Instrumental of a song that I couldn't get any singer to sing at a jam session. So I worked it out without vocals. Naturally it is unrecognizable as usual. I do take a lot of liberties when I work out a song.

Story behind the song
I had this idea for a version of this old song a while back and I wanted my singers (at least one of them} to hook up with me and do it. But as usual, they weren't up to the task, so I did what I always do. I did it myself.
The formula is easy. Change the tempo, stay far away from the melody, get radical and apply some double chicken pickin licks {Double string it with your finger nails} add a melodic sliding double stops run {A little more complicated}, a dab of Duane Eddy, 1/2 oz of Ventures influence, and and sprinkel lightly with a bit of Chet Atkins finger style.
Come to think of it I guess that's what makes all my stuff sound the same.... BORING!!
