[monterrb]

Beautiful job Mike!! Your voice is like butter!!

[iriewaregl]

@monterrb ahhh -- such a nice thing to say Bettina .. thank you so much. Mike

[209esperanza]

what a awesome song mike

[iriewaregl]

@209esperanza Thanks Ellie. You are always so kind. BTW -- Ice is working on a new video to this song. She is currently on vacation, but when she returns, she should finish it in a couple of weeks. I am excited to see what she comes up with because this is actually my most popular song on yt - a little ahead of "Turpentine Wine" in hits.

[209esperanza]

@iriewaregl sent me if shes done with it iam curious like u hehehe love this song and i can't wait to see her work!

[iriewaregl]

@209esperanza Will do Ellie -- :)

[iriewaregl]

@VeritasVincit10 Thank you for your kindness Ale. I am so glad you love this song. Indeed, you are an angel of light :) Mike

[iriewaregl]

@Amelie452 Thank you very much for listening & leaving a nice message.

Peace, Mike

[Circumpunk]

Not sure how to classify this one. I am not good with genres. What are your influences bro?

[iriewaregl]

@Circumpunk You name it -- rock (all types), blues, country, gospel, r&b, reggae -- if you listen to a bunch of my music, it is all over the place. This tune would probably be country -- even though, I am more southern rock -- actually, one of my songs, The Coming Monsoon was categorized as alternative rock

[Circumpunk]

@iriewaregl Thanks for the clarification. I am not a fan of modern country but the old timers turn me on. Have you ever listened to any Hank III, Jr.'s son? I can send ya some from hyperdiabolical I uploaded. This one sounds like Buffett to me. That's a compliment dude.

[iriewaregl]

@Circumpunk Yeah -- I've listened to Hank III -- and, I like mainly traditional country -- loved Vern Gosdin "the voice." BTW -- Buffett went to Auburn frosh year -- learned to play guitar there from a frat brother -- flunked out -- eventually wound up at S. Miss. Thanks for the compliment man ...

[Circumpunk]

@iriewaregl Oh, man! I have respected the eagle's since Farve's days. Don't know why we don't play them anymore. Always stopped into Hattiesburg on the way to NO...funny as this your NO song, ha ha ha . I have one posted by Live I have to share some day.

Did ya also know The Stones performed there (AU) at the stadium in the 70's? saw it on PBS's show Antiques Road Show when a guy got an astronomical valuation on a concert poster. WOW!! Buffett was a student hen.

[iriewaregl]

@Circumpunk yeah, I heard about that Stones concert at Auburn . Other famous AU singers -- Bobby Goldsboro ("Honey") and Toni Tenelle (Captain & Tenelle). :) Oh yeah, the guy from American Idol - Taylor Hicks too. Back when I was a student, the Eagles was one of the big concerts that I remember. Thanks again man for you support of my music ...

[Circumpunk]

@iriewaregl Think the Eagles were great. We had Charlie Daniels at homecoming 1980 at bama...all that Devil Went Down to Ga. stuff. Oh Jeeezus, remember, Neil Diamond's "They're Coming To America"??? ROFL!!

[MasterLeeMochow]

Good song my friend!!!

Bless you for sharing this with us all.

P.U.

Master Lee Mochow

[iriewaregl]

@MasterLeeMochow Thank you so much man. Honestly, I think it is hit or miss sometimes on what YT deletes -- it really makes no sense. Just keep up the good fight man ... peace, Mike

a little lated say " Happy Birth Day Mike" ;))

[iriewaregl]

@omerlek2007 Thank you very much Lek. You are very kind and considerate.

Mike

[iriewaregl]

@2IceCantata Thank you very much! I am glad my music has that effect on you. In terms of style, a critic once called me "alternative southern rock." But honestly, I just go with the flow & never think about adhering to a particular style letting songs fall out where they may ... :)

[ROCKERWORLD1]

all songs are perfectly ,prezize,...artworks....grats.­..

[iriewaregl]

@ROCKERWORLD1 Thank you so much for those kind words -- really man, I appreciate it so much. Mike

This is everything and more.

Very bluesy;and suits the mood.

[iriewaregl]

@tukspeacepipes Thank you so much Tuks -- yeah, I think you should visit New Orleans -- or, the "Big Easy" as it is nicknamed. Great food, music & drink abounds ...

Peace man! Mike

[iriewaregl]

@redwhitch17 Thank you Jacky -- that is very kind of you to say! Mike

[ivebeenthere1]

Love this!

if I may...and I mean this as a compliment: this has a delightful Doobies meets Arlo Guthrie feel about it......great song!

cheers Gary :--)

[iriewaregl]

@ivebeenthere1 Thank you so much for the compliment Gary. Yeah -- I can hear that ... and yes, I listened to a lot of their stuff growing up. When I play it by myself on the acoustic guitar, you can probably detect some James Taylor/Jim Croce influence as well .... peace my friend. Mike

[ivebeenthere1]

@iriewaregl yes...can hear this and this is all good

cheers & peace friend

Gary :--)

[ThePatriciaRolland]

Really a good song !

[iriewaregl]

Thank you very much! The french singer's version is a little different (more up tempo) -- and well, the video tells a little more of the story of the song. His name is LoBen62 if you want to check it out -- geaux tigers & war damn eagle :) Mike

[Butternut121]

Mike, I have just been to listen to Laurent's version of your song...and then I came back to listen to yours again.... Both so different but magic to the Soul! You guys rock!
