Great work Sir, Thank you for the pleasure recieved while listening to it.

Keep well health wise, and keep writing.

Hi Kenny,

Prime cut Prine, Kenny, you old son of a trail horse !!

This is great - it tells a story, talks about friendship, gets sad, maudlin - yet keeps it's tail up and the listener interested.  Brilliant !

Just shows that a song can be about anything and anybody. There's no songwriter yet been jailed for what they wrote in a song.

Re: Goodbye Billy Walker (NOW RECORDED)

hi kenny...respect, respect.

i loved the words and story line....but the recording...wow knocked me out!

first impression....dylan meets paul simon meets the byrds add john prine. not copied not imitated pure kenny and totally brilliant.

your finger picking sounded great to me, as did the harmony vocals. this should be out there on general release making you money, that's my opinion and i'd buy it twice!

you've come to the bridge you've taken the first step, now walk on, the world is yours.

I have to say Thank You to you. The improvements come from advice given by you and Phill and Russ and Roger and the list goes on. What a great, friendly board this is.
Yup...you were right...when recording always record using headphones.The sound is so much gooder and you can hear what's actually going on. big_smile
Thanks my friend.

Re: Goodbye Billy Walker (NOW RECORDED)

Kapa,

Ive listened to this song all night here on my pc. I have nearly learned  all the lyrics  now.

This is a keeper. I love picking tunes, and this is so good to play.

Thank you again.

Ken...in a word.... brilliant

Recording was top notch as well but I think that song would have shone through a bad mix

Re: Goodbye Billy Walker (NOW RECORDED)

Nice job Ken! That was really an amazing tune.  I for sure hear the JP influence.

Brother pal , please let me know if you're ever in my neck of the woods ( west coast Florida, Tampa area, you have my e-mail) for whatever reason. I've  got a mixer( and a sweet sounding PA) with a few channels that have your name taped on it.

Peace and Guitars,

Give everything but up.

Re: Goodbye Billy Walker (NOW RECORDED)

Hi geo big_smile
Thank You for the listen and comments. Writing something that touches someone is indeed a humbling experience.
Thanks So Much
Kenny



Hi Dino big_smile
I appreciate the comments my friend. As you say it can't be "work?" if you are doing something you love to do.
Gracias
Kenny

Hi Toney big_smile
Thank You my friend for the kind words and the invite. You can count on it if I ever get your way.
I'm hoping you'll let me know if your ever in my neck of the woods. I may not have the mixer or the PA but I got my axe and a fridge full of wobbly pops with your name on them.

Thanks Again

Kenny

Hi Shady,
It's a real simple piece to play. I'm glad you liked it. big_smile

I have opened a soundclick account and I will be posting my songs there also. It seems to load faster and is less of a hassle. Also it has an unlimited songcount.
As a lark I called my band lol Ta-Daa

Hey Kenny - Now I remember this one. Very different song from California Bound but both are great songs.

Re: Goodbye Billy Walker (NOW RECORDED)

Hi cj-5 smile

Thank you for the listen and kind words. Sorry about not being able to find it as I took down the Myspace link and haven't gotten around to putting up the Soundclick link. I'm real embarrassed by my recordings and cringe when I hear them. sad

Writing songs comes from the heart. I'll bet you have it in you if you don't force it. Looking forwards to reading/hearing your songs here. smile

Cheers

Ken
