Why didn't you mention that in the original thread? Aah man, I thought I found an awesome hook line by accident and wrote a cool song, now you tell me you've been working on this song for over a decade. Oh boy, another project I can throw in the garbage can. Your original song is too close to what i came up with. It's amazing, I have never heard your song before but the lyrics and the melodies are so similar. I apologize. It wasn't my intention to make a close copy of your song. I'm therefore taking this one off the board.

You wrote a great song. I hope MAB finds it here.

All the best - Robert

Don't know if you recall... but, over at SW101 MAB was always trying to convince me to come up and visit. He was talking his usual rap about the country music industry and joked about "three chords and the truth". I was still working back then and gas prices were going crazy. I always wanted to work those angles into the lyric... but it just never "flowed".

Then you came along and simplified things lol! grin

Great job, Rob!

All I had was that one line and a rhythm, Rob... An incomplete concept...

"YOU" finished it.

What would actually be cool is if MAB would come down here now!
