I'm late to the party but super glad I got to hear this one!

You had me hooked at the intro. Di was right, your voice is perfect for this blues song. Loved everything about this one!

I guess cute is better than crappy and an unhappy wife! ANYTHING is better then an unhappy wife wink


Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Mario ...

All late comers welcome. I saved a little ice cream and cake for you.

Hooked at the intro .... what more could a composer ask for??? And I loved everything about your comment. Thank you very much! Hope 2021 treats you fabulously.

SUPERB. I love your voice, if only because it always, always tells a story, no matter what. I agree with your wife, haha ... don't change a thing :-) The song is top-notch, from the chord progression to the instrumentation, to the story told and to its rendition, performance, etc. . You always leave me wanting more - and with a smile on my face. Hats off.

Hello Cap'n ...

I only say two things to my wife:

1. Yes, ma'am
2. Would you like that today or yesterday?

Thank you very much for your very nice comments. We older guys gotta hang in there ... I'll be 74 in a few weeks.

Here's hoping 2021 takes a turn for the better. It's only a week into the new year and it's already fallen on its face. Best to you.

Alan & Di

Hi Al-David,

Composition very well done. It's the blues that I like. And it's true you did well not to touch your voice because it lends itself well to this style.

Alan,
One of your best vocals on a very cool song; I don`t really believe you were a misanthrope when you wrote this, but you sing the part so well here!
I was several years from showing up on this forum when you first posted this; makes me wonder about all the other gems on those back pages.

Cool, cool song. It's got a lot of drive. And I agree with the others---the vocal is fine and a keeper!

I love these lines at the end of the chorus: "Don't need nobody else/Just me and my self" Now that's a kicker!

I didn't hear it eight years ago so I was glad to catch it now. Nice and gritty bluesy tune. Lyrics fit it well as did the vocals. Good one.
