Less than an hour after declaring my bluesy October project at an end I came up with this. It's almost like I don't even listen to myself.
The guitars are all Stratocaster and the lyrics are about raking leaves. No, seriously.

October Music Continues with a second song with a bit of a swing to it. The guitars are all Stratocaster and the lyrics were written off the top of my head in about 3 minutes. I think this one is a tad too long, but otherwise I don't loathe it.
