This is a song I wrote a while back and never had a decent recording of it until today. Suggestions or critiques are welcome. It is a true story about a guy I knew as a kid. My parents owned a bar for a short time and Charlie would ride his bike to the bar. Thanks in advance for listening .

Hey Robby, it is on the soundclick link. Thanks for trying, I am still tweaking on it some but thought I would go ahead and put it up for some suggestions.

I like your tune, I would mix the drums up a bit more. And by up? I don't mean the volume. I mean I would try to add a few more fills/diversity.
 
Are you playing to doro? I have one and play it, love the doro..

I play everything on it ,the drums are Addictive Drums. I am not sure what you mean by doro,if you mean dobro there is not one in it. Thanks for listening and commenting, it is just a little tune that I will never do nothing with probably but you never know!

Love the Classic Country. Drums seem a little heavy-handed for the song, and definitely too much high hat. Lovely fills on electric guitar, and your voice is perfect. Also, what happened to Charlie? I couldn't figure it out.

Thanks Larry, I am definitely gonna work on the drums some more. At the end of the song the words are "The bike could do about 15, The car was doing 32" ,in other words he got hit by a car. The song is just something I wrote in a hurry with no intention of doing anything with it, just my mind rambling one day! I did have a guy that liked it enough he was doing it during his live show though. Thanks for commenting.

I was listening on laptop 1-inch speakers, and I couldn't make out the line before "...the car was doing 32." Come to think of it, I probably shouldn't have said anything about the high hat."

Great country. I thought the drums were a little out of context, they sounded like a rock kit and kind of didn't work for me, but otherwise it's really well recorded and mixed.
