Hopefully, a nice bit of post-punk CBG thrashing, less than 2mins so nobody gets too bored. Tried to be clever with the camera app, so this may look shonkier...

    Good sound and great playing.

    Thanks Derek, Jim- indeed, anyone and everyone for your kind words. One constant theme has had me review the piece, and I will admit that there's more than a little Wilko Johnson about the right hand...

    (If you don't know the name, check out the stuff he was doing pre-'76- it's out there guys'n'gals)

    Does make the feet move. Nice and bouncy good rhythmic playing.

    Good line about the knees. No, I'm an ugly dancer! I dance like a boxer, lateral mostly. Your song moves at a quick clip, I'd probably leave my knees to the left when I twist right. Dick Clark would rate this song a 10. I use an iPad myself, amazing mice! They're about the size of a pencil tip.

    The piece I came up with yesterday morning (not kidding) is slower and more thoughtful- but it builds. Might not get that laid down for a couple of evenings; it won't need a drum track but it will need bass and at least two 'tenors'. Has the virtue of being short, but I can't loop it- damn!

    I don't know...I'm hearing the British Wave in your playing...maybe it's just me...but regardless, I like what I'm hearing. It's spunky and toe-tapping. You have great rhythm as well. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

    Snuffy (can I call you Snuffy?- I don't think I have ever been so ENCOURAGED by a comment by anyone, at all- musically anyway. Not sure about "Brit pop", but I'm not from the Deep South (more like the flat east) and it would be dishonest to pretend that I am. It's about pushing the envelope, no?
