I use to have a studio in a small city and most days I would see these two fella’s walking the streets or asking for some change. They were a visual part of my life so much that if I didn’t see them for a day or two I would wonder where they went. And when I saw them again everything felt complete. Now every street and town has one of these guys. They are part of the streets. I always wondered what their story was. What happened?

I approached this tune in a simple way just with my uke, blues harp and vocals. I used the two finger approach on the midi keys for the bass and drums trying to keep it slightly sloppy to give that in the room everyone playing feel. I could have picked away at the mix but I kept it pretty straight. I am always open for real criticism.
