Waiting On A Train (Collab with mark alan skinner)

Hi Folks . . . greetings from Canada, haven't posted a song here in while, great to see so much activity, and adding Chris Price as a moderator, brilliant.

This song is a collaboration with Mark Alan Skinner (southern USA), a talented guitarist (etc) I met on an internet song forum.

I had this strumming acoustic guitar piece in my studio for a while , and just couldn't take it much further. Was trying to record a sampled mandolin part, which wasn't working right . . . so I sent a mix to Mark, who can actually play a mandolin ! Well, a few weeks go by and Mark recorded an acoustic guitar, a mandolin, and an upright bass . . . yeah, that's me singing and strum whacking acoustic guitar in the background. What can I say, the song got transformed. Let us know what you think.

  • Yeah, it's good to see things picking up here again. It's a great forum. And thanks for your kind comment.

    This track is awesome. I love that guitar pickin' and the mandolin - wish I could do that. But what really wins me over is the superb harmonies. There's some nice chord progressions too. What a great way to start my day. No crits from me.😀

  • Brilliant! Love the picking.

    The song keeps changing, but it still holds together with an integrated feel.

    Love the into to match up with that first line. And bookended with an outro.

    Great energy. Love it.

    Mind-bendingly good acoustic guitar intro - starting out with the deep country blues. The vocal has a lot of winning energy.
