Default "This Ol' Ford"

My partner and I submitted this to Ford a couple years ago.... they passed then, but have just emailed that they may be iinterested in it for a promo ad ! Wish us luck ?

Well written, well arranged, well performed and it makes me want to buy a Ford! Great work Mitch.

MitchC,

Wow, Great Song, great lyrics, great harmony, great guitar playing. Best of luck with it, I know Ford fans like myself will appreciate it. I have a 1997 F150 with over 385,000 miles, still runs strong, and looks great too.
Hopefully the Company will appreciate it the way I do.

Hey All,

Outstanding! The other songs are great too! I especially like little things - great song, vocals and the music noodling around in a different "register" from the vocals always appeals to me.
