Too cold and icy in East TN to do too much, so I recorded a Mel Tillis song. Used all my studio tools like BIAB, MIDI, etc... along with my playing and singing. This is my 1974 Emmons PP recorded direct. These guys work cheap, but they tend to be lazy.

Re: Too Lonely Too Long
Thanks for another great video, Rick!
I’m guessing those guys don’t insist on getting paid union rates.

Re: Too Lonely Too Long
Always enjoy your videos Rick. They make me smile as did a couple of those steel licks you used.

Re: Too Lonely Too Long
Love it, Rick! It’s one of my favorite Tillis songs, and I do it as an instrumental.

Re: Too Lonely Too Long
Thank you Norman. This was my first using the new Fender 8 DAW. A few changes, but pretty intuitive.

Re: Too Lonely Too Long
Very nice, Rick! I didn't know you were one of triplets... You should give those two brothers some credit too. Well done...
