A total improv. I didn't know much but the first 2 singing verses before recording. The last verse was made up on the spot.

Heavily based on the Howlin Wolf song, but my own story. I was 29 when I found out I had cancer and this song has always had a strong connection with me. It was real one Saturday afternoon.

Cheers to you Vinnie! I had 6 months chemo and 4 months rad. Flew 100,000 miles on business that year and couldn't leave the country. Left for Germany a day after my last chemo. Climbing in the Andes a week after radiation. It slowed me down a little.

Thanks for the comment Keni.  I'll see what I can sort out for some foot percussion.  My sister just delivered an old suitcase full of sheet music from the late 1800's.  Mostly piano music used for dance bands and songs I've never heard of.  I'll need to rig up a kick pedal or find an old used one somewhere.

Nice. Add some foot percussion to keep the drive. I haven't listened to this in years. Got to give a listen. Where is that confounded bridge? LOL Enjoy.
