Many thanks @TheCluelessLuthier and @SgtColon 
Hello, hope everyone is well. This is my attempt at Children of Children by Jason Isbell from the album ‘Something More Than Free’. This is a great song I enjoy playing that incorporates sus chords. I recorded this at the same time as my last posting (Broken Halo’s) but just haven’t got round to posting it until now.
The song concerns Jason and his sister being born when their parents were only 17 and it seems feeling almost guilty about it. So they were in his view Children of Children (as I understand it). He’s a great songwriter and I love the line “You were riding on your mother’s hip, she was shorter than the corn” so descriptive. He’s also a superb guitar player and I recommend checking out live versions of this for the excellent slide guitar solo. I did not attempt that! strumming and singing steadily is enough challenge for me.
Hope you like it and comments welcome.

That was really good Bob. A new song for me. Your playing was spot on and vocals were also really good. Keep it up!

Hi Bob.
I have done a little editing on your AVOYP posts and placed them together with a link to all in post #1.
You should have editor access to post #1 also.
Because your latest upload was recorded at the same time as the previous, I thought for continuity of tracking progress etc. they belonged together.
Cheers
Richard

Hi Bob,
Wow,…
Your strumming arm should have some" smoothly",…although I think it already sounds good,…But your voice 
,…Oooo, there’s something in it that I haven’t heard anywhere yet here and I really think it’s fantastic,outstanding(?)… if you manage to develop that further, I wouldn’t be surprised if it would become a biggie 
,…
(I’ve praised your voice before, so happy it’s not a " one day fly")
Greetings,Rogier

Thanks Richard. I hope I haven’t posted it in the wrong place or is this just some routine organising that you do? I can see the sense of it as all my postings and replies are together.
When I post my next one should I just use reply after the last post on this thread or continue with ‘New Topic’?
Thank you.
Thank you so much @roger_holland. I am trying to remember just to strum from the wrist rather than the whole arm at certain times as I think it allows a bit more finesse.
Such kind words on the voice. I think I’ve got a better set up with mic placement and settings now to let it be heard. Many Thanks for the encouragement.
