My gut is telling me to add more slide to the end...so I will. Yeah it does jump up and grab you in the middle there. As I told a good friend yesterday, I only wrote 3 verses to a 4 verse song, so had a middle verse for an instrumental break. Intended to have a harp solo there, but belatedly realized I didn't have an Ab or C# harp in my stash. So, the slide bit was born.
Man, you got me figgered out! I came THAT close to adding one more slide riff for the outro, but decided the soundscape was getting a little crowded,,and it might cover up the words. Now you got me thinking I should have listened to my gut, as usual. May hafta add it for version two, since the album still lacks a few songs. Yeah, that lyric was inspired, but it's damned hard to spit out at this tempo, hehe. Glad you enjoyed it. I am really digging your boxgrass evolution.
Thanks for your kind words turtlehead. I've been inspired by so many of the folks here and have had my creative horizons expanded so much by looking at and listening to what others are doing. One day I'll learn to do that video multi track thing like you did on Boxgrass!
Figured out the problem, I guess I had comments only allowed by friends so I changed it so anyone can. Got any music by your friend? Im curious to hear haha
