she wants a dad

"She Wants a Daddy" is by far my favorite of your songs so far. Country music usually doesn't grab my interest. But music by what I call 'the Texas singer- songwriters' (including Jerry Jeff Walker, Townes Van Zant, Steve Earl, and Guy Clark) is an exception and your song reminds me of their work. Your vocal fits the mood of the song very well, and makes the song feel very intimate. I do wish I could hear the song recorded with an acoustic guitar instead of a processed electric guitar. What you are playing works really well, but I can't help but wish that it sounded as if you were playing an old acoustic while sitting on my Aunt Marge's front porch down in Winston County Alabama, overlooking the pasture. That would suit the song. I think that I will send a copy of this to my buddy from Harlingen Texas who turned me on the Texas singer-songwriters. By the way, here is a link to "Desperados Waiting on A Train" by Guy Clark, IMHO one of the best songs by one of the best Texas singer-songwriters. As a song writer, this is a pretty good model to shoot for. T

Very Jerry Jeff Great song You won't mind constructive critism I'm sure, so...... It could do with some acoustic played in the style of Jerry Jeff. The electric is fine, but it doesn't carry the song on it's own. If, and only if, you wanted to make it more the thing, I could do some acoustic along those very lines, just because I can hear what it needs. It could be great Send me a PM if you want me to to do some real country guitar. BTW. the subject matter is very dear to my heart

the acoustic is just too much work. i know what it's supposed to sound like, but i dont have the energy or time to fool with it... so, we seem to be getting down to one of the reasons i'm posting these songs... if you want to do your own version, do it... the only request i make is that you post the result someplace where i can find it.

tell me how to post the tracks isolated from each other... it's really only two tracks, the vocal and the guitar, and you'll need the guitar for cues. so how is that done?

This song does something for me, and has a lovely laid back feel. I'll try my best to do it justice with a strummed acoustic, some very sparse electric picking, and just a hint of pedal steel hanging around it

so i went from perkasie, pennsylvania, to a mormon outfit in a suburb of salt lake city, and the chief pilot, on my check ride, seemed to be ... way too repectful. it turned out to be one of best outfits i'd ever worked for, but, as usual, i disgraced myself, and was assigned to a seismic outfit that was a tax writeoff for a big oil comapany... a seismic graveyard. so then the dismal freaking outfit started shooting so much line that it was profitable, which was intolerable. one comedy after another.

the mormon outfit changed chief pilots, to an older guy, about my age... if you wanted an example of a nice guy, he'd be it... he became an am*****ce pilot, and the dead people in the car wrecks started working on him, especially the kids. anyhow, the company seemed to tolerate me, and one of my best memories is confessing to this guy that i woke up one morning with hickies on my dick, and i hadnt the slightest idea of who, or even what sex, put them there... he seemed to accept that... no flinches at all. i didnt mention that a fellow pilot, on the same job, was the prime suspect.

there was some nuclear scandal... i forget what, maybe three mile island, and we were working a survey operation to look for uranium... we eventually flew a 4-mile grid over new england... paranoid about locals screwing with the helicopter. we were in bangor for a while, and i woke up, crouched in the bushes off the freeway, early in the morning, with these weird circular sores on the inside of my arms, on my chest and belly. the last thing i'd rembered before that was approaching these people who were in sort of huddle at a table in a bar... they looked interesting... i was already so drunk that i got no idea how i approached them... it must have scared them, though. i guess they could have slit my throat, and dumped me in the same place. it's a wonderful world.

i was hired to replace the guy in bangor, who'd taxied the helicopter too close to a hanger, got a blade strike, one of the bladetip weights flew off and decapitated a local. the company moved him to colorado, where he got into blade stall and killed himself and his crew. well, he was competing... production, dont you know

Wadosy man, if you can do this track again with Teds acoustic guitar (it would probably be less work uploading your tracks than you think, I also use 'box' - you can get a free account and you can upload a file up to 24MB, which for this project should be fine) I can tell you there are a few people on the forum who would just LUUUURVE (Texan accent) to hear it. Purty puhlease?
