MISTER HAPPY GO LUCKY (Bob Dormer/Audric Jankauskas)

A diminutive woman in her 7th decade, Laurie is a dynamo of personality and energy living an outsized life as she still works, loves to travel, and when home, playing in our church band as a guitarist and sharing music as a multi-instrumentalist.  She is also a personal hero in how she powered through chemo, invasive surgery, then radiation to arrest the progress of a rare cancer.  She would tell you it was by the Grace of God, but I would quickly add He worked in concert with her faith and "joie de vivre" of which she has an abundance.  Not knowing what to give her for her birthday and Christmas (a month apart), I gave her a song with her band nickname as the title.  For you, "Laurie Lou" my dear friend, guitar sister, and bandmate:)

Dedicated to my dear friend Lisa.

My sincere thanks to David Dunham for his generosity in mastering my track. @david-dunhamuser589535203

The incredible Harry Jacobson joins me on this funky groove oriented fun jam, with a quirky intro and outro.
Harry is well known not only for his distinct masterful electric guitar blues-rock style, but also for his delightfully stinging guitar tones that sustain and blossom into beautiful overtones and harmonics.  
Enjoy the ride!
