Hi All,

We were inspired last year by David Snyder’s great song “Eduardo’s Bodega”. David's backstory & original version is here.

I told David that we would love to do a cover. This is our version complete with a video that we had a bit of fun with. You’ll see Joliz and me in the doorway of Eduardo’s, and an advertisement poster for David appearing “live” somewhere in town. smile

This one is for you David!

Eduardo's Bodega
The lights are out
No more cigarette packs
What's that all about
No more Nico in Chelsea
Or the ghost of Lou Reed
Eduardo's Bodega
Used to have what I need

Now I look in the dumpster
I look on the street
No more butts in my pocket
So I look at my feet
Could go to the east side
Take the uptown train
Maybe jump a few turnstiles
Not stay in the rain

Maybe take Jane Street
But I don't know why
Go over to Carmine
With the mafia guys
Just don't go down Bank Street
At this time of night
It's too dark on Barrow
Since they shut out the lights

Eduardo's Bodega
I'm saying goodbye
But I can't find a taxi
Yeah I can't catch a ride
Can't call an Uber
Cause I'm blacklisted now
Stuck here on Gay Street
Guess I can't leave town

And Eduardo's Bodega
Man they're tearing it down
One more line in my song now
Guess I'll see you around
One more line in my song now
Guess I'll see you around

Ha! Awesomeness indeed.

Love David's version, but the two of you have really grabbed it, pulled it close and made it your own.

Love everything about this. Just everything.

Watched the excellent video but had to go straight to SoundCloud so I could register my "like" there, too.

Outstanding craftsmanship by all.

Brilliant song by David! And a brilliant performance from you two.

Enjoyed the video, nice seeing you and Joliz in the doorway, and the poster of David up on the wall.

A natural for you to do this one, almost sounds like a BD write. Liked the simple but oh so effective video, and the main vocal was perfect. Great job, Bob!

Very nicely done.

I like to see folks here covering the songs of other folks here.

AH, this is so... amazing, wonderful, and a fine tribute from the song writing machine to the man in the machine. Love this song. You and Joliz are a very talented duo.


Enjoy whatever happens!
