Thank you, James. Yep. Dave is the best.

We could see them developed into a series of stand alone episodes titled “Marty’s Tales of Life.” 😉

You and Dave are cooking on this with the burners set on high!
We could hear your prisoner’s pleas in Dave’s solo, your vocal is strong and your bass is perfecto.

Nice production and, per always, a complementary video ... all of which we enjoyed.

Need bail money?!😊

Thanks, J&B. Yeah, the kitchen gets hot when Dave cooks. Glad you commented on how well Dave "plays" the lyrics. Well, let's say in this tale dad denied bail --probably becaue he'd have to put up the family home as collatoral and didn't trust his son not to skip town.

Marty & Dave,
Super up & up progression and excellent groove. Ace performance both vocally and musically. Crisp Dave's guitar adds a whole new level. Really enjoyed this tune. The only thing, I thought drums were a bit quiet. Thank you for sharing,
Misha.

P.S. Recently, I picked up an album, a collaboration between Sting & Shaggy., it also had a "trial" tune. Actually I like yours better.
Dad pulled in favors and kept the story out of the Pocono Record. Glad you like the up and up part. My favorite part. Drums are always the hardest part to mix for me. WOW, that's a BIG compliment about the S&S trial song. Thanks!


Enjoy whatever happens!
