Thank you, Steve. This was one of those songs that seemed to have a life of its own. Hopefully I will be gifted with another such writing experience. Guess I'll just have to keep writing. Oh the drudgery.

By the way... did you ever get your question answered re recording vs. automating faders in different programs?

Everything works, the playing, the very nice emotional singing, and the wonderful and uniquely different story.

I loved it...................
Thank you, Rich. You've always been honest and respectful with your critiques, and that has been very helpful in developing my chops. I like to experiment with different styles of music and approaches to writing. As I said to Steve, this one seemed to have a life of its own. It felt like a relationship (a good one). I recorded it in just two takes. Man that was sweet. Well, on to the next song.
