Description:
Seems o'l Billy Logan couldn't make this gig. He close encountered a rascal hinny smitten brainsick. Hence the ditty struck a chord and a rumor was inbred. There'd be a lack of a pedal and no slap of steel. The spectacle emanated with a busy banjo to stand-in. Poor o'l Billy, a song to follow his legacy, picked by some day early seasoned chums. Huh?

Amazing stuff John! &mdash 06/30/08 - 09:56:12 PM
This is just SO perfect - it's contemporary but traditional at the same time. Fantastic tune, excellent vocals and brilliant playing - a huge song John. Is that you on banjo?
Congratulations!

I wish I had a banjo. I used my midi keyboard and one of the banjo instruments included with Logic Pro. Loved your tune as well.

I Get the Distinct Impression... &mdash 06/30/08 - 10:09:34 PM
that you've done this C&W stuff before, John. ;)
Excellent piece of work on all counts AND a very catchy melody. And the Southern accent doesn't sound fake at all. :p
It's a hoot, my friend! ;)

What a great Country song &mdash 06/30/08 - 10:31:26 PM
Got that old time feel and sounds as real as it gets. Love the laid back feel with the banjo pickin' up the rhythm and making it flow.
Great job John, Kudos to you my friend,

Oh yeah! &mdash 06/30/08 - 11:38:18 PM
I really like the "newgrass" sound on this.
Definitely filling an unmet need for Banjo on MJ!
Electric guitar solo an inspired choice.

Great! &mdash 07/01/08 - 01:29:48 AM
Those vocal harmonies are great! The banjo is also fantastic! The mix on this is right on the money. This is a great toe-tapper John! Very nice electric solo also. I like how the electric continues through the rest of the song once it's introduced. Great job! [ Reply to This ]
I like &mdash 07/01/08 - 03:39:57 AM
the unusual timing of the words on this and of course the banjo. Harmonies are fantastic, and lead excellent, love the lyrics too, love it, regards M [ Reply to This ]
Killer! &mdash 07/01/08 - 09:16:53 AM

A fantastic .. &mdash 07/01/08 - 12:02:48 PM
.. song John and a brilliant tribute to Marion- gets off horse and drinks his milk ;o).
My father was a fan of the Duke...loved his films .. a true fighter, in every sense... sadly missed.
Your lyrics and the harmonies are particularly fabulous, not to mention all the playing and sweet mix.
Excellent all round. Loved it. [ Reply to This ]

You know... &mdash 07/01/08 - 01:09:06 PM
...I'm hearing lots of great country western stuff in this GOOC and this is definitely one of the gems...really enjoyed this, John [ Reply to This ]
The vocals on this are amazing &mdash 07/01/08 - 09:04:46 PM
great harmony and just the right lead - and I swear I never heard a backwards tele solo in a song like this and likely never will again - or does it just have a backwards sound? Now you got me guessing. Coulda sworn it came in backwards but it mighta swung around frontwards after a second to mess with my head. Talk about smitten brainsick. Hats off to you sir! [ Reply to This ]
No backwards guitar this time. &mdash 07/05/08 - 04:25:34 PM
sorry to hear about Billy.... &mdash 07/01/08 - 11:07:27 PM
..... and his brainsick ailment.
.........everything is so dang good 'ole brain smarts here! [ Reply to This ]
Great vocals &mdash 07/02/08 - 04:57:02 AM
Love the harmany vocals. Fit the track perfectly. You've got a great mix going here - the double bass sounds fine and the guitar/banjo split is perfect.
Gonna chack out some more of your stuff. A pleasure!

pink and fluffy dancing around the kitchen music!!! whose idea was this GOOC thing?? i'm havin' the BEST time - thank you xoxoxo [ Reply to This ]
Terrifically tight... &mdash 07/04/08 - 12:51:26 PM
...arrangement and mix... I think you could got a perfect "old country" right-on-the-edge-of-too-much reverb sound...
You did a great job singing and playing. The snare and banjo are spot on, and then the nicely surprising grit of the electric guitar pulls it back from being predictable...
Ed [ Reply to This ]
yep... &mdash 07/04/08 - 02:37:39 PM
hey pardner &mdash 07/05/08 - 09:11:39 AM
The Duke would be proud. Really cool harmony, is that you as well? Fine pickin and melody. [ Reply to This ]
Boa &mdash 07/05/08 - 03:53:58 PM
Irmão, temos que fazer a "Tristeza do Jeca" um dia desses...
hehe heh. Ou, talvez "O Sapinho Caìu nos Braços da Sapinha..."
A harmonia das vozes é óptima; dá p'rá quebrar um galho :)

Not my Genre. But, I have to say you did a great job. Sounds terrific.
Dave [ Reply to This ]
Very cool &mdash 07/11/08 - 04:05:21 PM
I love the sound on this, and the vocals are absolutely perfect, spot on. Great, tight harmonies and nice lyrics. The banjo sound (is it a banjo?) sounds terrific, and those brush drums are ideal. Very nicely done. This has a professional sound that would not sound remotely out of the place on the radio. Kudos. Peace. [ Reply to This ]
