Honored to hear that being in Des Moines IA played a small part in inspiring the evolution of such a beautiful song. Thanks for sharing a bit of the process. For those that aren't songwriters, we enjoy hearing about the inspiration and development of songs. Well done
I was a little heebie-jeebied to read that you were in Iowa, because I had just noted the Everly Brothers subvibe. Good, solid song that runs straight through, and fantastic nuances. Feels less like a performance and more like honesty in public.
When i hear certain box sets (dating myself) that have alt takes that didn't make the record, it's often very obvious why they didn't make the record. I still find such takes interesting.
It’s interesting for me because when I was a teenager I picked up a guitar and started trying to play songs & then for a long time, I wasn’t able to for various reasons. I found an old cassette tape during the pandemic & I found little instrumental compositions, nothing amazing, but in short seeing the evolution of something makes you feel less crazy? I like alternate versions too, I guess we’ve been robbed of them in this digital age as I realise now it’s been a while since I heard any! Sorry for the ramble but, in a way I forgive myself because Spotify etc as a listener and learner I’ve been reflecting on how it changed how I listen & it’s not a small thing! I’m sure I don’t need to tell you as a working musician, but I worry about the impact on all of us. Ok long ramble over!
there's interest!

I forget which highway I got on after leaving Des Moines, but a good chunk of the tune happened there.
for those of us that ARE songwriters, we enjoy hearing about the inspiration and formative developements...
Beautiful. Sew/sow, that's terrific
Cheers, KC. Glad you dig it. Hope to get to sit and play guitars with you before too long...in Australia, of course. Hey to H.

That song is beautiful. Very much looking forward to whatever you do with that country album since I love so much of the Scud Mountain Boys material.
Thanks, Steve. I appreciate that.
So wonderful. Thanks for Sharon. Memoing that song from earlier now…
"Thanks for Sharon" is a good title. Thanks.
yes , would love to see the different versions of a song!
Thanks for chiming in, Sara.
I'll make sure to give that idea a try.
