Music for your heart and soul.
Not really what you could call a band. It's just me! Music has always been a passion of mine. I have been playing one instrument or another since I was big enough to sit at the family piano. I played tenor sax in my high school band and played around a little with the guitar. I found six strings to be a bit too much and I soon picked up my first bass. Bass guitar seemed to be perfect for me. After I got the hang of the bass the six string didn't feel nearly as awkward. I started out playing in garage bands like most everyone. I played in club bands for many years until I got totally burnt out from the road and dealing with club owners. Sure I miss the live performances but now days I'm perfectly content to plug a guitar into my iMac and just do my thing.

Lyrics
Legend says there's a wild man living in the cypress swamp out back Eight foot tall with big red eyes and his hair is long and black I only know that I've been told he's meaner than a rattlesnake To go back in that swamp at night would be a bad mistake When you hear that Swampman coming You better get back where you belong boy Everyone around here knows what's out there in the night And if you head out in the swamp you're in for quite a fright He's out there in the darkness out there waiting just for you And when he catches up with you there's nothing you can do When you hear that Swampman coming You better get back where you belong boy When you hear that old Swampman coming You better get on out of there I told you that he's out there don't you think that he is real He's out there in the swamp maybe looking for a meal So listen for the Hoot Owls and they'll tell you that he's near And all the creatures of the night for the Swampman they do fear When you hear that Swampman coming You better get back where you belong boy When you hear that old Swampman coming You better get on out of there

OOOOOOHHHH Scary!!!! - what a hoot. I love the sound effects too. well done. I'm busy recording my country album right now (previously I was busy writing songs for it, ha) and they'll be up soon one by one at a time (per fortnight) since I'm trying to sell an album. I have two new songs up on my duo (Tarnogard) if you want to check them out. BarBaRa

HI Gordy, Hey this is neat! Love the opening guitars lead work in general. Very appropriate for this time of year. A good instrumental hook riding throughout. Production is very good. Nice work. Thanks for coming by my page and I sure dont try to be overly loud thanks for the input. I use a mastering program that is supposed to check that. LOL! Later.

So well done, a new Halloween classic to break out year after year! Great work with the details, a very strong production. An excellent rockin' country tune at it's core, strong enough to rock out to all year long, love it!
