Minor correction--Got stuck in a queue should read "Got stuck in a Q", understandable gloss.
Tilden's arrangement did a fantastic job of making my errors sound natural, better than if I had crafted them more. I am really impressed. My oldest has done album production and he really got a charge out of it. He's such a sound snob that it means Tilden did extremely well.

Thanks Greg, it's a combination of Boss pedals (GT-1, SY-200, RV-200, OC-5) mixed together with the drum machine in my RC-500 and the direct signal from my Gretsch
Sitting on a bar stool thinking about Jane
I wonder if she still remembers my name
It’s been a long time as you might guess
Last time I saw her it was quite a mess
She called me names and made it clear
She blew me a kiss in the rear view…
Inspired by a gift from my Cousin Danita, a bird whistle.
