Money In The Bottle on Soundcloud
Money In The Bottle on YouTube First song of the year. A bear to mix with a strong horn section blended with the vocals and Dave's screamin' guitar. A break song about making sure the 12-piece band stays in existence. Comments good and bad are always gratefully appreciated. Style is _MISSION.STY (Mission Shuffle Blues Horns) RealTracks in style: 2728:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm BluesShuffleMike Sw 130 RealTracks in style: ~558:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Freddie Sw 140 RealTracks in style: 3998:Horn Section, Rhythm BluesShuffleChris Sw 130 RealTracks in song: 4393:Multi[Simultaneous=4] AltoSax, TenorSax, TenorSax, BariSax, RealTracks in song: 3780:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm RockNRollSweep Sw 120 RealTracks in song: 4395:Multi[Simultaneous=4] AltoSax, TenorSax, TenorSax, BariSax, EZDrummer Dave Bell ( Blue Attitude) played guitar. Bill Davis ( zydecoal) sang harmony and I played bass and sang. Money In The BottleWell it's time the band stepped down. We'll be back in just a bit. See, the drummer's playing dead, and the bass man needs a hit. So you know we'll be right back, after Chissy's snack attack. Put the money in the bottle. We'll take 5 to let our fingers mend. You know money in the bottle will bring us back again. Well, our singers need a break or they'll lose their sonic charm. If we don't get off this stage, we could trip the smoke alarm. So we must stop real soon, or we might just flood the room. Put the money in the bottle. We'll take 5 or else we'll wet the floor. Put the money in the bottle we'll be back for more. Put the money in the bottle. We'll take 5 or else we'll wet the floor. If there's money in the bottle we'll be back for more.

Holy Moly Marty, Dave, and Bill you have just produced the best blues song of 2026! It is going to be harder than breaking a diamond to beat this one.
This is better than most all of the blues songs at Alligator Records.
Everything is perfect.
Loved it!
PS - Taking a short break for a long time? The best song ending ever!

Marty and Dave
I’m not normally a blues person, but this is so good, I was *almost* converted!
That video … very entertaining, and loved the band’s coordinated dance moves!
I think you have peaked too early in 2026! Well done!

This is just a fantastic song! The instrumentation and production is 100%. The video is a blast, too, and I suspect it won't be long before AI can reproduce the whole band actually playing the music as it is with the performers actualised just from photos. I initially read the title as "Money in the Barrel" as I have 4 mini--actual-barrels which are money boxes and were meant for friends' grandkids and my great-great-nieces, but the first thing to go wrong was that they should have had names inscribed on metals plates, but the barrels arrived without them, which must have been a synchronicity as it turned out they weren't wanted as all of the kids are already using cards and thus don't save cash! Well, ya can call me a pre-postmodern venerable rear end breezy one (Waoist woke for 'old fashioned old fart'), but I still like cash! The money boxes - which are actually very cool - are now destined for a charity shop. … I probably am, too! 
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.
