Hehehe! I can relate Jim! My wife reminds me about my songs that "they're not all gems" :)

Richard, I get the back deck, the basement or the one bedroom to record. So I get the neighbor's listening to me practicing 20 times. lawnmowers, laundry noises... cats... ! lol  Thx for the comments, much appreciated! I tried to "keep it clean" but like my place in the gutter :)

You have the perfect voice for this song, sounds great adding it to my daily play list.

They have that make you hard, whip out the credit. You better patent that line! Or someone might stiff you and us it themselves. Ha ha, great stuff! Always "up" for a good song.

Like your comment Derek about wife asking about a song means highest quality and phrase= it doesn't stink as much as usual! There is no greater truth! I'm reduced to a small space on the patio. Tough when you want to be creative with background on a live video. Jim, sounds like you have similar issues with your wife appreciating your craftsmanship and playing! A good build represents a qualifying compliment, it isn't one of your is it? Us old guys just want to have fun!

Yup, I too came back for a 2nd listen. I get something similar from my wife sometimes about my builds.I usually keep them pretty crude on purpose but if I spend more time than usual and make a more "refined" looking one she'll say "I like this one - it isn't one of yours is it?"

Thank you AGP! I debated about adding some extra crunchy guitar but decided to keep it short and simple this time around. :)

Thank you Jim! You set a great example 'round here (as does Unc).  :)

Comment by Derek Rose on June 13, 2017 at 3:32pm

LOL Richard! She did ask if I wrote it since I think she meant it didn't stink as much as usual. :) Tho she said she liked it AND did wait for her to finish her extra noisemaking activities before hitting record this time (I'm learning) Ha! Thank you a bunch, much appreciate your comments (and thx for taking time for seconds!

Thank you, John. I had it in dropped D so left it for this song and the bass walks fell in naturally.
