Last week I witnessed a mom yank her son out of a car in the walmart parking lot. He was with his friends and she was giving him a tongue lashing. I moved closer to hear. Part of what she said was " did you forget that talk we just had about who you were hanging around with? Do you remember the words respect yourself? Do you see those guys laughing at you. etc I thought you go mom. I wrote a song about it. Well, I strayed a bit.
I have a new Breedlove guitar. Dave’s sounded so good in his video, I had to get one. I am totally in love with this thing.
Anyway I put that acoustic track on one side and my prs on the other. The sound of those two, to me, is good. I used a term my grandma used when one has a tendency to gossip etc. She would say “keep your nose on your face” ha ha I also wanted to have the theme of folks in low places …like myself and friends.
