Hi,

Thanks for the kind words. The health issues are just "stuff". Not to worry. Life is not dangerous it is terminal, no one ever made it out alive...lol

I am a big fan of collaboration in any form. It is what I like about playing in a band. It is a team effort.

I have enjoyed listening to the various mix versions to date. It has given me some education in what is possible that I may not have considered before.

The vocal was done by Dan, a friend of mine in London, England. The vocal would have been slightly different if he was here in Miami at my house. He only had a very general idea of what I was looking for. Another vocal will be done here locally when the guys in the band have the time. I have no ability to sing that style of music. Backing, perhaps but not lead.

This song started out as just messing around with the new 2019 BB. It has taken on a life of it's own. It continues to be a fun little project. Who knows where and how this may get played.

There are songs that friends of mine have written that I play. They are not always aware that I or anyone else is playing their songs. Some of them are not even still alive. I might say "this one is for Joe" no one at the gig knows who Joe was....but I do.

Songs very often get passed around in a very strange manner. Someone sent me a email from China, Mongolia to be exact telling me how much they liked one of my blues tunes. How does someone in China find a completely unknown person like me. Well, yes it happened because of soundcloud, but what are the chances of that.

It is getting late here, in more ways than one....

Best to everyone,

Billy

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig?
“Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”
