A kind of biographical song of my events this year featuring Slowpaw Steve T (AKA Potbelly Pig!) with the Middlesex County Hobo Itinerate Gospel Choir (Zeke asked me to mention his Banjo solo at the end...!).
I wanted a gritty sound so just pushed up the gain a little on the mixing desk.

Guitar; Punch 2
Drum; Roland TD-12 Bass Drum.

PLAY LOUD!

SLOWPAW BREW

FROM THE GARDENS OF OLD DENHAM,
TO THE BACKROADS OF KENT,
TO THE HILLS OF DEEPEST DEVON,
WHEREVER I WENT.

WITH A CIGAR BOX FROM HONDURAS,
SOME WOOD FROM THORNTON'S MILL,
A FLATPUP FOUR FROM KLANGBOX,
I BUILT ME A STIL.

CHORUS -
IF YOU'RE FEELING DOWN MY FRIEND,
A LITTLE TIRED AND BLUE,
TAKE A LITTLE TIP FROM ME AND TRY MY BREW!
IF YOU GOT A PROBLEM AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO,
COME ALONG AND SIT RIGHT HERE,
TRY MY BREW!

YOU CAN KEEP YOUR FANCY WHISKY AND YOUR FOGGY MOUNTAIN DEW -
I'LL JUST KEEP ON SINGIN' 'BOUT MY SLOWPAW BREW!
GRANPAW, SISTER, MAMA TOO,
FOLKS 'LL GET ACQUAINTED WITH
SLOWPAW BREW!

CHORUS -
IF YOU'RE FEELING DOWN MY FRIEND,
A LITTLE TIRED AND BLUE,
TAKE A LITTLE TIP FROM ME AND
TRY MY BREW!
IF YOU GOT NO MONEY AND YOU
HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE,
DON'T GET UP AND FRET NOW,
JUST TRY MY BREW!

REPEAT CHORUS.

THANK YOU MOST KINDLY FOLKS! (-:

To be included on forthcoming album "Slowpaw Brew"

he he , "cheers" Paul, the brew is a secret!   think of it as a metaphor for music, you can have a good time and not wake up with a hangover ...!   (-;

"Kent Clunge"  sounds rather interesting...or how about  "Medway Mud"...bring along a bottle along to the Sidcup Soiree! (-:
