Thank to those that commented on my first song. My second tune is an original. It's called "Trial and Error" I am looking for constructive criticism. I may do a retake and edit of this recording. I consider this a novelty song, (kinda).
…………………….The story behind the song.
It was my first day at Augusta Blues Week in Elkins, WV. Joe Filisko was holding one of his famous circle jams on the veranda, late at night. I was so taken by the event I had to be part of it. I went and got my guitar and asked to lead one of the tunes. Joe said yes, but when I played, nobody played along. I was crushed. I had lead my local harmonica club for years with my guitar playing. Now 30 good harp players were just staring at me like I was wasting their time. I quickly ended the tune and vowed to never try that again.
The next morning I was still "beating myself up" for what happened, but I looked in the mirror and said, "I learn by trial and error, and each day I get better". That snapped me out of it. Within 48 hours I had written a song and performed it for the same group and received many compliments. The lesson is that we all screw up, but we just gotta keep trying.
Updated to play MP3

I recieved it and posted it as an M4A file. (think Apple Quicktime, kinda like a MP4), I was able to play it so I "ASSUMED" others could hear it too. Now that I have taken a second look, I see it's a Quicktime only, and Windows Media Player will not open it. I'll get a MP3 version soon. Thanks for the feedback.
( edit, 10 minutes to fix it )
OK, I now have it as a MP3, Try again
