Thanks for anyone checking it out, let me know what you think.

Cheers, Gordon. SoundClick artist: Daktari - I mainly play one-man reggae usually in local bars, restaurants and private parties. Also getting in
Hi Gordon,

I'm a little behind on reading entries in the Songwriting Section and so am now finally getting to yours!

I listened to your "Sweet Heaven When I Die" and enjoyed the song, which I've never heard before. Your guitar playing is very agile and your voice warm and suited well to "bluegrass hill billy." A nice "cowboy" sort of voice, in this song. Since you said you recorded it all in one take, I am now curious how you play the guitar and use a tamborine at the same time! I felt the song sounded very sweet...just like the lyrics...so you matched the musicality well to the theme. I'll listen to your earlier songs now!

--Erica
