Thanks for listening and especially for your generous comment.

It is increasingly difficult to accept credit for my music since my introduction to BIAB.

An additional bonus; I'm learning to speak Canadian, eh?

Really well done Don! Love the throwback vibes on this one, and the groove is infectious. It has a ton of attitude and got my toe tapping right away. I can see this one packing the dance floor.

Thanks for sharing smile

Dang ... no body told me Carl Perkins' band was in the house!!! Gotta love that Rockabilly. I've played a lot of it when I was still with the band. That was a really nice listen ... loved the song - took me back a few years!!! Best to you, my friend ...

Great sounding rockabilly tune...
I'm happy to see you are back posting again, son...
I was worried about you...
Keep knocking them out like you did on this one.

"Son!?"

I turned 78 last week! Definitely on the downhill side of the curve.

My only regret is that I have outlived so many wonderful musician-friends.

You really nail that guitar. Harder to play than you think.

The guitar and the sax both sound really fantastic. I have a feeling that I am going to be humming this one later.

I think you did a really good job on this one, and thanks for sharing!

Don,
cool period piece! Nicely arranged. I believe 50s music is way undervalued today. It is like Ali Baba cave yet to be discovered.

Thank you for sharing!

Here is an edited version with an improved ending. I did a long fadeout and removed the stray notes in the last bar.
