Good song; as usual, I'd like to hear it recorded. Speaking of getting the chord placement right, how did you? I tried to Edit on Southern Rain and put in chord placement. I spaced between where they were supposed to go, but when I submitted the edit it crammed them all together. Erik

I used tab and space to move the note over on it's own line. It looked fine on the pre-page or 'comment' section. Then it went all to hell on the final post. So's I guess, to answer your question, I don't know.

That's not a criticism. Is it 4/4? 2/4? This is one of those where I get most of the sense of it, but not all, but I like it all the same. There are some very good lines in this one.

I'm thinking songs should be a tad elusive, but not too much though. People like to dance and tap their feet and clear their cluttered minds to music. Damn, I don't want them to think any harder than they did all day. It's time to kick-ass back. I like it when a song moves along with me, ya know, though though the years. The Band has done that for me. Don't matter what my emotions are or what year it is, they are there. signed, obleio

I love the line: Our troubles are different, but the pain is the same. , just love it. It puts the whole thing in perspective. Draws us all in. We don't have to be a gun slinger to know what it means to be in a place, not of our choosing, that requires us to defend out interests at the expense of someone elses.

Flake, I did have trouble with the timing. It is intended to be 4/4. I took out the third line of each verse and it seemed to help with the word-flow-timing and didn't disrupted the story too much. But, still, I'm stumbling a tad. Marshall, thanks.

In the spirit of Cash, I'd be tempted to say, not sing, "so farmer lower that rifle" at the end of the song.

In a Larry McNurtey sort of way, and I really like Larry McNurty. It took me a second to adjust to the time and place setting, but that's no fault of the song. I'd like to hear it too.

I'm starting book four now, and am bummed that that's ending the series. I won't spoil the read, except to say what you already know, that Lord Berrybender blowing pieces of himself off isn't slowing him down on his hunting. Oh, and I'll fix the spelling. Didn't have the book in front of me.

But dang, for him it was a good day to die. He died good. Had himself some fun in life. I'd like to go like he did, having fun. The selfish sonofabitch almost ended up my hero.

Good ending of him, though. You know, I really like your song, and it's too late, but I keep looking for a mention of fences. Barbed wire ended the old west, you know. Is there a way you could record this and mail it to me? I could at least convert it to an mp3, then forward it on to Gypsy or Marshall and we could all hear it. I know I'd really like to hear it.

I never really liked cables, wires, on/off buttons and such, so I never got into midi or mp3 stuff. I'm quite ignorant in that area and this dog ain't gettin' any younger. Perhaps I'll post a request in the recording board for a quick-cheap-EASY computer-type of recording. As far as barbed wyre and fences go... I don't know. I think Flectcher/Porter covered that purdy well in "Don't Fence Me In". Which I love to play and sing. So I get my fence fix in that song. Thanks for the request, it made my day!

And I'm left with a recording that didn't quite meet my expectations. It was a surprising shock at how crapola I sounded. I'll have a few beers tonight and try it again. Sounds like your gonna have a busy weekend. What fun!
