About our daily Press Rally...I mean Briefing about Corona virus...yeah sure that's what it's about. Started writing it about 8:30am this morning and had it mastered by Noon. Super fun doing the bass & lead parts...in fact I had a lot of fun with this one.
Drums are me on my cocktail kit into the onboard mics of the br80. I used my Hilo Baritone (low strung) ukulele, my Haydeen U-Bass & my Traveler Electric guitar.
1 uke/vocal (stereo)
1 Drums (strereo)
1 U-bass
1 rhythm guitar (stereo)
2 guitar solos (each one mono)
Briefing Blues
written & performed by Hook
Misinformation
A constant barrage
Now that we cant attend his rallies
Its dropped straight into our living rooms
Misdirection
A beginner level magic trick
The first skill a con man makes slick
He can practice and practice But it's never perfect
Miscommunication
Nothing but half truths & full out lies
All you got to do is watch those
crazy reverse raccoon eyes
Misappropriation
that's what we're going to hear about next
Cause there are no checks and balances
Just a deranged narcissist running a corrupt government

Wow! Epic in scale and full of melodic goodness. Everything about it is great. Sounds amazing on headphones. Love those rising chords at the close.

Love the riff here and the overall groove. I really like the way you captured your inspiration and turned it into a finished song so quick, it's very well done.
I think I sense a bit of frustration and disillusionment coming through....... ;D

Blues is a great medium for frustration... you can just let rip to that trusted blues structure. Great full sounds Hook, and the lyrics are very good indeed. Scary times, it really does look like Trump is making up policy on the spot, let's all pray he doesn't make things worse.
