Mug-Slingin' Brawl on Soundcloud
Mug-Slingin' Brawl on YouTube Where there is credit, there is potential for blame. So I blame BiaB for the story in this song because of the name of the Style that inspired it. Ironically, I'm not much of a drinker, and (other than karate tournaments) I was only in 2 fist fights in my life. Both of them were before I was 12, and both ended in one punch. File:Mug Slinging Brawl.SGU Key=G , Tempo 108, Length (m:s)=3:15 Style is _MUG.STY (Mug Swinging Reso Shuffle) RealTracks in style: 1591:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm TexasBluesRockShuffle Sw 130 RealTracks in style: 2676:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm BluesShuffleBrent Sw 130 RealTracks in style: 3972:Guitar, Resonator, BackgroundSoloist BluesShuffleRob Sw 120 RealDrums in style:BluesRockShuffle^2-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride Dave Bell of Blue Attitude showed yet another style he can coax his guitar into playing with the perfect fills and solos. I sang and played bass. Mug Slingin' BrawlThere was something goin' down way out on the edge of town. I detected from its sound it was a brawl. The sounds of broken glass and the bouncer on his [*****] told me I should go and have a ball. It's more fun than dancin' so come and watch 'em fall. A mug slingin' brawl. Well, I was in the middle of the fight of my life when a kitty caught my eye as a right flew by. I'd love to sit and chat, but ya see here where I'm at. I'm stuck in this mug-slingin' brawl. By the time I reached the place there was whiskey on my face from the throwing crew that had a few. I ducked right in the way of a brawler making hay and like the flying mugs I flew. I staggered back and fell and then bagan to slowly crawl for more mug-slingin' brawl. Soon the kitty came around and found me on the ground and said, we gotta get out of here. She threw her whiskey glass, and grabbed my arm so fast, but I reached for another beer. She slapped me on the face and said she'd seen it all in this mug-slingin' brawl.

Lols go with this, Marty.
I can only remember one bar brawl I was in after a show (although there were many I escaped) when a guy jumped me while I wasn't looking.
He wasn't happy that his girlfriend was paying me too much attention.
Between the punches I recollect my 5 foot 2 inch mother wading in and furiously smacking him around the head with her bag.
Oh what fun we had in the '1960's
Anyway, your song brought back memories.
Love the bass sound.
Vic

SOOOOOO glad you like it, Floyd. Just be careful what you drink with that popcorn. The wrong mixture could act like mentos and coke. Lols go with this, Marty.

Vic Ah, Vic, that's because you were a star. I was the typical bassist and had a hard time convincing the girls I was in the band. Man, the story you mention is TOTALLY worth your time to put to music. You are a great troubadour.

WOW !!! Grinning from ear to ear, my jaw on the floor, in awe. Seriously: this is superb :-) Made me smile, made me grin, made me outright laugh so hard, made me tap my feet. You are talented, far beyond your fair share, lol. The story in the lyrics is a hoot, and the music suits it like a glove! Hats off to you! :-)

The whistle on [***] was appropriately silly. Credit to you and Dave, no blame! Thanks, David. There was a time I planned on using all of the usual sounds from the old Batman TV show --you know, POW, BAM and all that, but the song wouldn't hold up to that kind of intrusion. Cool story with a great production to bring it to life, Marty! Nice guitar lick too
Dewey Thanks, Dewey. You're right about those guitar licks. They put the song on a much higher shelf.

Very nice blues rock tune. I enjoyed that song.
If you've played in some of the kinds of dives and biker bars, in the early years, like I have, you learn to keep playing if at all possible during a fight in the bar.... I've played a few places that had chicken wire across the front of the stage to protect the band.
I recall a few that were classics. I won't recount them here...maybe in another thread.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Ah, good question, Dan. They were almost identical. Each time I ran at least 90 feet at my opponent, jumped in the air and came down with a fist to the top of his head. Over. Thank you!! WOW !!! Grinning from ear to ear, my jaw on the floor, in awe. Seriously: this is superb :-) Made me smile, made me grin, made me outright laugh so hard, made me tap my feet. You are talented, far beyond your fair share, lol. The story in the lyrics is a hoot, and the music suits it like a glove! Hats off to you! :-) Man, I'd love to see you listening, James. I totally treasure your commments. Very nice blues rock tune. I enjoyed that song.

HA! Right, Herb. Played in a band that thought the bar fight was a song request of sorts. One of my favorites was "I Fought The Law" for those occasions. Man, I'll be following you around now just to hopefully hear more of those stories. I was playing in coal country, and those bar owners refused the cost of chicken wire.

Good fun as well as a very good mix. Thanks, Ray. Yeah, a friend of mine once said, "When the fight begins I change from playing swing on my bass to swinging my bass." Marty, you kicked @ss on this one!
Great vocal and lyrics.
Dave, great licks!
All blended to perfection.
Loved it. Thanks, Mario. It's always a blast.

Swinging is important in a brawl, I suppose. Funny you say that about Suma. A friend from Tennessee, who hadn't heard the song yet, sent me some video he made of a Suma meet, but it was too late to include in the video. Marty
