Description:
Had to go back to the basics and base of all rock and roll and play a little blues. I wrote the lyrics to this song while playing my guitar on the stern of the last ship I worked on in the Indian Ocean. Just a little Jam about "BLUES" working, money, and the X. (The picture is of me working on the main engine on our ship) I thought it was appropriate due to the lyrics.

Lyrics:
"Deep Sea Blues"

I was shook down
drinking in public the other day

Yeah I was shook down
cops wouln't let me get away

Well I was feelin' so good
till my baby left me astray

She said ta get the hell out
be gone by the end of today

I said get the hell out?
What for Anyway?

She said you drink to much
and you spent up all your pay

Well doctor, doctor I need a fix
A budwieser and some cancer sticks

I'm going down
Down Alcoholics way

I got two cent's a dime
and an intoxicated mind

Well my moneys gone
and I'm back out to sea

yeah my moneys gone
and I'm back out to sea

Well a sailors life
will have to do for me

And now I'm hot and sweaty
turning wrenches all day long

yeah I;m hot and sweaty
turning wrenches all day long

I got the deep sea blues
cause sailing ain't no cruise

Yeah...

Hardware:
Beer, the X girl, Work, and a guitar with the blues... Thank God For The Blues

Software:
Garage Band

Good groove &mdash 05/08/05 - 09:04:06 AM
Excellent guitar work. I'd maybe pan the guitar a little
more to the left. Cool vocal and lyrics. First time I've hear
oceanic blues. Good stuff!

love that.... &mdash 06/02/05 - 07:42:02 AM
gritty tone on the right channel.......and the left channel riffs
were a nice contrast......with some work on the mix and
some better drums this will be a winner.....

Hey Mcboy, thankyou for stopping by. I very much agree I would love to
spend a little time and rework this one. I have just been caught up in a little
fret burner since your last release of Slingers. Keep the music comming and
thanks for the suggestions. Much Appreciated

Way to flex... &mdash 09/05/05 - 07:33:39 PM
...your blues muscles.

Nice chops. Would like to hear a deeper sounding, heart-thumping bass line to really get the rhythm pumping.

You might want to check out some drum loops, if you're not happy with your drum work...or open it up to a collaboration...get a little help from your (Macjams) friends...Know wha' a mean? Wink, wink....*Nudge, nudge?

Scorp:)
