Hi Forum friends. Thanks for all the wonderful comments on Down on Your Love!! It really means a lot to me. There is a lot of great talent on this forum and to get such positive feedback is appreciated more than you know. I know there are some on the forum who are Steely Dan fans. I am a huge fan of The Dan!! In my mind, Becker and Fagan occupy a status in music that shares the rarified air with very few, such as Lennon and McCartney. The more I learn about music....arranging, mixing, soloing.....the more these guys just blow my mind. This tune is basically a Steely Dan tribute. BIAB has some great tracks for such music. In fact, recently watching a Steely Dan performance on Youtube, they mentioned Jon Herrington, who was sitting in and plays guitar on this track, as "a long time friend of the band". Hope you enjoy and would love to get your feedback. Take care. Greg

Shorty’s Place

Clock on the wall is stopped at 5:05
But the patrons here don’t notice that at all
Long as the whiskey pours things move ‘round here
And Shorty keeps it rolling to last call

Every night is just the same but no one seems to mind
They drink their entertainment from a glass
Same old crowd is laughing loud
Things move at the same pace
Things don’t ever change at Shorty’s Place

Joey takes the booth next to the telephone
Though he knows it hasn’t rung in 30 years
He leaves the liquor to the younger crowd
But you’ll never catch him once without his beer

Lucy tells her stories how she almost made in big
In the good old glory days of Hollywood
Shorty backs her up with a sly smile on his face
Cause Lucy is the queen of Shorty’s Place

Every night is just the same but no one seems to mind
They drink their entertainment from a glass
Same old crowd is laughing loud
Things move at the same pace
Things don’t ever change at Shorty’s Place
