DonM Senior Member Registered: 06/25/99 Posts: 16735 Loc: Benton, LA, USA	Thought I might share a snippet from a recent night at work. It's a song Willie Nelson did in perhaps my favorite movie, Honeysuckle Rose. He's home from the road and singing it to his wife, played by Dyan Cannon. He told her "he didn't do that anymore", but later on he did and she caught him red-handed. He STILL got away with it! He's my hero! Everything live on Korg PA4X. https://app.box.com/s/msoy4q4fgvfp23uxiog8aw20r7vbg3tx _________________________ DonM

john smies Senior Member Registered: 05/05/00 Posts: 1384 Loc: koudekerke, Holland.	Don, A wonderful song and a superb rendition. As mentioned before your voice and the PA4X are a most enchanting combination apart from your craftsmanship. For the record: "'Til I Gain Control Again" is a country song written by Rodney Crowell and originally recorded by Emmylou Harris in 1975. I was inspired by Emmylou's version and recorded it in 2006 on my Korg PA80. Quite a different arrangement from Don's version , just meant as an illustration of how " arranging " can make things sounds different............. I have included it temporarily on my youtube page: https://youtu.be/Ql5_zgF1q68 regards John

If I keep listening to you I will get to like country more. (smile) As hard as I may try my voice does not sound country. Keep the songs coming Don they’re good listening. John C. PS, as soon as my Pa4x comes I’ll be looking for help; you did one great job with the Pa900.

I am a big fan of Rodney Crowell's writing and still in love with Emmy Lou! Did you ever do "Things I Wish I'd Said"? It is a another great "story" song Rodney wrote. Thanks for sharing! _________________________ DonM

It's a great story song and one of my favorites. MEL _________________________ KORG PA1000, KORG PA900, 2 BOSE S1 PROS, 2 BOSE L1 COMPACTS, YAMAHA STAGEPAS 500, ROLAND VP7
