Hey all,
I am most appreciative of all your comments. I asked for honest opinions and I feel I got them. I will confess that I went down on one knee there once, but I didn't go down for the count. LOL Seriously though, I have already learned to be more critical of my arrangements. I am much too prone to just concentrate on lyrical content. I also played way too many instruments myself on this first cd. Not out of ego but lack of funds to hire musicians. All of the stringed instrument are me, including the cello on 'Where Ya Goin' Johnny' That was actually the only thing I could play on it.LOL
Anyway, I have heard so many good songs on this site in the last few days it blows me away. JD your song 'Daddy Don't You Die On Me' is one of the most touching I have ever heard and when I closed my eyes I could have sworn it was a James Taylor song off of some album I didn't know. (I know it wasn't it's just that good) "Stop and Roll Around' and 'My Arms Ain't Your Prison' are also great songs. I am glad to have had the chance to hear them.
Kevin, I believe I have listened to all of yours tonight and loved them. 'Roll Daddy Roll' is just a fabulous, fun tune with a great arrangement. 'West Texas Girl' and 'Won and Lost' are favorites too. I get chills at the fiddle playing expecially on 'Won and Lost'
I'd better quit now, I do tend to ramble on when I get started and you don't want me to start on favorite artists and albums. We'd be here all night. Thanks to all.

KW (Alador)
