Very, very nice, Sal!

Now, if you would, please post "She's No Lady (She's My Wife)" -- by Lyle Lovett.

You guys do a GREAT job on that song, too . . .

Richard

Yes, that's the one that I was referencing -- great cover!!!!

If I may -- and this is merely another guitarist adding a 2% improvement to an already great cover -- if you guys will increase/emphasize the palm muting a bit more, it will make an already fantastic cover even better. Again, no criticism whatsoever, just hopefully a suggestion that is taken in the helpful spirit intended: that song was written as an "in your face" song -- probably written in jest and funny as heck -- so the palm muting, IMO, will help incrementally.

[I just listened to it once again and I think that I figured out what I meant. The guitarist on the left (I'm assuming that is you) is doing EXACTLY what the song needs). But the "lead player" is playing wide open (when he isn't playing lead) and on open chords. What he needs to be doing is playing barre chords during the singing and providing additional rhythm by muting the chords AS SOON as he hits the chord -- sort of a "chuka, chuka sound) to accentuate your singing. Think Neil Young and Cowgirl in the Sand or many of his other songs -- THAT'S the effect that I'm "trying" to describe.]

That's a great guitar sound you have on that recording. Whole song is great, but the recorded strumming is fat and very dread.

Sal,

I was not familiar with that tune, and when I saw your thread title my first thought was you were leaving the AGF! I'm glad you are still with us

Wonderfully done on both numbers. Your vocals are very evocative of both Tom and Lyle without sounding like you are forcing it. Very nice!
