Fiddling around with an open G tuning and I found the chord that 'Prodigal Son' is based on (a Robert Wilkins tune from the 30s made famous by the Stones) so I had a play around with it, stopped for dinner and came back and wrote the lyrics…
I needed a place to host a work in progress where it wouldn't be obvious so you might have found a secret mix!!!
So that 4 minute song with the slide guitar that no-one listens to is gone ;-)

OK it's the morning after the party at the China Quay, and our hero is waking up. What has happened?
Influenced by about 6 different doowop tunes (great for hangovers!)
thank you for the comment! i'm slowly learning how to make harmonies, some songs its just much harder on, and other just work themselves out almost... wierd. i sometimes use outside harmony help, i'll find a harmony on my guitar first or something to that nature...

I go back far enough to remember waiting for Ruben and the Jets to be issued on CD, but I think you might have me beat there, kirk. One of my favourite discs. I could get into some beefier backing vocals - that'd be fun.

HA HA- I hear this and all I can think of is Flo and Eddie doing background vocals like on Zappa's "Ruben and the Jets" (yeah I go back that far) Great stuff!

@glu - true but it'll be a great party, someone might want to say it to you!
@Bethan - me too! Bring on the potions!
@kirk - it's tonight, and tomorrow til the money runs out or the ship sails!

In the morning, when we awoke, there was nothing. There were no ashes from the fires of the previous evening. The time for decisions was past. "Yes" was the answer to all questions; and none was the knowledge retained. Wisdom laughs at such folly…
thanks - i've had the album on repeat for a while - this is my favourite track, and the whole thing has a lovely laid back earthy vibe. The Good Stuff!
I fell in love with his track on your RPM player. Great to rediscover it here! The moment the guitar started up I was like, "What is this? I know this already!"
Faved again
Comments on Gumbo's stuff
get the yard cut with that sangria? :-) hope it was motivational.
LOL Yes! That's what this needs - a video with thunderstorms and dancers!
I really like the pace of this one. Very laid back... at least it made me very laid back. Also, this is about the speed at which I can actually dance.

*sways* Oh what a moonlight serenade! LOVING your upper register!
How could she say "No" after that?
Laughed all the way through this one. Fun. BTW... I have Ruben and the Jets on vinyl.

Damn- I don't think I can get m passport together by tonight! A fish fry on the west coast of Ireland- what could be better!
@glu - true but it'll be a great party, someone might want to say it to you! @Bethan - me too! Bring on the potions! @kirk - it's tonight, and tomorrow til the money runs out or the ship sails!
time is about the only thing i have right now but I doubt you were calling me baby :-)
Ha ha, mm, very witty sir! I asked for that.
Too cool- Love it! When's the fish fry?
Hahaa! Certainment! Bring your potions - the more the merrier!
Yee Haa, Can I come? You'll have to get rid of that Savage woman!
I've got the time. :-)
Jammin' I love your style man.
Great song!
Love this song, but have to say, these are just f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c lyrics.

Dressed the part and perfectly plundered!
THIS is another great chill track. Love the Eastern guitar. O and then Edel comes in. Glorious. Guess what? Faved!
