It sounds like an old song . .

Damn, Rick, you're a pretty good singer!!! The steel almost sounds like a pedal here and there. So tell me, do you serenade the mrs.? |

Thanks Ron. Yes I do, but not with that song!
Every year on her birthday I treat her to my rendition of "Young And Beautiful" (the Elvis song) She's still here, so I must have picked the right tune . . . |

Rick...that has all the ingredients for a HIT ! Hope you get a break and make it big. Nice to hear 'purdy' steel without a pile of reverb ! |

Rick,Great Song! I hear that it's currently #15 with a bullet on "Serious" Satellite Network's "Oldster's Channel." Not that I'm old or anything, but I did relate to it.....or did it relate to me? I forget....what was the name of that song again?

Great song Rick. Maybe a little too much steel guitar though. Where is the xylophone?Songs need more xylophones... yuk, yuk, yuk. Seriously- I loved it!

Here is a piece I wrote a few years ago with plenty of Xylophone in it - no Steel though. It's called "Beautiful Angel" . .You want Accordian? Banjo? Harmonica?
Just ask. My sordid past is catching up with me . . . [This message was edited by Rick Alexander on 05 February 2005 at 03:08 PM.]
