Hey Tommy,
I love it! Great drums in the ending.. is that just the way the style ended the song?

Clever lyrics, and I always enjoy a good strat with the blues (well done)

A song about food, guess what I love it! Surprised anyone?

Something about BBQ and Blues gets me every time.

Later,

LOL Tom - my other half loves the baby backs...

I can't resist saying - this is a TASTY Blues sound going on.


Enjoyed it very much.

Tom,

You've outdone yourself on this one! Awesome - "on all levels" as Noel might say...

Your vocal sits perfectly in this style. Your guitar is excellent!

And... a clever write - tight. My favorite tommyad song.

Love the lyrics, Tommy. In South Africa it is known as a braai. I would write a song about that damn braai but nobody else would know what I am talking about!

Pat, That is a style generated ending. Endings are always difficult for me. It is hard to make them seem real and natural. Thanks for your comments, Tom

Danny, Blues and BBQ go hand in hand. Thanks for listening, Tom

Josie, Your comments are as good as your songs, well maybe not quite. Thanks, Tom

Video, Thanks for listening. Not quite true. I'm big but not that big. Tom

Floyd, Thanks for your kind words. Tom

Joanne, Interesting, You're right no one knows what you're talking about. Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. Tom

BTW, best use of I've heard of that harmonica track. Works great with your strat.

*lots of laughing* ... That's true!!! I would have said something just like that for this song! I'd better hunt around for a new vocabulary smile

I'm with Sundance. This was 'tasty' blues at it's best. A delicious smorgasbord of musical bbq cuisine.

Very inventive!
Noel
