Howdy Jamey,
I'm so sorry....I thought I had commented on this quite some time ago! I dropped into the comments to see what else had transpired and couldn't find any comment from me. Maybe, I had written before I had quite SC before and hadn't re-commented.....anyway, I'm so sorry for my lack of response. You and your sister, (Ms. Rosie) make a write good team!!!!! I love how you tied the verses together!!!!! The guitar work you've nutured here is extraordinary, a remarkable string of vocalizations by your talented self and the melody is perfect for the style the lyrics represent, plus the tamborine work is just like baby bear soup.......it's just right!!!!!!! Ms. Rosie wrote some mighty fine lyrics, btw!!!!!!This would have been a great addition for a dream sequence in the Will Ferrell movie, Elf!!!!!!!!
Respectfully, and once again I apologize....
Wade

Nice job by you and Rosie Claire. Which Potbellys are you playing at?

Well, you have done it again! Writing music is so natural for you. The bells were perfect and the '0-0-0-0-0's' were exactly what the lyrics needed to connect. Have you heard all of Potbelly's CD yet? Wonder if they have a web site.....I'll have to google their site.
I'm healing okay I guess.......just seems so slow! I'm frustrated with how long everything takes me to do. But it could have been SO much worse, so I am thankful. Take care brother! Great job on the song!!
