You sure are brewing up some tasty mixes!

You've cooked up one hell of a wonderfully infectious groove with the drums, bass and guitar!  Wonderfully topped off with your equally infectious vocals!

Great guitar playing really nice groove👌🏿😎

cool shuffle rhythm, dig the push. Poignant lyrics too. I get it.

love the funk. A bit of a Little Feat vibe

sick pocket between the drums & bass. love this!

Sounds ..vocal.. really good! 🌍☮︎👍

Ahhh, the 90's Grateful Dead revival years! I dedicate this to the women that I met during a Grateful Dead concert during the early 90's. Never to be seen again, gone like a ray of light. Having some fun with the band name in the title of this one. Thanks for listening!
From the EP "Smilers"
 
Lyrics:
I'm not looking at you , she said
I'm looking a those auras spinning around your head
At this music festival
A Ticketmaster time machine
It's not what's real
It's what you believe

(chorus)She has a way
Of getting into your mind
And she likes to stay
To the morning light
Until that sunshines just right
I feel so gratefully fed
Gratefully fed

All these trust fund kids
Dressed like hippies
She does her hippy dance
She spins and twirls with all her beads
She does her hippy dances
In service to capitalism
She works during the week
At Chase Manhattan
"The friendliest bank in town"
They're the friendliest folks around!
(chorus)
Gratefully fed

Gratefully Fed

Have a listen to my album "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept 2025). Quirky and interesting tunes.
Thank you for listening!

I try to write with rich lyrical details and self-deprecating humor about the human condition. Plus, that unique Shade Structure sound!  It sounds best with headphones. Thanks for any comments, reposts or likes.
