Wait, that's a guitar?! Sound like some keys interesting.

some of your songs are too heavy for me, this one is great for me

Sweet string vibes! It's like Robby Krieger's soft rocking under girds the delicious blues with Gary Clark Jr.! Boppin' Along has all the perks of upbeat jazz, while still holding onto those rich deep-toned blues! LOVE IT, Brian & Mark! ENCORE!>>

Robert holds his guitar part wonderfully--Emboldening the flavor of the track! Altogether, it just can't be beat! ;)

The Blob advances on the Discoteca Mala Vida. With a mighty roar, he tears the roof off whole and jumps onto the dance floor. The monstrous green thing pops and locks and devours a dancer, then does a hybrid of the classic Lindy hop and the Dougie as he swallows another. The blob spins round, does a flawless Harlem Shake and belches as the crowd scatters.

Sell Me Mrs Rita

Back in the late 80s and before the 1992 Gin Blossoms song, Mrs Rita was an oldschool Tempe AZ psychic card reader home business in a small old bungalow along University Ave in Tempe USA. The house still has a sign out front advertising physic card palm readings. Mrs Rita is a remnant of Tempe before chain breweries, condos, office buildings, and corporate commercial mania took over and demolished and rebuilt much of the town, beginning in the late 1980s. The era of Mrs. Rita was from back when sticky floor cinderblock bars and cheap pitchers of Miller Light combined with chicken wings and late night live-music to produce influential mainstream bands with worldwide radio play. Tempe was like a mini Seattle with dry heat an desert sun and much friendlier 90s grunge kids 

Tempe’s Gin Blossoms are still at it and play this tune about the hometown roadside psychic - and she’s still down the street from where Long Wongs was, where they played that song hundreds of times. And that song can be still found on the radio every single minute of every day ever since and I’m doing my best to keep it going, not tired of it yet - will never happen 

Key PowerPoint summary list of take-away bullet items about the Gin Blossoms Mrs Rita:
* Mrs. Rita became famous when the Tempe band Gin Blossoms named the song after her. She is still there has been renting the same small 1920s house for three decades 
* I tried to go there for a reading one evening with some drunk friends circa 1991 but she said we needed an appointment and told us to come back later - I thought she would have known we were coming over, maybe she did…
* A nine-story luxury apartment complex with a Whole Foods was built across the street from Mrs. Rita's Spiritual Awakening Center in 2018
* Iconic psychic Mrs. Rita apparently didn’t see in the tarot cards that her longtime downtown Tempe house was listed by her landlord and sold shortly thereafter for $2.9 million. Her rent must be astronomical €£¥
* Fact: Mrs. Rita wasn’t aware the house was listed for sale when she was contacted by The Arizona Republic Newspaper - I did my research 
* The band’s guitarist Jesse Valenzuela posted the listing for the property on his Facebook page when he found out. His only comment: "Mrs Rita house for sale." One of his friends posted, "sell me Mrs Rita..."

TURN TO BURN

It’s getting better 
Getting better all the time
I’ll bide my time
I’m stepping back, it’s not a crime

It’s getting better
Getting better all the time
It’s way too heavy
And when I get my way, their gonna have to pay

When we get there 
I’ll trip and hop
I’ll step and dance
Do the jig
I’ll be singing la la la la la
La la la la la
And when we get there
I’ll trip and hop
I’ll step and dance
I’ll be singing

It’s my turn
My turn to burn
My turn in the spotlight
My turn to shine bright
Time to get what I want
Time to get what I need
It’s my turn
Time to leave things behind
My turn to burn
My turn to burn

When I get there
I’ll scream and shout
I’ll be bursting
Lose myself
I’ll be singing la la la la la
La la la la la
And when we get there
All of us
Both you and me
We’ll all be singing

It’s my turn
My turn to burn
My turn in the spotlight
My turn to shine bright
Time to get what I want
Time to get what I need
It’s my turn
My turn to burn
My turn to burn
My turn to burn
It’s my turn

G.B.C. - Boppin' Along

Well i wrote this song for the Rolling Stones if they should ever get around to listening to it,  i have always been a big fan so i decided to mix a bit of Gospel, a bit of Blues and Hey presto a new song for Mick and Keith. In true Keith Richard tradition i took my Bass E string off and tuned the guitar to key of G. The main guitar is the Bridge pick up on the Les Paul giving a nice rounded sound and the lead is the bridge pick up more giving a more trebly and cutting through the mix a bit. No processing all clean as they sound. My vocals have a bit of Saturation and distortion and Compression to give me that bluesy sound, hope you'll like it and Mick & Keith if your out there let me know how i did..

Written by Johnny Mc Farlane for the Rolling Stones.

Lyrics:

Every moment
Filled with spirit
now here
Breathe in the space

Heart open 
equanimity,
we walk 
The narrow way

Clear choices, 
pure actions
Be true
Live by faith

In alignment, 
eyes open
Unafraid
Doubts pass away

Caught by nothing
No distraction
Complete
Do not stray

Calm and focused, 
not dreaming
Awake
Time slips away

In the spirit
Not even death
Can take
life away

In the stillness
Find refuge
At peace
On the narrow way
