Well here is my quickie, just recorded it live this afternoon, me & a Dobro & stuck a harmony over the top.

Sorry it's 1.29, I could have cheated & time stretched it exactly but I'm not that kinda guy!!!

Nice. Great little harmonies. The slightly tinny distant recorded acoustic guitar really works here. I know it is a quick recording but it really suits it as is! Thanks for sharing  ;D

it sounded pretty ordinary till the harmony comes in & then  it all came together & sounded realy great...very nice ...liked it a lot
i would never attempt a song without full electric backing  so this sort of thing always impresses me :)
Tell me Im wonderful & I ll be nice to you :)

Songsmith this is top notch! I love it

You are a very talented guy. Loved the guitar harmonies, everything.

There are some incredibly talented writers on these forums! It's ace  ;D

On a long car journey this would make it almost feel like the start of an adventure, infact this song is kinda like an adventure, slow, but you look forward to the next part i could see this being like a soundtrack to something, not sure what, but something pretty cool, all in all, good like aways
What if we both just smiled at once?
