Nice wry humour in those lyrics! Combined with a crisp rock beat and that double guitar intro - this is very well done.

Hi Peter and Leon, I think kenny hit the mark on this one. We couldn't agree more. And that key modulation was exactly what the song needed - nice! Neither of us are big drinkers but I (Alan) played in bars for several decades and I'm no sr=tranger to these three guys! Actually, I'm finishing a song with a vaguely similar theme. You guys did a really nice job on this! Have a great week! Alan & Di

Now that's a fun little rocker. Good vocals and some fine guitar. I did think the intro was very well played but slightly out of tune. No worries, it still works. Herb has caught me a few times for the same thing and I said to myself later " why didn't I hear that? I guess it's easy to focus on other things during mixing. Even so I liked it ! Tom

Peter & Leon,
A fun, rockin' tune. A strong vocal. I really liked the outro - had a nice "freedom" about it.

Peter, I liked the mix spread on the instruments. Everything is heard clearly and the key change was a good idea! Thanks, Torrey

Anyway, this is a rockin' tune. Very clever!!! Great vocals, guitar, and use of tracks.
Cheers!! Rock on man!!
