Hi Linda, thanks for your low country twang voice for this one. Just perfect on the harmonies as well. Is alway a challenge trying to synch vocal timing with Willie as one measure he can be one beat behind and the next, on beat ahead. But I think we both got it close ! Sounds great and thanks again. I was hoping for Steve D on the lead guitar, but I think he retired from BH...so got to figure that out to get across the finish line with this one. Have drums on the way too.

I added some light piano toward the end. There were stinkin' synch problems big time. Did it over several times and still had the problem. I worked with it for a long time and I think I got it pretty close and saved my mix. See if it's okay and apply it if you want. I'm sorry it took me so long! I like the way the song sounds and hope the piano works with it.

Michael...I know those mid song starts can be hard to synch. I only had to tweeked it slightly and boosted the audio a little. Thought it sounded really good and like the "light touch" and improvising you did. I'm waiting for Steve D to fill in some of Willies fine picking, but think he may have checked out of Band Hug? Anyway hope to get this one across the finish line in the next few weeks. Thanks for adding your talent, always worth waiting for.
