This is such a cool song and was super fun to play. The 2 sax parts are the Akai EWI5000, drums are the Roland Handsonic & the live take is my Resonator Uke I believe. I did this early last week and just now finding the time to get it off the BR80.

Interestingly enough, Earl "Speedo" Carroll, the lead singer for The Cadillacs nickname as a kid was "speedy" then it morphed into "Spedo" and somebody (maybe Earl himself?) misspelled it for the record printing.

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

I never heard this tune, but I'm digging this.

The fills on that Handsonic are improving mightily, and that EWi is too much. Those last couple notes really show expressive it can be. That was a fun post.

Well done Hook......

Great fun... as always! You always perform with such conviction, which makes the quirkiness really work brilliantly. I bet you could sing a bus timetable and make it sound entertaining  :)

There's a lot going on here -- maybe too much -- but I love your lead vocal performance.

Listened to this earlier. New one on me too. Nicely done brother, everything is played, so has a much more alive and live feel about it. Super track.

It's a new song on me, but I like it. Such a fresh, breezy performance, and the sax parts add a nice extra dimension. Excellent work.
