"Last Train To Tampa" FL MET 2013

[Hook]

8/10/13 session (no pics, sorry but 5 tunes!!!)

Bruno actually sent me a more produced track of this quite a while ago and it took me a very long time to get the lyric. He named it as he does all his tracks & I finally got it down a day or two before they arrived. We arranged it tonight...together...how do you like them apples!
Live stereo track using the sony stereo mic into the mbr.

Last Train To Tampa

music by Bruno   lyrics by Hook
performed by Bruno & Hook

I'm on the run they're after me
I've got to change so I can't be seen
Slip inside & blend into
Remove the obvious & what's true
      I'm searching & I'm seeking
      But mostly I'm just freakin'
      There aint nothing left for me
      If I can't catch that last train to
      Nashville, Tennessee
I've come this far no turning back
I'll have to compensate for the things I lack
But luckily all that I require
Is fuel to burn this raging fire
       I'm dodging & I'm weaving
       I'm stewing & I'm seething
       It's all up in smoke
       If I don't catch the last train to
      Oracoke, North Carolina

Times are tough & life is hard
Passing states are my backyard
Dallas Texas, New Orleans
St. Paul, Cincinnati, Queens
I think I might have found a place
Where I can blend & keep the pace
Where histories are hardly traced
And county lines, they can erase
         Any trace of who you were
         I'm telling you don't say a word
         I'll probably never have the chance to be a grandpa
         If I don't catch that last train to
         Tampa, Florida

[Farrell Jackson]

Zazzam man or should I say mans! This rocks as an acoustic number and I could imagine the full band coming in on the second verse and rockin' it to a new level. A seriously good song and performances Hook and Bruno! If I'm reading this right you two were actually together when you did this...how cool is that!

[Tangled Wires]

Wow, the live nature of this gives it all a wonderful frantic energy.

The acoustic work is off the chart good, fast and precise and some really cool riffs and progressions.

Excellent vocal Hook and love the natural reverb.

[DeificDave]

This is awesome guys, loving the acoustic work, that's a killer riff and powerful vocal too...acoustic on !
