This started out as an ad lib instrumental that I made up on the spot about 15 years ago. Unfortunately I recorded it on a Vestax Portastudio at double speed, and the machine stopped working, so I haven't been able to listen to it for years. Then, two weeks ago, I repaired the machine and transferred the recording onto a Data MiniDisc. It occured to me that it would make a good song, so I wrote the lyrics, with the idea of people boogying in the back room with our old cat, Max.

Nothing special about the recording. It has a vocal and two harmonies, rhythm, lead and bass guitars, and a Guyatone D8 Non-Pedal Steel.

It's long... Shocked Very Happy Rolling Eyes

It's a great number for those who are chord challenged, as you will hear. Laughing Laughing

Great! This reminds me of J. J. Cale. My cat seems to like it too. He has been sick in the last couple of days, but I think he's better now. Thanks for the post!

Cats and dogs are quite differert in many ways, one thing is sure.. dogs can get loud while cats are more subtle with their utterings (?). Here's a dog:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlS4ybf0IkU&feature=channel_page
