Good job of catching the moment in song. I'm sure we have all shared the aggravation of the inconsiderate driver. In this instance, the language 'fit' the theme and was appropriate for a bluegrass parody. I wasn't bothered by the language but find it rarely used in BG. As a parody, it worked for me and I enjoyed my listen and can associate with the circumstances.

I'm glad you enjoyed your listen, Charlie. I didn't really set out to write a bluegrass tune, but as I fleshed out the lyrics and changes a little voice in my head said, "This tune needs a banjo".grin One thing led to another and, well, you heard the result.

Well, I agree with the sentiment entirely! I cannot stand people on their phones while driving. So if you reach one or two of the people that do this on a regular basis then very well done to you. We need a bumper stick with all these lyrics on it!

I feel your pain when it comes to texting drivers. It's without a doubt my biggest peeve when driving (man, I'm starting to sound like my parents here) smile. A bumper sticker is a fine idea. I originally thought a t-shirt would work for this, but then in a "duh!" moment I realized I was a musician of sorts and perhaps I should write a song about it.

Love it Dan!
No missing that message.
I enjoy songs as opposed to instrumentals because they are about something
whereas instrumentals are more like soundscapes or mood pictures.
It's good to able to do both. Cheers.

Thanks, Rich. I'm more of an instrumentalist usually. It's difficult to sing while playing the saxophone or EWI. Lyrics are far from my strong point, but I think I'll keep pluggin' away at it.

I get the sentiment...and share the feelings. I've played
and listened to bluegrass for 50 years or more and I'll
say that is the most outlying outlier lyric I've ever
heard. What the heck. It was fun.

J&B

I hope I didn't offend any bluegrass purists with this tune. It was certainly not my intent. This is kind of far from where I musically am for the most part. Not much call for bluegrass saxophone players. frown I'm glad that you took it in the spirit it was intended.
