Description
right then .... we are turning a page and Feter is helping us. Last bit is Feter going crazy electric ... lol and hullo! and BTW the first bit is also Feter and Mr. Bright. We had fun. And a very Happy New Year MJ ! This is a "Bookmark" for us ... more to come from the "band".

This song was the first post I did here. It was One Minute and Three seconds.... it lasted on site for four days. I had always loved the lyrics but could never finish them. The summer before I found this site I had been talking to Patrick about an "opera" project and this was one of the tracks. Pat called it my "#@$&'d" Up Circus Music. This stayed on the shelf for a year and a half. The "Opera" project was realized in a completely different fashion in the summer of 2008 with the "BigFinish" project.

This tune is pretty all over the place as far as the mix but I hope it generates the feel of seeing Feter on stage doing his magic with Davisamerica. Feter will be joining us on some upcoming work and I am excited about that. Feter has been a mentor and very dear friend.

Don't take this too seriously ... it is just for fun. Thanks Feter for giving me a grin.

Lyrics
Black Coat John was a son of a bitch
He didn't bathe often and he wasn't rich
But sometimes with a Blue Moon Rising
John he liked to dance.

John had a friend called Cal the Leech
Who got so damn tight his body squeaked
Throw in a juice harp and there you go
Begin the Blue Moon Show

Cal said "John I've known you son
Since you fell off your mamas lap and run
It appears we an't having fun"
John just simply stared

Oh John
Where you think you're going son ?
Oh John,
Where you gonna run ?

I can't stop
my foot from tapping! This is a total kick...

The only critique I have is your primary vocal seemed almost a bit loud at first. Kind of overpowered everything else... Not that I don't love your voice... but the instrument work is worth hearing in this!!!

That's the type of soundI keep aiming for and come up short with my bluegrass/American country efforts, great collab fellahs and any ladies who may have partook masterly tunefulness and great production techniques.

Happy Noo Year indeedy.

Wow, guys!
This is great! :-) Who's in the band, and who's playing what? I love the energy and fun live feel of this song. This is the perfect first song for a Saturday morning. Who needs the radio when we have MacJams? Everything sounds right to me, and Feter's solos rock!

Excellent!
This is superb, great feel to this, love the organ, sounds great mixed with the banjo, harmonica and mando.
What a great collab, love how the song builds from Feter on Mr. Bright to his awesome electric solo at the end!!
Great stuff Jack & Feter!

You guys!
I don't know how you meld all that stuff together. It sounds like it was all done specifically for this piece. Feter is amazing isn't he? I am glad you guys are working together. I look forward to hearing that singing mandolin and his unmistakable baritone breaking my heart with tales of loves lost luster bright . . . sigh! And wouldn't it be great to hear y'all live one day?
Go for it!

Atmosphere
Great song (I think I've heard it before.....)

I like the atmosphere that you're creating with the audience noises. But then you shouldn't have that mandolin so upfront. Give it a ton of reverb to make it sound like it's part of the live act.

Otherwise, great stuff.
