Anyway, that's how I understood it. Everything else is rather straightforward. A little on the plain side, musically, for me. Maybe just needs a little added spice or something. Good stuff, though.
Well, of course "My Country" wants to be "universally free" lol...
It's a Christian thing wink

I find that there's usually a disconnect between the way something "feels" when I play, and the way it actually "sounds". I do these "plug-n-play" recordings just to get out of my own head...

Thanks Mike
