Story behind the song
Love in the past - Is only a Memory. Love in the future - Is only a Fantasy. True Love just lives in the 'Here & Now'. The Buddha Taking the new Asher lap steel modifications out for a ride with Mike Bennett's backing track from 2011 that I saved for a very special occasion.. .. ok .. .. so I lost it for 4 years .. Luckily it is still posted tucked safely away on Mike's song pages. Recorded with my Asher 6 string Lap Steel, overdrive provided by the BOSS ME-50 multi-effects. Trying out a 'High Bass' open A major tuning (A C# E A C# E) for the 1st time. Still getting all this slide technique & tunings stuff sorted.. haven't gotten the hang of the thumb & finger picks yet, so this is just bare fingers and some fingernail flicks. I hope you all enjoy my learning progress. Thanks for the backer Mike!

Great backer by Mike to unleash that lap steal to Michael :) The mood changing in the song really gives a different feeling to your riffs!

Great backer, perfectly produced with a touch of magic! Very skilful slide work, it works brilliantly with the backer. There's something special about this track that grabs your attention right away - great sound, superb playing and a lot of feeling.

Very cool Maestro - a nice variation on slide guitar music. Nice backer from Mike B. The lap top steel guitar is sounding good!

This is really cool! :D Great backingtrack provided by Mike B and awesome slide work by you Michael D. The best way to learn an instrument is to play and record a lot. You've only had it for a week and already recorded two great song with it. If you ask me, it already sounds like you got the hang of it. Very nice work! :) Thanks for sharing!
