I loved this song for so many reasons. The lyrics, of course. Feeling that more and more myself these days. Loved the choice of style. The guitar solo was powerful (go Dave!) and that little bit of crumbs at the end. Excellent song, Marty.
Thanks, Beth. So glad you can relate to this one. I knew you would because you are truly one of the givers.
An blue anthem for the common person.
Life as a runaway car, careening...fab similes & cool, cool execution by the voice, the bassist & the guitar man not to mention the program.
FABULOUS.
Thanks, Ray. I gotta make this quick cuz I see a new one with you and Janice.
Marty,
What a great blues tune that the 3 Kings would be proud of!
Love that groove you've established with that oh, so in the pocket bass playing!
Dave's guitar parts are smokin' hot all the way through!
FWIW I always pay attention when Freddie is mentioned! I used to play in a house band in the Houston, Tx area with his piano player that toured with him! Awesome stories were told!
Loved that little vocal ending part!
Thanks, TB
"Wee 3 Kings with Blues and guitar." Isn't that how that Christmas song starts out? Thanks, Torrey Wow, that's a great experience you had. Were you singing in the house band too?
Your turn to crack me up. "all the King's men" HAHAHA!
I love that you write about things that actually matter. Often, easing the message with humor.
Yummy Bass.
Dave doing some of his best work. Smokin.
GOOOOOOD.

hehehe. If you're cracked up, you may need to call them to put you back together. Thanks so much for such an encouraging comment, Floyd.
Love this song, Marty, just a blast to play over!
Nice that you found those old pictures of me to use during the guitar solo too
"And there's just a few crumbs left", cracks me up every time
Haha, thanks, Dave. Yeah, I asked Kathy for some of your old pics. Always wondered why you were playing on a dump heap, but they fit the song so well. hehehe. Seriously friend, I appreciate you immensely.
Marty, great groove and production on this one. You guys can both really play! The write has a lot of truth in it. 55 years ago I wrote a song with a chorus that said “They hit me for a nickel, they hit me for a dime.” Not a lot has changed except the denomination. Blame it on inflation. I hope you can continue to stay positive. Although l’ve heard it said -A pessimist is an optimist with experience. Smiles never hurt. I enjoyed the song a lot.
Thanks, Tom. Man, you knocked me out with that 55-years-ago comment. I said, Man he must be old. Then I realized 55 years ago I had also written many songs. "They hit me for a nickel, they hit me for a dime." They hit me on the upbeat and couldn't make it rhyme. hehe Had to. It was like someone going "Shave and a haircut..." and not saying "two bits."
