Thanks, Mike. Very cool of you to take the time!

Actually, I think he and his band, Too Little Time, have been practicing it to play it live. So I'll make sure he sees this.

I'll pop it into Audacity and experiment with the tempo. It won't sound very good but good enough to see what is most appealing. I don't know what tempo they are planning on using....

My concern was the reference to chewing tobacco. I wrote it with nothing in mind but getting down the images in my head. Later, when we started to push it a bit, I began to wonder if that would be a problem.

Really appreciate you lending your ears and suggestions!

Scott

EDIT: I read your "smile" trick on here awhile back and have been using it. Yes, it works. If it doesn't sound like it on some song I post, well, you won't hear the one where I wasn't smiling. smile
