It starts with the title
Very good. Now this track is fantastic. Mike some fine writing and both of you the vox is tops. The Dobro and fiddle are a perfectly played. What more can I say? Holly mighty fine work here. Thanks.

nice tune
I love the playing a lot! the recording is a little odd, as the dobro sounds like it is a bit distorted, like the mic is too close or something, as it sort of pops a bit when he's plucking it a certain way. And Mike's vocal is a little muffled or something. Your harmony vocals have a lot better quality sound and that points up the deficiency in the lead vocal quality. And the fiddle being panned so off to the side seems a bit unnatural for an acoustic song like this. Nice fiddle playing though! Nice playing all around and I'm only being a bit overly critical in case you wanted that sort of input. If you don't, then just ignore me! hehe

Thanks Jim!
We do appreciate helpful constructive feedback. Since Mike lives on the West coast and I live on the East coast we did this collaboration all via the web. He has a Mac Computer I have a PC and still trying to figure out how to best approach the final mix to balance everything out. We are going to try to remix this and repost soon. Holley :)

Thanks Mark!
I had put the fiddle down 20+ years ago and just started picking it up again. Mike's song forced me to really practice to get my rusty playing into shape. I mostly played classical but really want to grasp more of the blues/jazz and bluegrass fiddle styles. Holley :)

What Jim said
This would be perfect if the fiddle wasn't so far to the right and Jim's vocal clarity matched yours. Maybe it's just more pronounced in headphones. Great vocals and playing. I really like this style and you do it so well!

Thx IGM
I agree about the fiddle. just getting back in the swing of it again after putting it down so long. but Mike has inspired me with his music to pick it up more often.
