I didn't read the lyrics at first and thought you sang "There once was a wise man, they called him MOFO John" Sorry, I must get my ears syringed lol! Great song and vibe anyway.

thanks Chris....yeah whenever I've played there, or at the Jam club, it's never sounded as good as when I play it at home. I wanted to try just using amp and not going through the PA at all, but as it was SO busy I thought it wouldn't be loud enough. Oh well early days and lots to learn!
