Monkey Bidness Music

Sometime, around 2006, the guitar lick that propels this song popped into John's brain.  Not being a guitar player, John had nowhere to go with it - until the Great Nashville Flood of 2010.  What was not nearly as bad for John, living up on the rim above the Nashville Basin, in another county, was still a LOT of rain ...

So, inspired by the plight of some imagined family in a suddenly desperate situation, the lick he had stuck in his brain coincidentally wrote the song ... Next, John had to convince Jere that he needed to carry the song, instrumentally, playing bass and all of the guitars.  The idea was to evoke a campfire circle of guitars - with, y'know, some drums and some keyboard parts thrown in - after all, there IS that Hammond organ over there ... Jere surprised John with Billy Cole's rainstick track, which was a real treat (the more, largely unused instruments we can get on records, the better, especially if they are a propos) ...
 

And vocals - always vocals ...
