Jim that's cool tune... you are builder of songs that are just blowin' my mind.
I'm proud to say "I know that man"!
You are an indiviguals indivigual... or something like that bro.

This is my last song of the week from 2022! I arranged this one for my brother. He wrote the lyrics and basic melody. It's straight-up rockabilly.
