Agree with the others Mario. There's nothing too shabby about that.

This is cool Blues, with a "capital B"

I think you nailed it, actually.

Really loved the 'stop' and moreover the lyrics: "my future's so bright - I need a flashlight"
Clever, really clever.

I almost spit out my coffee on that "extended" guitar solo. smile

Great song, Mario, and I certainly can relate, although there's not much of my hair left to leave on the shower floor.

Thanx Noel, furry, VideoTrack, John, and Torrey for listening and those very nice comments.

Thanx Charlie for that. But I did not steal your guitar solo. It took me hours to get that down!

Josie, unfortunately that flashlight line is true!

Dear "MarioD"...

Anyone who could make such fun out of the subject of "getting old" is obviously experiencing the best of those years laugh!

Your guitar "solo" is a model of comic timing -- this is a song that should be seen as well as heard, as in on-stage. Can't you hear the audience's applause in response to your "class act"?

The BIAB blues style is the perfect vehicle for your playfully self-negating lyrics. I love it when a musician can wring humor out of the "blues".

"MarioD", your flashlight is working just fine because you know how to keep your batteries charged by making music that's fun! cool

"Live long and prosper, MarioD"!

Sincerely,

LOREN

Thanx Loren for listening, however that guitar lead was not a model of comic timing. That is me trying to play whistle

LPman, thanx for listening and commenting but at 60 you still are a puppy cool
PS - hockey starts today! I'll bet that we are on different sides tomorrow smile

I have asked many time why don't sing too, but as I listened, the score is different.
I like your vocal. it goes very well with this excellent song.

Super background and great playing.
