Handy Man

Well, I decided to have fun with my next number and I did. In this number the fictitious Baldhead Fred (bass player for the Freddy J and the Ecotones band) is telling the story of why his lady finds him so attractive.  It is supposed to be done in a style that comes somewhat close to an early rockabilly style.  I am also using that as my excuse for why it sounds so rough.
 
Anyway, I hope it gives you a bit of a giggle.  As always, comments will be appreciated!  Thanks!!

    Fun tune!   Yeah, a little rough, but I agree that it suits the style well.  The mix works.
     
    "... fixing plumbing is much too hard"   Good stuff.

    Hey Wookie!  I'm glad that it brought a smile to that furry face.  Thanks for listening and commenting.
     
    Hi Kevin.  Good to hear from you.  Thanks for the kind comments.  I'm glad you liked it..
     
    Thanks Wayne.  All you need is to be handy!   ;>)
     
    Thank you Antti.  I always have problems with my mixes and it is always a bit of a surprise if they work out.
     
    Hi Steve.  Ya, it is a bit rough.  I finished this up after going to the WMNF Rockabilly Ruckus here in Tampa at the interesting and eclectic Skipper's Smokehouse (smoked mullet is a specialty).  I was trying to give it that kind of live at the "Skipper Dome" feel but usually when I try something like this --- I mess it up.
