Hi Rick, thanks very much for that... smile

Nope, not from Arkansas... German born and german bred... I used to work a lot for the American Forces back in the Fatherland, I've lived for a little while in Cananda and hung out in Nashville and Austin, but I've lived here on this crazy little island (Father Ted, anyone???...lol...)for some 13 years and countin'.

No better place, is all I can say - 'tis home now. smile

Well, that's what I mean - how DOES one class that kinda style? It's not really folk but not quite 'twangy' enough to be called straight country. Americana has a different feel to it, as well... I really wouldn't know what to call it, anymore... still... was Cash a country singer? (not that anyone thinks I'd compare myself - the man's my hero; well... one of 'em, for sure...)

The version of the tune there is a rough demo, and the takes aren't even cleaned up, I use something like this to get an idea what I REALLY want to hear in the song when I record it. And if it works as a song, in general.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who operates like this...

Michael smile
