Thanks, Tom. Yes, leading them into the dot game is good if the juice is worth the squeeze. The guitar requires no effort, so we thank Dave for giving the song that exta squeeze.

...and of course a most Happy New Year to both of you !

Why did I get a hint that this was all about
a chessgame - or rather many games (kingdoms) (chuckle) !

In any case, a very good tune and performance I´d say !

Cheers
Dani
Thanks, Dani. There is a chess reference in the video --appropriately a bad checkmate move. Thanks for the inspiration for the low note.

Is there something going on out there or something?

Is there some kind of big bad Boogeyman with orange hair floating around the world like a big balloon scaring everybody with his shadow?

Maybe some kind of nightmare were there are some people who are covered in Bear skins running around yelling and voting Republican? Maybe some skinny old 90-year-old women who are still in office with faces that look like dried up raisins pointing their little pointy fingers, and other old dried up carcasses yawning and drawling and falling asleep in their chairs?

I wouldn't know you know because I don't read the news but if that is the kind of stuff that's going on that would be really scary!!!

Good song man!
Well said, David. The News is the worse place to get the truth, but you gave me a great idea for a song. wink

Interesting story, I'm sure future generations will be pondering its meaning. Good song, good vocals, enjoyable guitar/bass playing.

Enjoy whatever happens!
