Man, that's nice. I wasn't either an Alabama fan or a Skynrd fan but that chorus really worked - gave a great sense of time. Love the bit about the trailer park. Our first place was two 10x10 rooms on the second floor of a church where they let us live rent free for keeping the place up. Maybe 25 years isn't quite enough though - It still seems pretty bad  This works real well - chorus melody is catchy and you're sounding strong on it. Scott

Louis,
I thought that was just beautiful...both lyrically and musically....very emotional delivered, as usual too, my friend. It made me get out my guitar and sing along....loved the chord progression there.....just a really nice song, for sure. I sure enjoyed it.

Another fine tune from you. Painted some pretty good pictures there. Performance was spot on, too.

Hi John, thanks for listening and for your prayers. I think I'm gonna change the 3rd verse. Still thinking about it.

Louis,
that's up to you of course. But I think that 3rd verse is a good time to fall in love. Switching 2 & 3 would put the chronology in order. I think it's a great picture painted around an outstanding hook and if you can improve it amen. But it's pretty good as is.
have fun,
John

Great song, wonderful tribute to your marriage and
the writing was tremendous. The music and singing was the topping on the cake. I hope you're proud of yourself.

Hi there Louis,
What an absolutely lovely song. Louis, there is just something so special about your songs and your singing...they always speak to my heart...they are just so pure and touching.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful song.
My thoughts and prayers are still with ShieAnn and your family.

H Louis,
Good to see you here posting. Sweet one.
"and we celebrate each year
the day that we met"
My husband and I still laugh about how we first met and we have celebrated our first date every year for 30 years. It's more important to us than our wedding anniversary. When it works, it works.

Hi Louis,
George Wallace may not be a great memory for everybody, but it's still a beautiful song, with great details, and your voice has never sounded more true.
Mike
Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice
-The Divine Comedy (Neil Hannon)
from the song "Songs of Love"
from the album "Casanova" (1996)

Thanks Ricki, ah that's romance, remembering your 1st date Mike, thanks for listening.. Yeah Old George was the 1st face I saw crossing over into Alabama, I'll never forget it, lol. I've since met several people that knew him pretty well. If he ever met you he never forgot your name or your kids names either.

Well, the trailer parks gone...... But I have to admit this is an improvement That's one of your catchiest melodies, I think! Our school beat Florida State today in their first meeting ever. In Tallahassee. With a freshman quarterback. Some days are truly sweet Scott
