Gary... I think the chord & melodic structure compliment the theme nicely. I agree that it needs some additional instrumentation to give it some added color. I did notice some rumble in the low end either from your guitar or bass. Not terrible but a…
Yea, it could use some filling out. This is just a first run at it with just my guitar, plus I added a bass line to make it move a bit more. Needs a solo guitar to counter the main guitar melody. Working on it.

I like it. It reminds me of some of John Sebastian's solo work a few years back. Ever think of adding a little harmonica? I think it would complement it nicely.
Good work, good performance.
gary great song as i listened to it i thought it needed some slide guitar i got out my martin d18 and played along the slide made it kind of swampy to go with your misty bayou theme . Mark Chopper Land
Gary, I enjoyed Waiting on a summer moon. Great voice. I have always liked St. James Infirmary, you did nice job! I see we have a lot of the same influences. Welcome on board. Jim
"Waitin' On the Summer Moon" was a fun listen. A wonderful original idea, great lyrics and excellent performance. "Cold down to my soggy soul" - I love it! One thing - I couldn't understand what the backup singers were saying right before "damn it's cold as hell." Otherwise terrific! Looking forward to hearing more of your work.
