I just love Western Swing guitar playing, it's hot and jazz-informed but always with a hint of a wry smile. A lot of Western Swing is humorous music and I enjoy that lightheartedness combined with killer guitar soloing. This song is my own composition and is a take on that style. The batch of videos that came from this lot leave a lot to be desired as regards tone quality but I'm working on it.

Yeah, I know. I have a gazillions of versions of this up on my channel but this one is a particularly pleasing performance, I think.

This is one of those songs where Pete Novitch, our bassist, came in with a bass lick that he wanted to turn into a full blown song. We found the chord changes and put it together--and voila!--another tune to be added to our upcoming record. Our magnificently talented drummer, Eric Huezo, does a killer drum solo here. Kudos, E!
