A very nice song that brought back the memories.
Your vocals always let me think of JJ. Gale.

I listened to both versions; on YouTube and SoundCloud.
They both sounded good to me.

Enjoyed them a lot,
Hans



Thanks for checking out both versions, Hans, I appreciate it.

Good bass from Marty.
Vocal needs more vol.
Well did.

I'm a huge J.J Cale fan, so I'll take that!

Thanks, Vic.

Dave - great song! I'm with Greg, I thought it was CCR you had backing you when that first guitar came in - and I like CCR. I liked the writing and idea for the song, and the music was super cool. Loved the guitars - and Marty's bass was extra icing on the cake!

'Born On The Bayou' type of intro brings instantly smile. The message is important to remember, do it for you, good to have another similar after Marty's Start At The Stars.

Very good band, nice rhythm and drums sound perfect in the mix, enjoyable guitar and bass playing. You got the right stuff smile

Nice frog in the video smile

As you know, we love the rhumba blues and this sounds awesome!

Bud being older than most here can claim his first blues album was B.B. in the late 60's smile

You wrote a fine lyric/melody and, man, it was well supported by your and Marty’s performances.

And the vid was most supportive of the vibe and lyric.

Love that groove!

Hi Brad, yeah, I listened to a lot of CCR back in the day, I like them too. Played a few of their tune in a cover band I has in many years ago. Thanks for the kind words! Time for a new one from you I think wink

Yeah, funny that Marty and I both had songs with a similar message at the same time. And yeah, I'm a fan of the frog too, make me smile whenever I see it smile

Thanks, Janne!

My first B.B. album was B.B. King in London, also would have been early 70's. He was backed up by some of the British blues guys, I think Peter Green was one, and I think Ringo was on a cut too.

Thanks for the support and kind words, Bud, very much appreciated!
