Got Too High

"Mammy's" - a hidden musical gem written for the notorious band member, Charles Bond. This intriguing melody was never sung in public by him, but it was bravely performed live for a crash test with Drummer Adam Clark. The recording features the magical touch of the mighty Jamarl Baker on drums, making it a captivating song.
We invited a select group of female supporters to experience "Mammy's," and to our surprise, no one found it offensive; some even found it endearing. The idea for the song likely arose during a long drive with my friend and frequent guitarist, So to Charles Bond. "I LOVE THE SOLOING in this tune." Thank you my "friend". It's still yours to play. I dare you.
Picture two people with a common purpose, but different ideas on how to get there, reveling in the thrill of shocking each other with their words. It can be fun, even sound aggressive, yet rest assured, respect is at the core. On my behalf. As I reminisce, I often ask myself why?  Why?
A special shout-out goes to the mighty Greg Naylor, the man behind the knobs, whose expertise ensured "Mammy's" sounds crisp and captivating, truly capturing the essence of the song.
Now that "Mammy's" is out there, no pun intended, it's time to explain its intriguing allure. Picture it as a song that serves as a want ad for a fictitious gentlemen's club with a particular niche. An extraordinary establishment awaits, and we can only hope that one day, our band member will unveil this dream to the world.
It isn't rare to produce a song about big ladies - hell, it could be its own genre at this point. Like Yacht Rock, And we don't care about norms or expectations; we're doing it anyway because, apparently some of us were into that? No further comment.

This song possesses an unwavering sense of urgency. It refuses to indulge in long-winded melodies, dismissing the fourth beat with impatience. It's a song that even grows bored of its own verse, constantly seeking something more. The previously posted video serves as a testament, documenting the improvised solo.

Now, a word of caution: while this song may resonate with your frustrations, remember to approach real-life situations with thoughtfulness and care. Reactive actions should be reserved for circumstances where lives are genuinely at risk. I implore you, don't harm anyone, as I cannot accept responsibility for such actions.

Take a listen to a battle cry! Tonight, I present to you a song that has run out of patience. Feel free to listen, comment, or share it with someone who might appreciate it. Check some other diddys there if you  are so moved.

Dave Wade, AKA Pimp Nickle, AKA Lemonade, AKA Hand Grenade, AKA Instagrams: Big Cotton Razor, AKA Moonbase, AKA Subdub and occasionally, Travis Davis of the country monstrosity Mark Twang is, a multi-talented musician with a career spanning over three decades. He's known for his skills as a bassist, both live and in the studio, across a range of genres. But it's his live reggae bass performances that have taken him to some of the biggest stages in the country, including the Bob Marley Festival where he performed for a decade. On stage, he works the crowd like a rodeo clown, bringing energy and excitement to his performances.

In addition to his bass playing, Wade is also a skilled songwriter and lead vocalist. His songs draw on a variety of influences, from reggae and funk to rock and jazz. It's this versatility that has allowed him to collaborate with some of the best musicians in Arizona.

One of Wade's early gigs was with the Arizona band Cosmos, where he played for ten years, honing his skills as a musician and performer. The band played Greek, Turkish, and Arabic standards in an updated, danceable fusion style, often featuring other world musicians, belly dancers, and fire performers.

Wade's journey has not been without its challenges. He's faced setbacks and unexpected enemies in the music world, including reggae legends Rita Marley and Judy Mowatt, who have expressed their displeasure with him. He has also been fired by Peter Cetera and Reggie Vinson in separate incidents, though the reasons for the firings remain unknown.

Despite these challenges, Wade remains optimistic and fearless. As he once said, "Fear nothing, there's nothing running around down here but regular humans just like you." This attitude has helped him to persevere through setbacks and continue making music.

And make music he does. Wade's passion for music has led him to work with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Alice Cooper's songwriter, Reggie Vincent. He's also opened for Tony Orlando and Burning Spear, and indirectly saved Jewel from being abducted. Though HR from Bad Brains still owes him a cool hundred bucks, Wade continues to make music and live his dream.

Wade's anti-smoking PSA, which ran in Arizona, California, and New York for seven years, is another notable achievement. Through this campaign, he used his platform to promote a healthier lifestyle and encourage others to quit smoking tobacco and smoke more weed. 

Wade is a big fan of Jaco Pastorius and Bob Marley, and has drawn inspiration from their work throughout his career. He once quoted, "I'm interested in anything I can't immediately count," showing his eagerness to explore new musical territories.

In the end, it's clear that Dave Wade's musical journey is far from over. He's a multi-talented musician, a skilled songwriter and performer, and a true survivor in the music industry. And who knows what kind of wild adventures he'll get up to next? Only time will tell.
