Something new...

I apologize for my long absence and lack of comments.  It’s been a strange year.  My health is in perfect condition but I now have disk issue in my neck that has left me largely useless.   This has been brought to head over the past month.  Typing and mousing is the worst, followed by guitar playing.  I’m awaiting some further testing and possible surgery, right now I’m doing PT but right now any activity for a few minutes leaves my arms numb and tingling, my hands as well.
Not looking for sympathy, please no long comments on it, I just tell you by way of explanation.  I’m hopeful for PT and surgery but resolution and recover and no doubt several months away.  Not even one year into retirement.  Murphy!
But I had to do something, so I completed this song than had been in my head for a long time and finally came up with some light hearted lyrics that allowed me to finish writing it.  I did it in a lot of short sessions as I could (as I did typing this). 
Honest mix feedback please.   Thanks all.

Really nice job Daryl!  Love the vocals and solos especially.  Nice tones. 
 
 

Hi Daryl -- I wondered where you had been.  Sorry about your health issue and wish you a speedy recovery.  A lot of people that I know (including me) have come down with a health issue shortly after retiring.  Must be something about the body trying to adjust from the release of work-time stress ;>).
I really like this number.  It tells a great story and you have some nice guitar work going on.  Nice tones, timing, good production, and an interesting little surprise end.
Nice one!

Cool tune. Hope that pain in the neck gets better....
 
Nice picking and tone is classic.

Daryl, this song is just fine as is.  It's what I've come to expect from you-smooth guitar and singing with clever lyrics.  I wish for the best for you!

Thanks all.  So good to hear from you again.  Dan thanks much for the pointing to opportunities.  Forgive me  guys if I don't reply individually because typing is murder on my arms.  I did find that writing with a pen, just a couple of sentences will put my arm down for a couple of hours.  Doing traction on my neck, they upped it today and my neck and arms are numb and achy.  I can play for about ½ hour,  if I need surgery I hope I can get it soon.  My spring fishing is probably going to be lost recovering.  That's almost as bad as cutting out my playing.
 
I'll be listening to what you guys have been doing as I can muster what it takes to use the mouse.  Thanks again.  Hopefully summer will find me on the mend.  Herniated disk and arthritic bone growth... sounds like a song....
