Hi Buddy,

Very nicely done. Your transition from finger picking to strumming was great.

Thanks for posting

Bob

Great playing and singing. Controlled and measured.

Nice to see you back in the saddle, Buddy.

Appropriate lyrics.

Bud- good job but may I suggest that the tempo is way too slow. Michael Martin Murphey's version is slow and methodical but I think you are getting bogged down a bit.

Beautiful song and definately his best. Good effort overall! I enjoyed it! :cheer:

Great to hear things are settling Buddy. Your studio in the Barn reminded me of this Graham Nash story about Neil Young

"I once went down to Neil's ranch and he rowed me out into the middle of the lake -- putting my life in his hands once again. He waved at someone invisible and music started to play, in the countryside. I realized Neil had his house wired as the left speaker, and his barn wired as the right speaker. And Elliot Mazer, his engineer, said 'How is it?' And Neil shouted back..."

"More Barn!"

Oh and very nicely played mate.

Hey Buddy,

Yes I agree with the good response, nice control ... can I throw a wildcard at you ?

Around the 1:35 mark, you set into the first chorus with chords, but might you agree that you since you do something similar in last chorus, the whole song might have even more flavor if the first chorus was (mostly) fingerpicked but keeping the same vocal emphasis you do already ? The second chorus with full chords maybe would be a greater blast. Just a thought.

Good stuff,
Pierre

Chas, that was great "More Barn" had me LOL.

Brad, thanks for the feedback, yes as a rider I really enjoy this song.

Pierre, great idea on how to change this song up for a little variety, thanks.

Willem, Sue and I have talked about having her join me in a video when she is felling a little stronger. She has a very nice voice and it would be fun for you to meet her that way.
