Believe it or not, I was sitting in a hotel room reading Tolkien when I came up with this. Actually, the amazing thing is that I actually remembered enough of it when I got home a week later. Needless to say, this took a lot of time to record…

An acoustic version from my live demo.

Theme to something. Not quite sure what.

I abuse Jeff Lynn's (ELO) wonderful song. I sing it a minor 3rd lower then originally recorded by ELO since I wanted to use my 12-string guitar and it is a lot easier to play tuned down to reduce the tension a bit. voice 12 string rhythm…

I also recorded this once through on the Martin and Zoom H-2 yesterday as well. One day I'll do a decent version of this, I promise. For now this is my modest Happy B-day to John.

2x 5 string bass, electric piano, vox I tried adding percussion via playing drums on my keyboard. It was way ugly. So... I think I'm done unless someone wishes to lend a hand.

I wrote this after seeing the film "I'm Not There" about all them Bob Dylans. The early acoustic take of the song was much more nasaly. ©2010 Sandy Gritt

Tom Waits has so many great songs. This one's from his stellar album "Mule Variations". We all need something to believe in...and chocolate is so easy to love.
