"Ah, look out for the alligators..." Ha! Cool and fun tune for sure! Definitely nails the swamp rock (funk?) genre. I say revisit it if you want, but I like it very much the way it sits right now. And yes, it's a VERY sharp lyric. THANKS for sharing! Hi Ron, Yeah, those alligators can be feisty little critters! So, ya gotta look out for them. Thank you very much for the kind words! I'm gonna leave it be for a while. I'd like to redo it using BIAB RTs, but there just isn't anything like this at this point. Maybe in the future! Take care, Alan

Love the groove happening with this one, Alan, great feel!
Also really like your lyric.
Vocal doesn't sound too bad to me, but if you think you can do it better, go for it! Thanks a bunch, Dave. Still debating the vocal. But as I get older (approaching 80), the voice isn't what it used to be and hasn't been since a pretty bad accident damaged my vocal cords. We'll see. Many thanks! Alan

Pretty cool stuff!
You sure are on a roll these days with your volume and output!!
Merry Christmas! Hi David, First, Merry Christmas to you and Gayle, all the other Snydies running around! As far as the volume, I'm mostly redoing some oldies that desperately needed some make-up and spit shine. I typically wait either days or until the previous one falls off the first page before posting another one. I did write four new ones over the past couple of months. Two of them are the old Frankie-Avalon - Annette cheeseburgers (I still like that era of music, though), one is contemporary ALT, and one is all Asian. Genre pigeon holes tend to be obstacles for me. Just whatever the mood happens to be. Thanks a bunch. Alan

I like it.
Nice funky groove, an unusual (who the f_ck goes into a swamp at midnight?) but nice story, and well sung.
If you have more than 20 chapters to go, I expect more songs from the book.
Well done! Hi B.D. Glad you liked it! As far as who goes into the swamp in the middle of the night: A family lives in the swamps of Louisiana, basically poor Cajuns The 14-year-old son goes to visit a friend on the other side of the swamp but doesn't return home for the evening meal. His older brother goes out to look for him after dark. The swamp is a spooky place! Lots of eerie things happen! Now you know the premise of the book. Thanks again! Alan

Hi Alan,
What a funky song you made!
And all those sounds of the swamp creatures... Lovely!
I really got that swampy feeling!
I liked everything in the song. I can imagine you consider this to be your best song. It sure is a attractive song!
And I liked the slap bass very much.
Good lyrics and swinging, Al!
Hans

Hans Hi Hans, Glad you enjoyed it - swamp sounds, too! That slap bass is from a different program, but I think it works real nice here. I appreciate all those nice words for the song - thanks a lot! Best to you, Alan

We love the later swampy blues from Tony Joe and this swampy funk would fit right in with it.
"Moonlight weaving shadows
As the critters play and romp
Bayous all flow backwards
When it’s midnight in the swamp
When evil spirits moan their chant
Their sonnets chill and daunt
No mortal man should be there
When it’s midnight in the swamp"
Great lines of many.
The imagery would make a heckuva video.
The cool arrangement, vocals, band and mix all make great production.
Enjoyed it!
J&B
PS Best to you re the novel.

What do you think you're doing out in the swamp at this time of night? Get back to bed!
I think you did a great job, Al. Very rhythmical and great lyrics.

PS Best to you re the novel. Hey Guys... Okay - guy & girl! Anyway, many thanks for all that kindness! And yeah, if I had an idea how to make and upload a video for it, I would. I've downloaded a couple of cheap or free programs, and after the the directions, I still have no clue. I could probably build a nuclear submarine before I figured all that out. It appears they all assume the user has at least a basic knowledge of the task - nope! Again, thank yas a bunch for all those really kind words! Alan

Vic Hey Vic, I got to find my out of this quagmire before I can get home and into bed! Those pesky alligators are a real PIA! And those snakes aren't all that appealing. Oh well, thanks for the listen and comments! Alan
