Good blues! I enjoyed the vocals, lyrics, and the guitar solo. Fun video, but some of those digital funhouse mirror faces were... freaky!

But it seems like such a good idea at the time!
I gott a real chuckle out of this. Haha. I can take this a lot of different ways, Bryon, and I like them all. Thank you. Hi Marty,
Great blues tune - I enjoyed the whole song.
Well done
Best Regards
Nigel Thanks, Nigel. You seem like such a fun guy to have n a band. Marty...you slay me with your videos...that was hilarious!...honestly first time through I didn't even hear the song I was so busy laughing...but needless to say...great song!...you ad Dave are magic together...you guys can really nail a blues riff and your lyrics are always smart and full of wit and in this case "good advice"...I'm a big fan of your music, musicianship, use of the tool (BiaB) and your light heart! HAHA. Thanks, Mark. Dave is so much fun to work with --er, I mean play with. You are so kind with such words. I blush with a huge smile. Man what a blues song, really enjoyed the listen, the guitar solo is spot on!! Thanks, Ronnie. Dave is the best.

I listened on Soundcloud first and got a chuckle ... Then I saw the video and was laughing out loud! It's hard to type when your eyes are watering like this. That was great. I've never made a video, but if I ever do I'll be coming to you for some Good Advice! HAHA. Anytime, Brad. I'd be happy to help. Marty,
listening, not watching, so I can focus.
My 1st impression was that I could hear this on a 78 with Lady Day singing.
It's the sort of "done me wrong" song that women do oh, so well.
That said, your performance - slow, calm, not overselling the punch line, is REALLY cool.
Dave's guitar is icing on the cake - as usual.
Fabulous. Yeah, I hear what you mean, Ray. About the icing on the cake, I mean. Haha. No, you're right, this is a lamenting plea from one blue woman to another. That's my inner anima. Man you guys nailed these blues
Everything is so good that it ought to be in the Alligator Records catalog.
Outstanding in everything
PS - I'm glad that I listened this song on Soundcloud before I saw the video otherwise I would have missed a lot of the song due to my L-ing O L! Thanks, Mario. Man, I can only imagine the video you'd make for your newest song, Math Quiz. Thanks, Rob. That sounds extra special coming from such a talented fellow.

Thanks to the couple of people that mentioned my guitar work in this song, and thanks to Marty for the invite!
Man, such a great song, was a blast to be involved. And then the video, must have watched it 20 times I think! Haha. What a humble use of the word "Couple," Dave. A Babu song without you in it just ain't a song, man. Thanks for being there in so many ways. Perfect tempo for a really 'blue song' about the blues.
Clever lyrics and an ideal choice of instruments for the style. Thanks so much for the listen and comment, AT! I really like that "'blue song' about the blues." "Listen to your heart, and don't think twice.
'Two wrongs will make it right' is bad advice."
Amen bro and only if more folks recognized that.
You have the whole package going here ... cool write, great vocal and bass performance.
Oh yeah, and that guitar man is smokin' with that dark vibe. Seems like we've heard of him.
Great arrangement and mix indeed ... got sort of a swing/shuffle hybrid going.
And the video? Funny and immensely creative!
Two fine productions.
J&B
Thanks, J&B. A HUGE compliment from such an accomplished duo. Marty
Loved it and the video was great.
Excellent vocal, great lyric and wonderful guitar playing by Dave.
Superb work by both of you.
Peter Thanks, Peter. Man, only on a forum like this can someone get such kindness from someone I'm such a fan of.

Marty,
KILLER Blues.
Love that opening. Dave is "sangin'" - beautifully musical. And OOOOOHHH, that BASS!!
Cool song. Good write. Awesome vocals (your best!, I think).
Excellent solo, Dave! Love that tone!!
MIX is excellent.
Had to go watch the video after reading a few comments. Your Best! Now I have to read the rest of the comments to see if you talk about how you did that (I've never seen those effects before - SO entertaining...)
GOOD music!!!!

Nice dark blues with a clear message. The hilarious video shows the story also from the humorous angle. Cool vocal delivery is perfect for the blues. Enjoyed the melancholy chord progression and the nice bassline. Dave just gets better like old wine  Janne Thanks, Janne. Such kind words make me feel just terrific. Marty,
Killer guitar work right out the gate, given this a chill blues feel (lead and bass). Love the video . . . really compliments the tune. The vocal is great, the mix stellar. Impressive effort!
Stay well—
Deej
Thanks, Deej. BiaB sets the table and Dave delivers the main course. Good blues! I enjoyed the vocals, lyrics, and the guitar solo. Fun video, but some of those digital funhouse mirror faces were... freaky! Thanks, David. I know what you mean. My wife, who hides under a blanket when the baseball game gets too tense, can't even look at some of those faces. Nicely done Marty.
Love the video btw.
Vic Thanks for giving it a spin, Vic.

Hey Marty & Dave ...
What a hoot of a video to along with a super song! Your videos are always so darn good! Mt grandfather once told me that advice is something you give away because you don't want to use it yourself. H e was a pretty smart old guy with a 3rd grade education. H e was my hero growing up.
Loved everything about this - pure pleasure all the way!

Thanks for all of that, Floyd. I used an app called Snapchat that my granddaughter started me using. She's 7 and I want to grow up to be just like her. Hey Marty & Dave ...

That might be bad advice but seriously, who hasn't contemplated those revenges?
Cool song.
