Not been on in a while but this is a collab I did with my pal John Vaughan. John wrote most of the lyrics and I put the tracks together. I think it has a swampy feel.

Vic,
A good song.
An engaging vocal. A very nice production and mix.
(As you are aware, getting involved is key...)

"She don't need a menu as long as there's a pulse"
Great write, lyrics and production.

Thanks dcuny.
Yes it was fun to do. Maybe not strictly politically correct but fun all the same.

Wow - I love when you hear a tune and you can tell it was as fun to make as it is to listen to. Top notch work on the vocal performance, and I thought it was really well mixed too.
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Vic, your backing tracks were spot on for this song. Your mix was excellent. Your vocal was really strong but those lyrics are what took it over the top for me.
This was a fun song to listen too and I get the impression that you had fun doing this!
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Vic (and John),
So well done . . . production is simple and clean, but all the song needs to support an excellent vocal and sweet harmonies. A toe-tapper! Good stuff!
My best to both of you,
Deej

Hi Mario.
Thanks. Yes mostly Johns lyrics apart from the odd line here and there to get it to work in the arrangement.

Lotta fun Vic. Got that Tony Joe vibe going...a good thing.
Actually a lot of good things - like the vocals (great harmony),
the write and the mix. Be nice to know what tracks you used.
Welcome back with a very cool tune!

Hi Jan & Bud
Nice to hear from you.
Thanks for the like. Can't remember what tracks I used. Sometimes I write over them to steal a riff from somewhere.
