'Brotherhood of the Grape' - Greeny Original

[Greeny]

Inspired by the (brilliant) John Fante novel 'The Brotherhood of the Grape'. Fante is a great writer, and anyone who likes / gets Bukowski will go for him in a big way. As Buk himself said: 'Fante is my God'.

Quite a simple & unassuming song really. Just an ode to drinking with a bit of harmony. All done on the MBR with 12 & 6 string acoustics, telecaster and bass.

Cheers!

Hey! Did I already mentioned thumbs up for vocal harmonies?!?!

But what i really dig is the bass part! Yor bass parts are always melodic gems! Pleasure!

Sounds like pure Green Grapes...Those harmonies are off the map!...Mondays suck but Greeny Mondays Rule!!
