Hi,

This is a  dobro/guitar tune I've been working on. I think ( hope ) it's done but I could be living in a fool's paradise...if you've got a few minutes give it a listen and let me know.

Thanks!

Impossible not to like a song with a dobro, AND a mandolin! My only complaint is, I had the buds in, and the volume all the way up, and I ripped them out of my head when it started and uttered an expletive of some kind. When I turned it down and listened again, it was a thing of beauty. And a thing of beauty is a joy forever...

Hi Gary, wow,wow,wow, this is fantastic. Great tune, pristine playing and mixing. What a way to start the day.

Nice tune.... guitars and mandolins.....and dobro's.   What's not to like.... it starts out country and switches to a light jazz for a time.... so very nice. 

A complete pleasure to hear. 

This will probably be nice when you finish it


Seriously, this is fabulous Gary.

The store has an awesome collection of dobros/resonator guitars.

I was in a store in Amsterdam that hand some resonated guitars? I don't think you ever could have cleaned that stuff off of them.

Lynn: Hi Lynn, thanks for listening and commenting. Glad you liked the tune. I appreciate your time and the positive feedback.
 
The Band19: Hi Robby, how are you? Great to hear from a fellow dobroist (is that a word?). Careful with those earbuds, though. They always fall out of my ears so I couldn't use them if I wanted to but I think it's always good to avoid sticking things in our ears...especially loud things  Thanks for listening...glad you thought it was a 'thing of beauty'.
 
Thatsastrat: 

Tell me you only used a 3 band eq and a
Radio Shack mic 

haha! Well, I am a low budget guy but I did upgrade from my Radio Shack mic recently...Thanks for the listen and the kind words, Bruce. Always great to hear from you.
 
Rikkie: Hey Rik. Thanks very much! Glad I could get your day off to a good start
 
drumstixkev:  Hi Kev, sorry to hear you missed the opportunity to pick up the Wetcher but I don't think it's sign you shouldn't get one...it's just a sign you shouldn't WAIT to get one There are lots of good, affordable brands out there and I'm sure you would pick it up quickly. Also...when were you in Nashville? I live in Nashville...I wish I had known you were visiting...anyway, let me know next time you're in town and thanks, as always, for listening and for the kind comments.
 

I missed this one until just now...
Gary, I'm always amazed by your performances and productions... this is so fine... I'm in awe...

Great tones and superb playing - no surprises there really.

Must get boring being so good ;)

Wow - this is fantastic. It's like aural honey. So smooth.
On a technical note, do you have a booth?
It sounds as though it was recorded in a padded cell in outer space.

The Band19:

Must have been from all the 'smokin' guitar solos?
 
Janet: Thank you! I agree...Fool's Paradise does seem like a good name for a song...haha! I'll race ya' to see who can come up with a song first...
 
notnat: Hi Frank. Thanks very much, man. It's always gratifying to hear from a musician of your caliber. Much appreciated. 
 
paulo: Hi Paulo. Thanks for checking out the tune and for the kind words. I don't usually get bored, by the way, because I'm too busy going back to fix my screw ups so I can fool people into thinking I play better than I actually do
 
Scottytunes: Hey Scotty. How are ya'? Great, as always, to hear from you. Glad you liked the tune and I appreciate the positive comments on the arrangement and performances.

haha! I love that. No booth...just the corner of a spare bedroom but, man, the idea of a padded cell in outer space is strangely appealing, for some reason. Thanks for listening and for the kind words.
 
Makke: Hi Makke. Thank you! Glad you liked the tune.

love this :) very Allman Bros meets Grateful Dead (when the Dead were 'on') 

guitar tones are marvelous 

ABeautifulVirus: Hi Daren. Thanks very much. Allmans/Dead isn't a comparison that I'd have thought of but, as a fan of both bands, it's a huge compliment to me and I appreciate it.

evadianepug: Hey Warren, how are you? Hope you've had a great Summer and that 'Life Is Good'! (see what I did there?). Thanks for stopping by and checking out the tune. I'm glad you liked it. I look forward to hearing some new Pugtones music soon.
