Hope this is okay to share. I wanted to write something poignant to the crap going on. I recorded this last week, finished mastering it Tuesday. Submitted it to my distribution service for upload to the major streaming services, so it’ll be on Spotify and other things in a week or so. I wanted to share it sooner, though.

Prowling by Old Bottle Black.

   I thought animals
   Were always on the prowl
   
   Turns out they were doing other things

 
   Delay, defend, deny.
   I don't kill for fun.
   Took my shot now someone's  doing time.

   I thought animals
   Were always on the prowl
 
   I learned all I know
   When I was a child
   Turns out they were teaching other things
 
   Honey's from the bees
   Grapes fall off the vine
   You keep yours and I will stick to mine
 
   I thought animals
   Were always on the prowl

   Turns out they were doing other things

(for the music nerds: the droning riff and solo are played on a 1957 Rickenbacker 425. The rhythm track was on a 1960 Rickenbacker 450. I used a '74 Fender Musicmaster bass through a '64 Bassman. I put the guitars through a JCM800 and used delay and the amp’s drive own drive for distortion. I did the vocals through an SM58 using a Soyuz preamp.)
