All comments welcome.
Rob Captain Arnold,s Liquer



Hey come on down the fair ground I have cure for you its bound to stop you wheezing and take the stubborn from your mule.
Ive cured a thousand ailments no need to wonder why heal the hole up in a needle and chase your hog from the stye.

..............................................................................................................................................................
It'll cure you from lumbago and fix the palsy too chase the pox right off your chickens and cure a raging flue.
Its something quite affordable its Captain Arnold's liquor and its new.
.................................................................................................................................

No need to ask me question for I would never lie swear an oath on my old mothers if I waver she should die.
Its known to mend a broken bone and a hound from the mange its cured a balding woman and a man from the plague
...................................................................................
It'll cure you from lumbago a fix the palsy too chase the pox right off your chickens and cure a raging flue.
Its something quite affordable its captain Arnold's liquor and its new.
...................................................................................

Outstanding job on this one Rob.
It had to have taken a lot of thought to set up all of the different facets of this. I'll have to say, I would have had to had a massive cheat sheet just to remember all the lyrics. Well done! I would also like to mention one of your tunes on Soundcloud, that I particularly like. I listened to Come Over a couple of times and loved it. Unlikely subject, but that made it all the more enjoyable. You have a wonderfully eclectic mind bent.

Hello Guitar1.
I really appreciate your encouraging words.
Since I write songs as a hobby only, comments like yours are a great reward.
Once I developed the idea for this song it really wrote its self.
The driving drum beat reminded me of an old Salvation Army band and then developed from there.
Hence I tried to make the beat the star of the show.
Thank you for your comments on comb over,that is one of my personal favorites.
I always try and think out of the box when writing and try to look to the quirkier
side of things.
Thank you again. Rob

Here is a link to the youtube video of comb over.

Howdy,

This is original, creative and lots of fun. Live the vocal effects. I have a few of them on my sound card but haven't used them. Maybe I should! A creative attention-grabber.Nice work!
