Let's Have Some Fun

We were recently watching some western swing bands on YT as we like the genre and used to play a bit of it in our bluegrass band days before settling in with our nowadays blues rock. Janice had written a little blues lyric but we decided to try it as a western swing tune. Our friend and music partner PeterF is on vacation/holiday and couldn’t join in so we comped up a RT guitar track for the solo and I threw in a simple upright bass track. So here’s all of its two minutes. As always thanks to PG Music for letting it happen. Lyrics are on SC. We appreciate your time if you choose to check it out!
