Did she get in on any of this wintery weather down here in TX? It's been in the mid to low 30's with rain, sleet and snow for the last several days.

Yeah.... her father in law was in the hospital there for triple bypass and that happened Friday, they had standby tix to fly out yesterday. the weather was getting worse, and they were bumped from the original flight at 11am.... the next at 2:50 had seats, but the 5pm was canceled due to weather and the folks on it got first dibs on the open seats..... they did manage to get 2 seats  at the very last minute and got home safely at 6:15 or so last night.... had that not worked out they would have likely been stranded there for several days.

She's a big history lover and we had visited there in the spring and took the time to go look at Dealy plaza and the book depository..... she was able to be there for the 50th and see it from the hospital close by ..... so that was the silver lining to the entire trip.

When I closed my eyes, I thought I was listening to Neil Young with the way you handled the vocals.  It is smooth and polished and ready for mass distribution (maybe Santa can help).  Very well done, Herb!

I just listened to the 2nd mix, and would echo the comments of Lynn....definitely a Neil Young vibe to it. Very nicely executed and crystal clear production. Oh, yeah, and would agree with the hot choc/whiskey comments from Walt and Kev!
 
Very nice indeed. 

Lynn: Thank you for the kind words. I sent this to Nashville songwriter's association for review and comments. The song was given a thumbs up and placed on the "Ones to watch" list .... no comments about needing to fix anything in the song which is a good sign and generally not the case for most stuff I send them. "Santa" shops for Christmas songs in June and July.... and most big artists either write their own tunes (more money in their pockets that way) or they do the old standards ( don't have to play royalties or license fees) so it's extremely difficult to get new and original Christmas tunes published. I know a publisher who handles nothing but Christmas music so he'll be getting a package in the next few weeks. You never know..... BTW, he passed on The Best Christmas.... which I thought absolutely rocked and also got a thumbs up from NSAI.
 
 
3Dmus:  Thank you for the comments

Don't think I could 'add' to the mix of praise for this work, +1 on everything!

I really liked the lyrics for this. But, that's why I like County, because they tell a story.
I gotta save up and get myself some BIAB, love those fiddle and steel sounds.
Good job!.

Oleman: thanks for the kind words...
 
Thatsastrat:  me too. I bought BB mainly for the steel guitar.... then I became addicted to what else it could do.

Very nice job on this! Everything sounds right where it should be. Nice vocals too!

great work... excellent writing & production...
