Yep, it's a Danny 12-string, which I love!  I got to play a Rick the same
day I bought the Danny, and was.... underwhelmed for such an expensive
axe.

I'm very proud of him :)  :)  :)

The drum track was a present for my birthday - my wife arranged a friend
of ours to come over and do that for me!

Many thanks.

Exactly the feel I was going for; a Byrds-y, garage band sort of sound.
I'm glad that's what it evoked for you :)

And this is too kind - I don't consider myself a singer by any stretch of
the imagination, but as I seem to say whenever I play with other people,
somebody's got to do it!  If I practice enough I can eventually get the
notes close to being right, though I still dislike the timbre of my voice.

This was the first project in my new studio, and I'm satisfied with it.
Frankly, the single biggest improvement I made from the old setup was to
get a couple of SM57 mics... what a difference!
