Description A Chicago style blues with the Drunken Crawfish Band. I would like to thank the fellows for crawling just the right amount on this song. However, due to the advice and counsel of my manager Tom Atwood I have had to fire our drummer Carmine Crawfish and his part has been removed from the song. Not only has Elvis left the building but Carmine also. As for the reason? The band said he just couldn't hold his liquor like the rest of us and was throwing the band's timing off. So I am sure that, as we do, you wish Carmine a full recovery as he enters the Jenna Bush Hospital for recovering alcoholics.

Lyrics Some people think the rain brings on the blues, they don't realize that it makes their food. And most of us really, yes we really like to eat, So I'm gonna go plant some seeds and wait for the rain to make them grow.

Well I've been busted, and disgusted, yes I was covered with shame.
A young soul in an old body, traveling the road of I'm to blame.
No excuses to be found, just reasons to cry.
I put one foot forward and took another step back, it was all I could do
Right and wrong were running through my mind
No comfort in the day and twisted dreams screaming in the night

Well I held my head high, knowing who I was and what I lacked
And that voice inside my head, that said I should be dead,
I ignored it one more time and kept on keeping on.

	Message blues I appreciate the lyrics and sentiment of this laid back blues. Really enjoyed the pace. I think some other members of the Drunken Crawfish Band may have been imbibing, too, but overall it contributes to the unhurried, no-place-to-go, already-there feel of this piece. p.s. If I am your manager, the band is in real trouble!

Message blues
Well first of all, let me make one thing perfectly clear. I don't have anywhere
to go except maybe out to buy a new chair as this one is shot. Secondly, the
position of manager of The Drunken Crawfish Band is strictly an honorific title
which caries no remunerations of any kind except to waste your time
listening to these songs. As with Carmine, if you feel you must leave the band
we will understand. I am sure there are plenty of managers who will apply.
Wait, who's that on the phone? Victoria Gotti!!! Oh no, have we fallen this low.

	Yes, Better without the old drum track I'm sorry to hear about Carmine.

	Rule From someone still fighting off the white coats at the doorway, the blues rule. Not enough of them on these pages, too much of them in life.

	Hey Bronc I think this one overall works better than the version with drums but the drums were a nice touch. Could it be that they were added afterward? I only ask because I've found that I have to start with the drum track if I'm going to use one. Regardless, enjoyed the tune.

sorry to tell ya....
i don't think your timing problems can be blamed
completely on Carmine. plus, how can you bad mouth the
guy when he's ill. alcoholism is a disease - a serious
disease, that i didn't even know Crawfish could get. Love
the sound of the vocals. at first i didn't like the chorus on
that rhythm guitar put i guess i makes it sound wetter that
way, and rain is wet and i like to eat, yes!

	listening . . like those blues Your voice sure has a trademark here at MJ. Like your well crafted bluesy leads. I like that impromtu thing like "play guitar" little things like that had nice flavor. Again, your voice is just spectacular for the blues. You have the gift. Thanks so much for sharing

	Yes, Better without the old drum track Don't worry about Carmine, Mungo. He will be fine. He just needs a lot of TLC. Get enough red pepper in someone and it will cure anything!

	Rule Just heard your latest . . . Wow! Excellent stuff, I'm glad I found it.

	bronco said 1337 days ago
	Hey Bronc The drums , bass and piano were a midi that I converted with the Dent Du Midi application. I set the tempo the same as they said the midi was. But anyway it must have been some kind of translation problem. Appreciate you coming by anyway and giving it a listen.
