I wanted to do this Bobby Watson song in a way that it came over as an impromptu 'performance' like we were all in the same studio.
Big thanks to Todd and Gerry who really put in some great blues vocals.
Thanks for listening.

Since My Good Times Went Away
Copyright 2009 - Todd Swain
When I woke up this morning
I took a look outside my window pane
Lord, It looked just as bad as it did last night
And I don't think a damned things changed no
Its just so lonely here
Since my good times went away
My old flat top sitting in the corner now
But I just can't play
I see people smiling and having fun
But I don't think that's for me anymore
I can't even hardly bring myself to get up and
Walk out that door
I can't eat or sleep anymore
It's so hard just to get through a day
Since my good times went away
People try and cheer me up
But they just don't understand
That good time Charlie they used to know
Is now some other kind of man
I always leave early and go back home
Nothing else for me to do
Don't feel like making any noise now
Without you
I see people smiling and having fun
But I don't think that's for me anymore
I can't even hardly bring myself to get up and
Walk out that door
I can't eat or sleep anymore
It's so hard just to get through a day
Since my good times went away

Great Bluesy taste, I love it. It could have been something from Ray Charles. Amazing singing feeling.
Love the Keys licks and the brass section. Well done folks.

Very nice!. Agree with the Ray Charles analogy.

Note to myself: Never listen to any of Billy's songs again - it is too disillusioning.
Perfect as perfect can be. As always. And, of course, great performances of all participants. This is definitely more than just homerecording.

Whoa! :D This is great guys, wonderful stuff Billy and Todd!
I had no idea that this track was finished and posted, it must have slipped past my watched collabs notifier, but who cares! This song was a joy to work on as well as a challenge i.e. tracking along in time to Todd's vocals in our joint parts, but great fun at the same time. Billy, you must let me know how you get your killer blues lead guitar sound on the fills and solo, top notch!
A pleasure to work with you guys, love to "get together" in the same virtual room again and do some more some time, thanks for letting me be a part of this one, cheers!
