 2544, Acoustic 825
Guitar fills and bass: Me

It may be a little slow for most ears and I appear to have lost the lyrics copy but it should be clear enough to follow.

Slow? No, one can get rather flamboyant with slow waltz. This song has a wonderfully flowing feel, and of course your vocal tells the story like no other could. Man, this is good. Simply very good. Your guitar work is really done well, and the bass is perfectly appropriate. That steel really adds a nice touch. Johnny Cash would love to do this song, but personally I'll say this is one the writer can do much better.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Vic...very pretty melody...you delivered it vocally so well...the BiaB tracks that you added were apropos for the melody and movement of the song...to those of us who appreciate ballads it certainly is not to slow...Glynda wrote some very poignant lyrics and your melody and performance of them was stellar...I really enjoyed it.

Hi there Marty.
You are very kind again. I'm no lead guitarist but I liked the sound I was getting.
I'd be shocked if JC could do it from wherever he is but it's a nice thought.

I think your song is neither slow nor boring.
3/4 has its own laws, even a (technically) slow song gets a drive that 4/4 doesn't have.
I like it and your vocals are very convincing.
The arrangement is good, the mix is good...there's nothing to complain about smile

Really nice, Vic, especially your vocal, the guitar fills and the lyrics. I listened several times, has a classic feel. Great work!

Thanks B.D.
That’s an interesting way of putting it but of course you’re right.
It’s about the dynamics.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Hey Vic. Wonderful song and great warm production.
It has a real Waylon Jennings feel with a touch of Mr. Cash.
Thanks for posting. Rob4580

This is an awesome song.
This would be a perfect song for the last Johnny Cash's album.
Also this is not too slow. I think it is the perfect time signature for this song.
Super vocal with outstanding lyrics.
Great guitar licks!
Super mix.

The arrangement is good...the guitar playing the lines n fills does well but sounds a little spanky/electric acoustic DI to my ears...just a little removed from the mix.
Lovely story.


Cheers
