Lyrics
Keep On Knockin'
Dave Placko © 2001

Well, I keep on knockin'. Why don't you answer the door?
Yes, I keep on knockin'. Why don't you answer the door?
Baby, if you don't let me in I ain't gonna come around no more

Once upon a time you said you loved me
That was all that I needed to hear
So, I gave up my life and asked you to be my wife
I thought that you were so sincere

So, I keep on knockin'. Why don't you answer the door?
Yes, I keep on knockin'. Why don't you answer the door?
Baby, if you don't let me in I ain't gonna come around no more

Baby, I know that you're at home
I know that you're in there all alone
I wanna talk face to face, not over the phone
But, if you ain't gonna let me in, I ain't gonna come around no more!

Now, baby, I wisht that you would just listen
To what it is I got to say
I want you to know how much i've been missin'
The things you did for me every day

So, I keep on knockin'. Why don't you answer the door?
Yes, I keep on knockin'. Why don't you answer the door?
Baby, if you don't let me in I ain't gonna come around no more

Excellent track through & through. Guitar work is amazing and has a
fantastic sound. Felt like I was back at Antoine's in Austin. Thanks for
sharing!

Nice Jam
This is good electric blues alright! I really like the guitar playing, and the way the little guitar touches accentuate the vocals, just like a blues guitar should. The solo halfway through is excellent. Cool stuff.

great lyrics
This is one of the best blues tunes I've heard here. The words really are
terrifc. They really seem to be heartfelt and the way I love lyrics to be,
easy to understand :)

Very entertaining. Thanks for making those classic words, and putting
really cool electric blues to it.

Thanks

Tasty!
Great moves and great tune. The guitar slinks all around the vocal in a
very tasty way. Nicely done - Congratulations!

Very smooth playing- great warm tube driven tone! Guitars have such a
wonderful sound. Smooth vocal, with a small touch of grit- well done!

I don't recall you playing the blues before, Bug.... but you should do this
some more. Just don't totally forsake Rock and Roll!

Thanks! This is the first of many blues tunes to come. No need to worry. Rock and Roll will never die!

nice guitar
nice guitar as several have mentioned, i simply love blues guitar. when the vocals first come in i think the guitar is a little loud and blocks out the vocals a bit too much.

Keep on Knockin
All right, so are you mic'd up with the Boogie or are you recording direct?
I just find it interesting to see what everybody is doing. Especially with
the guitar side of the Blues category. Looks like you have a wide selection
of gear. Great tone, cool song!

Keep on Knockin
Rhythm Guitar (Les Paul) is played live through the miked up Boogie and the lead (Strat) was played through one of GarageBand's amp sims.

Thank's for listening
