Great guitar work-it is work, isn't it ?!!

A few months ago, Jamie and I collaborated on this track, which I thought came out pretty well.  Today Mirko (@Stringburner) said he liked the tune and would like to contribute to it.  So he sent me a bass track, I remixed with his playing added, and then remastered the track.  I really like the result and the bass is a great addition.  It's always nice to revisit these tracks after a while and try to improve them.  

Thanks to both Jamie and Mirko - this is one of my faves :)

Original post:
This is another track that came together pretty quickly. The groove was inspired by some jamming I heard a few days ago and played along with for a while. Once you have an idea what you're going for, these tracks can come together easily and take on a life of their own.

This one is me on guitars and bass and Jamie on organ and synth. Drums are loops from beta monkey's funk drums collection.

I am not good at naming these tracks and am functioning on little sleep, but after the fact I realized that my playing on this track is sort of inspired by the Grateful Dead's 'Help on the Way/Slipknot', which is a really cool tune and I unconsciously borrowed some of that vibe. Jamie sounds great as usual and is pushing it hard on this one. Hope you enjoy :)

Many thanks to Glen Granthem  for all of his hard work on this track.
Original Lyrics by Tony Harris
Featuring Glen Granthem and The Glen Granthem Band

The lyrics that inspired Glen are listed below.

HIS HEART SKIPPED A BEAT			
WHEN HE OPENED THE LETTER 			
THAT SAID REPORT FOR A PHYSICAL			
IT KNOCKED HIM OFF HIS FEET			
			
IT WAS A EARLY MORNING RIDE			
TO THE GREYHOUND STATION			
NOT A DAY HE LIKES TO REMEMBER			
HE WAS FEELING SICK INSIDE			
			
STEPPING OFF THE BUS			
AT THE BASE IN MONTGOMERY			
A MAN HANDED HIM A SMALL BIBLE			
THAT'S WHEN HE STARTED TO WORRY			
			
PASSED THE TEST WITH FLYING COLORS			
TOOK HIS FIRST PLANE RIDE			
TO FORT BRAGG NORTH CAROLINA			
FELT LIKE HIS HANDS WERE TIED			
			
WITH A WIFE BACK HOME			
AND A TWO MONTH OLD SON			
SOUTHEAST ASIA WAS IN THE CARDS			
HE NEVER FELT SO ALL ALONE			
			
(CHORUS)			
HIS WIFE AND MAMA CRIED			
AS THE GREYHOUND PULLED AWAY			
HE HAD A SICK FEELING INSIDE			
ON THAT WARM SPRING DAY 			
HIS CAREER WAS SIDELINED			
THE DAY HE TOOK THAT RIDE………			
YEA, IT WAS SIDELINED			
THE DAY HE TOOK THAT RIDE………			
			
(BRIDGE)			
GOD'S WILL AND MAMA'S PRAYERS			
BROUGHT HIM BACK HOME			
FROM THAT FAR AWAY PLACE			
			
(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES)

The Day He Took That Ride - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring The Glen Granthem Band - Original

Playing over the Yellowjackets' "Rush Hour" backing track.

Rush Hour

Huge thank you to Wane of Summer for having me sing on one of his amazing tracks! 

There’s a place
You can remember me 
If memory serves you well
There’s a place
You’ll remember me
If your memory serves you well

And it’s called
Memory lane
I will wave to you
Take a walk down Memory lane
You can look
But you can’t touch me

Cobble stones
And the brightest lights
They keep me awake
In the middle of the night

Chorus

MEMORY LANE By Wane Of Summer and Annie Smart ​​

You got me staring into space
You got me, I’m losing my place
That’s what you do
That’s what you do to me
That’s what you do

I’ll ask myself what are you doing to me? 
And I ask myself what are you doing to me? 
To me...

You got me talking no sense
You got me oh on my knees...
That’s what you do
That’s what you do to me...oh...

Chorus...

A thank you to someone who makes me smile. : )

What you do...

Truly blessed to have my dear friend and sister from another Mr play gorgeous cello on this song! Thank you Becky! 🎵❤️

I've been playing guitar with varying degrees of devotion for about 30 years. I love to play and record every chance I get and have really enjoyed my time on SC so far.  My musical influences are guitar greats such as Hendrix, SRV, Jerry Garcia, Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, Robben Ford, Mike Bloomfield, Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks. I love listening to other people's music and drawing inspiration from their talents.  Most of all I appreciate all of the support from the community here and look forward to spending a lot more time. :)
