Thanks Vic, Tom Clever title, which is always a good basis for a country song. The song begins with a bang: strong vocal, rocking background, excellent write - and never lets up. Love it!  Thanks for the great review David, Tom Great job on the song. Those clubs were a ton of fun back in the day. Thanks Herb. Sometimes I miss it, sometimes I don’t,Tom

Good Hook
I may have set in one night at the Crabby Lady. Another waterfront dive...lol
Fun stuff
Billy Like Stan’s The Crabby Lady is now 2nd generation. Thanks for stopping by,Tom Fun narrative and a cracking good pace.
Really enjoyable stuff.
As a nit I'd suggest attending to the "old man esses" that jump out a bit.
I'm certain few may notice and fewer care but they jumped out at me so are worth mentioning.
Excellent song. Thanks for listening. I do have old man whistle. Because I whistle while I work and I am definitely old!, Tom

Tom,
It is a song that everyone can feel immediately the scenery as the lyrics are unfolding.
Sounds really fun.
If there is a place like this near my town, I would love to stop by.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thanks Shigeki, Tom Tom,
Right off the bat, without listening or reading any comments, that title, that hook, stellar. Okay, now I'm going to listen....
Toe tapping immediately! Smiling through the whole song!!
That's a HIT. What a terrific write and production. Holy smokes. Standing Ovation!!!!!
Scott
What a great review! Thanks, Tom Surely the best quality for a bartender. Man, I can see the party in every chord, Tom. It must have been a blast seeing you guys up there. Yep, what a great title for Jeff. You still play with a terrific band, Tom. Great write and pleasing production!! Thanks Marty I appreciate your comments, Tom

Honky tonk heaven is what this is!
This hits all our senses as we feel like Scotty beamed us to that club.
The band is rockin’ and your vocals and guitar shine.
You have such a wonderful way with words.
These true life inspired songs are like tiny house short stories and we LOVE them!
Excellent!
