I Just Came Home To Count The Memories
One of my favorite country songs of all time. So much meaning to this. I first heard it by Cal Smith back in the Hello Country Bumpkin days. All done in my home studio using BIAB, MIDI, my own playing, singing, and production efforts. I hope you will listen on something other than cell phone. Cell phones just don't produce any bass. Bass is really essential to a ballad like this.
| dragged the PP out for this one. I hadn't played it in quite some time. I had to get used to those wide pedals again. My big feet tried to press three at once. LOL

That's very nice Rick. Sounds great. Quite the accomplishment to add all the instruments and vocals there. Impressive.

That steel guitar looks a little dirty. If there was only a way to clean it up a little. Oh, wait. There is!

Re: I Just Came Home To Count The Memories
The Campbell Twins have done it again! Great music!
I am a little confused though... Are the Campbells triplets, quadruplets or quintuples?!? Really, how many of them are there?
I clean my steels just the way Rick told me... Except I use a leaf blower to dry it off and then cover the undercarriage with WD-40 and recycled axel grease.
