Great song, Marty, lots of fun. Thanks to everyone that mentioned my part.

Right? Playing Blues is Heavenly. Thanks, Dave. Even when you play the non-bluesy stuff I send you, the result is always the same ---heavenly.

Excellent write (one of your best) and a phenomenal vocal interpretation.
I like the hook and that your had a different rhyme preceding it each time.
Dat Be Dave. No need to say it, but I'm happy to anyway. Thanks, Scott. Cool you noticed. Also, the second line of the first verse rhymes with the second line of the second verse. If there was a fourth verse, its second line would've rhymed with the second line of the third. Wierd things I do --sometimes intentionally, and sometimes totally unnoticed until later, which leads me to believe that Creativity is something bigger than all of us. A great gift.

Great song and sound you two! Classic blues at its best.
Thanks, David. Yeah, the idea is instead of black or white, blues players always saw blue. Now, when they actually enter Heaven, all bets are off.

It so well carries the poignant lyric and melody.

Dave's solo nails the vibe ... the already mentioned word "haunting" well describes it.

As always you played the perfect bass for the feel and that piano was very nice.

And you wrapped it all up with a fine audio mix and video.

Superb!

Thanks, Janice & Bud. Heck, thanks for being you. I love everything about y'all.


Enjoy whatever happens!
