Sounded like a great combination of Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee and a ragin Cajun. Good one old friend.

Thanks guys, you would have to know more about the story behind it to fully appreciate it. It took me 10 seconds to steal the idea from Chuck, 10 minutes to write the lyrics and 1 take to record. Then transfer from card to PC and upload to Box. Isn't technology wonderful?

Don... take a look at any high rolloff function on the slapback you put on the guitar. That echo is a bit bright for the period (all they had back then was tape slapback, which limits highs quite a bit).

But a fun tune... LOL

Thanks Diki, I remember using an old Echoplex tape delay back then. I'll try it.

guitar
Don plays better Guitar on keyboard than most Guitar players I see on TV and here in Colorado. This includes famous people like Elvis, Cash, Kris, Willie, John Denver and ten thousand more that I don't even know. Don even plays better guitar on the keyboard than he plays on this tune too.

I like em!!!!

Ron, If I weren't in such a fix and had a decent vehicle, I could be there in 10 or 11 hours. Sides, I'm too dang old.

Where do you live? One of my best friends ever is a great keyboard player and vocalist. He does the Carmel, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, and Monterey areas. He goes by "Sonny G. "A real musician" in every respect. He can play anything from Wynton Kelly and Bill Evans to Floyd Cramer. Really!!!

Scott Yee met him a few years back. He liked Sonny. Let me know if you heard of him, eh?

I bet your friends got a kick out of your tune Don. You seem to have a knack for making up cleaver songs. I remember you did impromptu song for one of your golf buddies when I saw you play in Benton. I think he was too drunk or hard of hearing to fully appreciate it though.
