    Haha. Not trying to recreate Chris and The Ponies. You would have fit in well with that project. Download my last album that I wrote, played guitar, keys, percussion, sang lead and backup vocals, and helped engineer. It's a free download. Get back to me if you think you can contribute ..hehe

    Wow, I really like that.

    But it needs more cowbell.

    That is an instrument that will probably never make its way in to any song I write. But, never say never.

    I can contribute. Not to the content (although I do have a knack for rephrasing bits of lyrics so they fit rhythms better), but to the tone of the general atmosphere.

    Especially if there's free beer.

    Wookee plays a mean acoustic belch and when he's really drunk the electric fart.

    That's one of the only perks of being in an underrated band; free drinks anytime you play a show. I think Doug Fir is the most dangerous/generous with that. They have about 100 beers waiting in the green room for all bands. Dangerous.

    Yeah, I've heard about that. Thinking about going old-school and getting the club.

    Glad they got there in a decent time frame. Just remember what I said about the EP. It was our first foray into the recording world.

    Not to prod you into doing an Unecessary Cover but since your voice has such a likeness to Ray Davies...... "God''s Children" is THE great lost Kink's song. Far be it from to direct you to a song with so much potential and that has brought personal enjoyment to me. I mean.... I'm not... but I am.... I'm just kidding.... or am I? (Wink Wink.... Nudge Nudge.... Say No More!)

    I will look that up. Like right now. I'm kind of waiting for a hurricane to hit, so I have nothing but time.

    And just so you know, the Kinks are one of my favorite bands of all time. They have two albums in my top 20: Village Green Preservation Society and Arthur. I had never put the vocal likeness together until @riverman mentioned it. And I have no problem with that.

    That one song you linked on here I thought you sounded a bit like Gordon Sumner.

    I have a habit of writing songs a little bit higher in the register than I would prefer. But not trying to put a Sting vibe out there. Now, the drummer for the Police is one of the best that has ever hit the skins.

    I always thought you sounded like the Kinks a lot and that's a good thing.
