Song Week 2024 – Week 30 This is the third iteration of this song. It was first written in 2018 as a slow blues number. I re-recorded it with a new vocal in 2022. Honestly, it was too long and slow to play live. I like the song and so when I tried it out live I moved it to this blues rock version. Now it motors along just fine.

Song Week 2024 – Week 29: With hindsight I think I have been exploring an idea for a TV theme here.
