A1(M)

A new song about a much taken for granted British icon The Great North Road - I got the idea for the song when i heard the road remains a favourite with Truckers, everyone in the UK has used it at one time or another and are always glad to get off it, I've done a few ton up and down there myself, it's really not such a bad trip!A taster from the new "Slowpaw Brew" mini-album, I shouldn't think I could manage this song live, it's really a band number though I'd enjoy seeing what a more talented player could do with it!
