Good song UJ. Like that pot lid guitar too

LOL, Hound. Will fix that and thanks.

Thanks, Rich. It helps so much to sing in the right key. I don't have a big range, so I try to find the sweet key. Usually it is G, but it varies some.

Thank you Michael. I like those lyrics and sad story - in part because, 'There, but for the grace of God, goeth me.'

Uncle J -this song fits the timbre of your voice. ... a bit of high, lonesome going on.

I like it a lot.

Digging this a lot.

Says "solo and repeat last verse" when it's actually the first.

He must be drunk is what I thunk.

Hey, nice shirt.
