This classic song, written by Jackson C. Frank, speaks to my soul. It has been covered many, many times, by various artists. But after seeing 'The Old Man & The Gun' yesterday I thought I'd have a go at it myself...

Blues Run The Game (Jackson C. Frank)

Retired musician .  Just writing a few simple songs about
life and growing old.  Song about my childhood on a
Louisiana delta farm.  Most songs were written and composed by me on my Boss  BR8 Digital Recording Studio.  Hope to complete my first CD soon.  I have a few cover songs also.

Weeks before the release date of Mother Bass’ debut album, the band already received very favorable reviews on Dutch music platforms like 3voor12 and Metalfan.nl. The German website Musikreviews sees songwriter/guitarist Friso Woudstra as an upcoming rock visionary and Belgiums' Snoozecontrol dubbed the album 'an exceptional masterpiece'. The award-winning video clip (Akademia, USA) of debut single Silver Spoon was directed by Maurice Swinckels (Legion of the Damned) and was the first feat of a successful album-launch campaign. With influences like Soundgarden, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Stone Temple Pilots, this band mixes classic rock and alternative sounds to a unique blend: neo-grunge. The music of Mother Bass puts alternative rock/neo-grunge from Nijmegen (NL), back on top, and it's here to stay!. The band is known for its intense, electric live performances where rock tenor Daan Dekker exceeds all expectations. Bassist and rock 'n roll beast Roel van Erp grooves and moves with his shirt off. Meanwhile, drummer Roy Veltien meshes rock, metal, jazz and drum 'n bass rhytms together with ease. Mother Bass loves to play for those who likes classic rock, metal, grunge or even progressive music. Actually, this band could play for any audience. They have the songs to rock your socks. Mother Bass is the band they've missed for the past decade!

Hope you enjoy my channel. 
Thanks for listening.

I'm a songwriter, guitarist and singer in that order. I play some bass, keys and drums too. I have been writing and recording songs for most of my life and what you hear on my profile is a selection of my work over the years. 

My songs are a mix of autobiographical and storytelling. I write about family, life and happenings in the wider world.

My relentless pursuit of the song.

The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why....Mark Twain

I write simple songs, mostly in a country/folk vein. All recordings posted here were done at home with minimal production on my little Tascam Pocket Studio. No great commercial intent here, just a love for the writing process and the hope that one day I will pen one really good one.  Thanks for taking the time to listen!
