Glad you liked it! The arrangement's a bit weird but it works.

I'll check the Goats out for sure, sounds like a fun listen already! Thanks!

Wayne

It's pretty funny the things you remember from being young, wrestling was part of my youth. I grew out of it when the real world of working for a living kicked in. Hulk Hogan, Bruno Samartino, Bob Backlin.... memories! lol

Wayne

Thanks again for all your comments!

Cheers!

Wayne

Thanks, I grew out of it as I became a young adult but one of my brothers used to go to the live events all the time, real fanatical about it.

Here is a quick clip of Sgt. Slaughter demonstrating the Cobra Clutch in a radio studio on one of the announcers. Maybe this will help you remember him.

I remember the Undertaker and his ghoulish manager, lol.

Steve Austin was in a different federation so I knew of him but didn't get to see him too often.

Thanks!

Wayne

Thanks Ella!

The lyrics are pretty funny, well, generally speaking wrestling was a hoot. It was wrestling for an hour, maybe 2 if we were lucky then it was the WLVI Channel 56(out of Boston) Creature Double feature which was 2 B rated horror films.

These were the good old days when you spent more time adjusting the antenna's to get better reception than watching the program.

Wayne

Thanks!

A large majority of rock songs use a blues progression like I did here. There is a blues feel in that regard.

No, I don't splice fiber optics anymore, I am retired.

Wayne

Thank you!

Wayne

Thanks!

Wayne

Thanks but my voice isn't a gift, unless you consider those prank gifts you give to tease someone.

I don't really have a lead vocal kind of voice so I make it rough sounding so it doesn't sound like Barry Manilow and bore people. I wouldn't sing like this if I was singing in a chorus for example. It is what it is.

Wayne

I know, it has a bouncy, happy feel to it. Well I was happy, maybe the prisoners weren't.

Thanks!

Wayne

Thanks!

True story. I saw some weird stuff working in the deep south, some you would just shake your head in disbelief. Had lots of fun too!

Wayne

Thanks man! Well I'm on the fence when it comes to my singing.

I have listened to a lot of folk music like John Prine and Townes Van Zandt and their stories are so real and they suck you in. I'm just trying to tell stories, about anything, lol. Sand, cars, girls, unfinished furniture...there's gotta be a story/song in most things we encounter in life.

I just heard Neil Young say that if you write about the mundane parts of life as opposed to what's trending in the world then you've done your job as a songwriter, your not doing what most people are flooding the airwaves with, you are being original.

bla, bla bla, lol

Wayne

I wrote it to be lighthearted and fun, a little island/desert thing happening.

We both thank you!

Wayne

Thanks! Hope you were wearing your pith helmet when you were listening. :)

Yup, the bass does the trick, almost like it's supposed to be there. Robin worked hard to get it just right, fun collab!

Wayne

Thanks! It's different, not too sure what genre it is though. Appreciate the kind words!

Wayne

Thanks!

Those are actually 2 tabla loops I used and not congas but they do sound similar. Robin sent me a bass with a little wobble to it and it helped give it some movement in the mix.
Glad you like it!

Wayne

Thanks i.

I hadn't done a collab in a while and Robin offered to play bass on one of my tracks if I ever did a Pink Floyd cover. I wasn't planning to do a PF cover so I asked him to play on this. He did a smashing job!

Wayne

Thank you Rita! It was a productive collab I think.

Wayne

Thanks!

Wow, another DJ Shadow reference, totally unexpected.

Wayne

Thanks! Had to look up who you were talking about, had no idea, lol. Checked out some of his material, i heard a hint of why you would mention him. The only thing is, he knows what he's doing. :)

Wayne

Hey Michael, good to see you around with some new tracks!

No I haven't changed my style. Just trying to mix it up a bit, get some new ideas stirred up in the old grey matter. Every so often I'll take a little break from the folk and rock stuff and search thru Ableton for some interesting loops and sounds. Plus I threw my back out and couldn't sit and play any instruments comfortably.

Thanks!

Wayne

Yeah, there's a lot of little changes happening.

The burp was a perfect fit followed by my apology and the silly whistle. :)

Wayne

Thanks Unk!
