LOVE IT.
Love the whole thing actually.
Dave's kick off is a grand one, the bass is wonderful and the voice is SUPERB.
Thanks, Ray. Yeah, it never ceases to amaze me how he comes up with the perfect track even when it ain't the Blues.

Once again - top notch, in every single way, from the lyrics to the musical writing, to the guitar interlude and, last but definitely not least, your wonderful, slightly ironic singing, which fits the song like a glove. Congrats smile
Thanks, James. I couldn't find a sick-enough calliope so did some out-of-tune guitar with a wonky keyboard. I guess the irony I hear is my happiness for the clown because now he doesn't have to wear that ridiculous makeup. Turns out he scared kids without it.

Enjoy whatever happens!
