So.... It's been a while since I have been able to record something new. Just a lot going on.

I heard someone make a comment the other day similar to the title of this song and thought... that would be a cool song.

So here it is.

A few things to note.

1. Quite a bit of this is one take and done. Vocals and guitar parts.

2. There's warts I didn't opt to fix. No vocal correction whatsoever.

3. I'm showcasing a new modeling amp in this one. I used the Spark amp with a clean rhythm, a crunchy undercurrent in a few places,
it's not that evident, and a country crunch on the lead. Using the Modern tele on the strat pickup...

4. All 3 guitar tracks are me, and I'm also playing the piano parts and that was also a one take almost disaster. Cakewalk Sound Center Grand piano.

5. BB is providing the drums and the bass which is a Texas Rock style bass and something in 8 rock drums.



Flip Phone




Flip phone guy in a smart phone world

I wear my bluejeans every single day of the week,
and a flannel shirt is my kind of chic
You won't see me wearing satin or silk oh no
I have a ball cap perched up on my head
My favorite Tshirt color is red I drive an F-150 with a 6' bed.

I'm just a flip phone guy living in a smart phone world
Technology has me all twisted up, leaving my head in a whirl
I'd rather listen to a (my) radio playing George Jones, Conway or Merle
I'm just a flip phone guy in a smart phone world

A buddy of mine said he'd give me a call, later in a video chat
well excuse me friend but I don't know, what the hell you're talking about
Yeah I've heard about twitter and a couple of those things, that I just don't understand
Just call me up on the telephone, family plan.



Hope you got a smile and enjoyed it.
