My best friend wrote this right befor he passed away about 4 months ago,His wife asked if i would put it to music,I said i would be honored.Its Ruff but so was He:-)
Nice song. I bet he is smiling. Check out some of wilbert harrison's one man band stuff. I think you will find it inspiring. I learned a ton about groove from him when I blew harp in his 1 man band set up. Walter

cool walter and thanks i bumped it just hoping i might here from you,and and also thanks tookatooka.Ill have to check out the 1 man band stuff im still working on mine,But this song i did the parts seperatly,with 3 month old guitar strings,lol i wasnt planing on posting but i was practicing some harp riff to a hip hop jamtrack at 85 bpm then i thought hey i can add a simple 1-4-5 in G with the guitar over that cause i was using a C harp that i just reuned from ET-JT a star performer i was testing seeing how the retuning went,then i remembered the song i was asked to write for my best friend and thought this would work good with that,I added the hand drums,and pulled the drum machine track i was keeping time to and thought,This would work Bob liked simple stuff and the blues, it works well with his song,then i added some tracks of the only time we ever recorded cause he was just learning to play a guitar a few months befor he died so i didnt have much but,His mom and wife really loved the song and thats what i was trying to do in a round about way,As far as the 1 man band im still practicing every night i hope to have some more soon to post with just the 1 man band set up but im still wood shedding.:-)But thanks for the tips on Wilbert Harrisons music ill check him out.
