Your performance is excellent with a tough blues edge. Of course, Dave adds the perfect guitar to support everything. Big punchy mix - sounds great in my speakers.

The stalker discussion is hilarious! I think you remedied that. LOL!

Thanks, Bob. Yep, Charley is not only inspirational, but she's been my most honest critic since she was 4.

Thanks, Bob. Nope, Charley said the second line reinforces the notion. It wasn't until the woman in the story surreptitiously invited the guy over (maybe), that the "stalker" moniker wore off. Happy you liked the ending.

Thanks, Laurent. Yeah, i figured cute characters wouldn't encourage the stalker image.

Well, we just got our covid boosters again and the side effects are hitting me so I'm hitting the Ibuprofen. Very good to hear new songs from you!

Thanks, John. Those songs you mentioned can have harmless uses as well, but "Sitting outside your house" is much harder to mask. Stay safe, man.


Enjoy whatever happens!
