Started out liking it, but the more Bill plays it the more "forced" it seems.

Whatever. Some music just overstays its welcome.

I love your take, fredriley.  I agree.  This is good stuff.  Could NOT find cut-and-pasteable lyrics for this song, but it doesn't matter.   I love the song, and I guess I could dance to it. {#Bananasplit}

Weird?  Yes!  Too weird?  Not for me.  Looks like it predates SNZ by a year or two, but then I'm not sure if I should trust wikipedia...

Either way, I love both songs.

I was sure that this was SNZ, who I think are overrated, but this is cooler - as long as I don't have to hear it too often.

Brozman is a virtuoso of the guitar way before the Zippers came along, never got any airplay which is kinda understandable, he wasn't pop 40 lol and that by no means is his best stuff

   Apart from the 'look at me, look at me" approach to guitar playing, the 'I wanna be a singer' vocals there ain't much there..  lots of smoke, no fire.... Muddy Waters was fire... I don't love this. It's got no soul.

Sprited and sharp; like a karate master performing kata...this is good.  Maybe not for everyone, but it is good music.

Except that SNZ was formed in 1993, and Bob published this song in 1992. This guy is amazing and deserves some respect, y'all.

Hey thanks Roverfish

I had contacted him thru his site and the track here at RP was on a version of slide a go go from now defunct skyranch records. I'll check the live disc.

And here is a real gem. Down the Road live on video(!). Crazy good.

Sigh.

Posted this once before, then posted my comment that I was coming here to post this comment.

Then I came here and posted the comment without scrolling back.

And now I'm commenting that I just scrolled back and saw all my other comments.

Bill does have to sleep sometime. He's got a few sets put together to play when the sandman visits. Why complain, when the alternative would be silence? And before you say, "It's easy to DJ", why don't you go offer your evenings to RP and spin for us instead?
