Apologies to Willie McTell but here goes into O'Muck's project:...............

Full marks for getting in there but would it suit you better to go up a notch in the key dept... it sounds a bit low for you ?

[blueshome]

Well that's where it ended up - tuned the same as Willie, down at A. I must also say that the compression does me no favours as there is a lot lost and it really has come out muddy.

[Mr.OMuck]

I like it Phil. Sounds like you coulda been Willie's hillbilly next door neighbor.

[Mr.OMuck]

I now have a new set of lyrics and am working on the guitar part, which turns out to be a bit more complicated to play than what I imagined in my head. It's that way sometimes.  I love McTell's line about the banker's bonus or was that a new contribution?

[blueshome]

The banker line was mine - a contemporary allusion which I'm sure would have been just as true in McTell's day. Glad it slipped in fairly seamlessly.

[Mr.OMuck]

Love it!

[Richard]

Down to A from what?
