Song For Dianna. Rough Demo

Hello all.
 
Here is my first song posting. It's a rough demo of my new song I wrote for my life partner, Dianna.
It has Travis picking and some harp at the intro.
 
I will post the full song when I finish it.
Comments and feedback are very welcome. I recorded this in Sonar X1c, using my Takemine G-Series acoustic guitar, recorded through my Rode NT-2 Mic, I also recorded the vocals and harp the same way.
You can hear that it's very Dylan inspired!
 
Hope you all enjoy it!
 
Tones..

    Hi Tony, this certainly Dylanesque ; ), Nice Vocals, guitar sounds very thin though. If I may make a suggestion about your Travis picking, I wouldn't play the melody notes twice throughout the song. I personally play my picking pattern on the g and b strings, with alternating basses, and keep the e string for my melody notes, gives it a bit more swing.; )

    Hi Rik,

    Thanks for sharing your tips, always helpful. I was thinking about the recording, didn't aim the mic close enough to the sound hole, which is why it was a bit thin. Thanks for the tip about the picking too!

    Tony,

    Nice song, and, very Dylanesque, except you're a better singer;)  Dianna will love it...
