I sang and knocked. This song was born from a fun conversation with the real "Mr. Jay". a bail-bondsman in Houston. He not only inspired the song with his stories, but helped to "Houstonify" it. I like this song for the fun. I'm not happy with the mix--especially the bass panned left, the mono drums, the guitar sound, and the over-done piano licks Other than that? Hazards. I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay I am quite surprised to see you, I must say Please don't haul me off to Jail I'll be back to check my mail I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay. Ain't this Memphis springtime something else to feel? I've been busking for a bus ticket down on Beale See that lady there that let you through the door. Ain't none like her back in Houston anymore. I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay And I'm quite surprised to see you I must say Please don't haul me off to jail I'll be back to check my mail I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay. I'll head back to Cunny Homes in old 3rd ward Baby's mama prolly thinks there's some reward Got to get back to my biz on Scott and Clay Give me one more week, I'll be back Mr. Jay Instrumental Ain't this LA breeze a bucketful of bliss? Ain't no courtroom back in Houston quite like this You look like you've been working pretty hard Stick around, I'll show you Sunset Boulevard. I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay I am quite surprised to see you, I must say Please don't haul me off to Jail I'll be back to check my mail I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay. Ain't this New York City something, Lord I swear Since you made it here, you'll make it anywhere It's up to you if you think it's time to go. Got no money and I'm scared of Mexico I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay And I'm not surprised to see you I must say I'll crawl off of this here stoop get back inside the loop I am not jumping bail Mr. Jay I am not jumping bail I'm not jumping bail I am not jumping bail, Mr. Jay Tangmo 2008 Last edited by Tangmo; 10/20/18 04:58 PM.

It wouldn't take much to kick this up a few notches with realtracks, realdrums, and a better mix. Jay is still around BTW, retired a few years ago.

I agree it's great fun and would benefit from some Realtracks/drums to help with the stereo image. An excellent demo. Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe

(though I've never been a big fan of MIDI productions) I enjoyed the listen. fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

I had kinda hoped Jay would take this song to his band and that they could add it to their set with their own arrangement, but didn't happen. I'm working on a new version/arrangement now with RT's and RD's, and a bigger production but I put this together in two sections, it appears, and I'm not sure if it will work. Back still hurts, so I can't sit and work for long periods. We'll see what I can do. Thanks for the comments. As long as I made Jay laugh, I succeeded with my initial goals. BIAB 2021 Audiophile.

I get the impression that you've taken a bit of time writing this and putting it together because everything is sitting so well in my headphones! My favourite line was "Ain't this LA breeze a bucketful of bliss"... it's such a highly visual image and made me smile. All the best, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2025 audios on Soundcloud

Like Dave and others alluded to it's well worth a new mix with RT's and RD's. We look forward to what you cook up with it. Great listen!

Like how that piano rings. I’m not expert enough to discern MIDI from RT, but it just doesn't matter on a song like this, IMHO. Great tune! Congrats on a job well done. My kindest regards, Deej
