Stan’s is not where you go for a quiet relaxing afternoon. It’s a festival. It is located in Goodland Fl. which is known as “the drinking village with a fishing problem.” If you show up on a Sunday, you can’t miss it. It’s famous. It’s notorious. It’s kinda like Key West used to be. The annual Mullet Festival attracts thousands. Our band played there every other Sunday afternoon for 18 yrs. This song is dedicated to one of the bartenders Jeff who was part priest, part psychologist and part peacekeeper.

My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Really enjoyed the backstory! You should write a memoir sometime about your life as a musician, I'm sure you have lots of great stories to tell. Would love hearing about your time playing with Charlie Daniels for example, I recall you telling me your band opened for his a few times I think? Excellent!

The song begins with a bang: strong vocal, rocking background, excellent write - and never lets up. Love it! -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

As a nit I'd suggest attending to the "old man esses" that jump out a bit. I'm certain few may notice and fewer care but they jumped out at me so are worth mentioning. Excellent song.

We opened for Charlie 5 times and got to know him a bit. Once he played all blue’s except for Devil went down to Georgia & Sittin on a Barstool. You would have loved it. He was known for fiddle but was an underrated guitar slinger, Tom

And your guitar work and vocals are icing on the cake. https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677 BiaB 2024 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
