But the small town memories of my younger childhood have always been precious, and some of those friends I still have. Small towns represent some good folks and Americana that many will never know.

I like your song's sentiment, good start. Nothing lyrically jumps out that doesn't feel right. I might rather here a 6 string acoustic than the Rickenbacker with this vibe for a more conventional sound--not saying you should, just might be a more neutral background for these lyrics. Get well, and re-do your vocals when you feel better, I could tell you have a cold--but maybe that's a small town thing? LOL.

Nice song Stevie!

Thanks for the feedback, Eddie. I've remixed and remastered the whole thing. I guess I ignored the most basic principle of production. I had ear fatigue and didn't give it a rest and do it with fresh ears. It sounded dull and lifeless so I brightened it up. Made it too harsh. No Ric on there though. It's my Epiphone Casino, another Beatle guitar on opposing tracks with different amps and strum patterns. I took some of the effects off those tracks to give a more natural sound. I think it's better now.
