Here is one for all those baldies out there. Its time to fight back.  All comments welcome. Comb OverComb over I wake in the morning and see all the hair that Ive shed. When I wake in the morning I can see different parts of my head. I look in the mirror, whose that staring at me? I look in the mirror its a shiny bald head that I see. Its a comb over, its a comb over, its a com over for my hair. My wife's been complaining I keep blocking up the sink. Ive so self conscious a head like an ice skating ring. When out in the sunshine my bald glistens like chrome. With my sickly white complexion my heads like white driven snow Its a comb over, its a comb over, its a com over for my hair ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Swampy Blues, with Shaker 16ths loop demo File:Comb Over.SGU Key=G , Tempo 125, Length (m:s)=2:18 4 bar intro, 64 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 68. Repeat x1 chorus No Melody No Soloist track.

Another nice one! Kind of recognizable lyrics for me, sadly  If my hair loss progresses the way it did this last year, I won't do a comb over, but I'll be wearing a hat Rob

I really liked this song so much that I had to share it with my wife. I have a friend that can sing this song with the best and live up to it. Nice job!

This is really a kick!! I guess we're all getting up there. Arrangement and melody were perfect for the comedic effect. Loved the photo on Soundcloud. Well done! Take care. Greg

Laugh out loud funny and clever! You've
got these bluegrass productions down
Rob. Often folks just throw some BG
tracks together and call it bluegrass but
you have a genuine feel for it.
Killer BGV stuff going on here. Janice has
joined in with them as we listen.
Cool write, vocals and production!!

What kind of a sick mind thinks up something like this. Seriously very funny! Another fine bluegrass production. It's strange the way baldness can skip a generation. My father and my son shared the condition but it hasn't gotten to me yet. I really enjoyed this one. Tom
