This is a fiercely good collaboration. It was such a good call to reach out to Single Use for this one. It sounds like a fully produced commercial record (and I mean that in a very goode way... I'd buy it, or at least stream it). It's a bit of a guitar opera, too.

Bill squared, literally! When the sum of the elements creates much more than just their total! Amazing job, great collab!🫶🫶

Really cool original cover Bill! It sounds awesome and great collaboration. Hey I'm a lyric writer if you ever want to collab let me know! I'll DM you. Great job!👍😎✌🏼

heard this over at SU&R's place... admiring the swampy swing and swagger. He sent me over this way to explore yer stuff and it's time well spent!

Great collaboration Bill, and your vocal is (as always) really good :)

🎵 What a fantastic musical collaboration, Bill! The blend of your soulful guitar with Larry's harmonica and Rick's bass creates such an authentic live blues feel ✨ Your adrenaline-fueled performance gives this recording that raw, unfiltered energy that no studio polish could match 🎸 Love how the vocals tell this emotional story of friendship and letting go with such genuine feeling 🌟 The natural timing adds character - it's that human element that makes blues so powerful 💫 This live session at Sipos Recording really captures the spirit of true dirty blues ❤️ Sometimes the most magical moments happen when you just let the music flow naturally! 🎶

Great track and beautiful collab, superb picking👌

A feast of bluesy licks and thoughtful lyrics.  Ha, sometimes I'm torn between being content and "settling for less", perhaps a fine line.  One thing is for sure, both of you didn't settle for less in your playing on this, front-to-back detailed and engaging.

Music was written long long ago. As it sometimes happens I draw a blank lyrically. At the time In was a member of a website called acidplanet. there were many fine artists, one of which was Panu Moon,  link     https://www.reverbnation.com/panumoon/songs     a very fine songwriter. I discovered that his lyrics fit music I had.. and so I recorded it. He approved saying " That's a good cover " ... so thats how im treating it, as a cover of his song of the same title only with my music AND... my first official collaboration on Soundcloud with the very talented " Single use and recycled "
here is his link   https://soundcloud.com/user-995867230    I have been a follower of his for quite some time and found him to be not only talented, but a classic " Press record and play " artist..  Totally my kind of thing.. Im very grateful he accepted my offer to play on this very fun song and am looking forward to more songs in the future if the stars align.

I hope you can enjoy !!

lyrics
Bubba smith's got a brand new car
brand new house and home
hes got a 7 day job pot belly
and a Smirnoff jones

Hes forgotton about the wife and the kids
and all that living one step up from then skids
thats the way its gonna be I guess
well have to settle for less

Now he’s good for 80 bucks a week
drives a twenty year old car
he cares about a lot of things 
but you cant change the way things are

just give me an old brown chair in the living room
im gonna do my bit for the baby boom
thats the way its gonna be I guess 
well have to settle for less

gonna settle for less
maybe it’ll take a little longer
but in the long run ill be stronger
thats the way its gonna be I guess
well have to settle for less

Now i aint got time for chasing someone else dream
all that glitters aint gold man 
and when you get there it aint what it seems

and it aint no easier to find true love
or keep it either when the push comes to the shove
thats the way its gonna be I guess
well have to settle for less

Settle for Less ( Featuring Single use and recycling )

No AI. None at all. Hello!   If I was good enough, something would have happened by now…maybe it  did and I just didn’t pay attention. Maybe I’m in the midst of something.

I’m primarily a Songwriter and play and sing too. 

I used to  perform with various talented artists. Im now returning to writing and recording.  Theres some evidence of this…

Theres always someone new to hear . 


Thanks for listening and providing inspiration via your own beautiful art.

Side Note :  My goal here is to upload my catalog to date... thats something ….right?

I am humbled by your kind and generous spirit and your willingness to share it.

I’ve been ignored by some really talented people.. it is my claim to fame.
