Thanks for such a wonderful comment, Eric.

Beware, Janne. It wasn't revealed, but the ones that are coming are looking for great song writers. You, sir, have a BIG target on you. Sleep well.

Rob

Thanks, Rob. I'm not familiar with Michael Schenker, so now I have a mission.

Bass and guitar work are on a very high level here
You did a really good job
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Thanks, Andi. Yeah, you can tell I love working with Dave. This system of recording where he does his part at his house and I do mine at mine is rather odd, but, man, Dave always comes through as if we were in the same band for years and are playing together in the same studio.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Get down, Marty and Dave!

This is just plain fun and we are fond of little ditties that let you stretch out and have some fun.

You and Dave are in top form here.

Great guitar tone and licks and, man, as always your bass lines are admirably supportive.
And you wrapped it all up in a nice tidy mix.

Fun video too!
Those come hither hands are memorable smile

Cool crazy funky song.

They're always trying to mess with me.... just the way it is. Voices on the radio, voices on the TV......

They're coming.... no doubt. Yep enjoyed that experience.

Excellent tune Marty. Heard this one last week while I was driving down the highway. Super vocal and lyric and Dave hit it out of the park with is solo. Your basslines gave the song such a cool groove. Well done..

Great bass and lovely playing throughout by Dave. Wonderful vocal and a fun lyric.

Excellent (as was the video).

This is what I wrote on your YouTube channel: Why you call this 'nothing'? A delicious funky song! And I thought it were a bunch of cats you were singing about. The lyrics fit perfectly how these hungry creatures behave. But I love them, and that's the same with your song. Very nice, with a gorgeous solo and dealing with nothing...

And I think I don't add more to it. You both did a great job, but that's what you always do. At least in my opinion.

Nice day,
Hans

ABOUT nothing. Thanks, Hans, for both of your comments. Your opinion matters so much, and I appreciate it.

Thanks, Janie & Bud. You're right, it's fun to just stretch out and play without thinking. Do NOT answer those come-hither hands.

Thanks, Floyd. Dave always agrees to do some guitar on my songs to help make them real, so it's good to hand him a song where he can do some smmmmmokin'.

Thanks, Dan. Sometimes it seems easier to do songs like this because you just play.

Marty,

Well, if you were going for funky . . . you nailed it. What a cool song—a lot of elements going on here that are meshed together perfectly. Hard not to rock along with this one. Killer guitar work by Dave. Excellent collaboration, gents!

My best to you both,

Deej

Funkalicious! Should unleash Dave on the funk more often, he really tears it up. Great work all round. Love it.

Leon
