I am currently working on a Concept album with a good friend of mine and great musician/ guitarist Chuck D. Although this track does not feature Chuck , it was developed based on the chord progression he came up with which opens the song up. We…
@ fallinupart, just sharing the progression of this tune from the beginning. And in the process driving alonetoners mad! Lol! Thank u for the comments and listens...again and again. ,)

All about my business I just closed down. 'The Strip Joint', got myself a real job, employed & being paid !!!!! Mind you, most likely I'll have the pants sued off me & I'll end up a bankrupt......That's life...........
To much.political.correctness for a proper strip joint operation nowadays. Sonewhere along the line someone thought that combining a steak house with a strip joint was wise. Boobs, beef, beer and a boner! Not in that order.
I wrote this little ditty back in May, did an acoustic demo and then played it to one or two people. I always meant to do something a bit more, er, "expansive" with the thing... So I stuck it in the corner for a bit and forgot about it.

This deserves another WOOF!
One of my faves.
I can hear this as a score or similar.

Nice choice. A good melody to experiment with.
