Greg, thank you. I'm glad the band didn't dissuade you.

You sing with such an enthousiasm!

Love this one. You could take that lyric and put it to a slow raunchy blues and have two cool songs for the price of one!

"Who's gonna wake me, wake me with their scorn"


Great line.


BTW - could your GF have been thinking about Paul Henreid instead of Cary Grant? It's a famous scene.

Bob, I played around with many different styles. When I decided to go the jazz route I feel that I got lucky when I ignored my biases and tried Samba on a lark. Thank you.

and you are absolutely right about Paul Henried, that is the scene!

A fabulously entertaining song, so well conceived and with an amazingly good vocal.

Loved everything about it.

Never actually got round to smoking - I was always saving for a better guitar. (Still am, in fact.)

ROG.


Rog, A breath of fresh air over a song about cigarettes, that's a good one! lol! glad that you enjoyed it!

Nice, enjoyable song.

Charlie



Thanks for listening, Charlie.
