Just another singer/songwriter. I play all my own instruments (except drums) and record on a Boss BR1200CD standalone multi-track recorder

Story behind the song
I wrote this song about the night i met Dee Howe at a party at Billie Hart's farm way back in the 70's. Dee went on to play in the Grammy Nominated band Cornerstone and still plays and tours extensively. Dee's great fiddle playing is only outdone by her sweet voice.

Greta song Pine. Great story Like the way you did the vocals, and recorded them. The music is perfect for this type of song. Well done! And thanks for the help I did get that mic.
