Thanks, Beth. I'm with ya on the poor Leon part. A lot of musicians need to work part-time in kitchens. smile

A most enjoyable and fun song, Marty! You can serve up more like this any day!

Andrew
You're right, Andrew. I could run the dishwasher and play bass. The waitresses argued that they bring in more than Leon ever could. They could've at least shared tips with him. Thanks!

Loved this - a new favorite!

Bob
Thanks, Bob. Good nod to Levon, too. Yeah, this was from before they bought all that pink paint.

Stop the music, Marty, and take a bow. Nicely done.
Thanks, Ron. The bongo playing sucked, but I dig the pots 'n' pans in the choruses. My hands hurt like hell after just one take. Not sure where that Leon Russell thing came from, but maybe I started off by asking BiaB for something by him.

Enjoy whatever happens!
