After an extended absence from the forum, it seems odd to me that I would post this song.   Way back when, this was the first song that I posted on this forum and did I ever get an education.  There was a lot (especially concerning the mix) that was wrong with this number but you were very kind with your suggestions.  I had put the song on MySpace but it was strongly suggested that I put it on a better site such as SoundClick or SoundCloud.  Well, I thought that I had put it on SoundClick but apparently it never made the transition.  I found the file for the reworked (several time over) song but unfortunately, I have been unable to find the working file.  So, although it is a few years too late, I thought -- perhaps, better late than never.

Hey, Freddy,
 
It's really great to see you back on the forum, buddy!
 
You've got a really nice down and dirty Blues Rocker here with a cool vintage vibe, great playing, excellent vocals and super tasty guitar solos!
 
The mix sounds really nice, I love the drum sound on this and the classic guitar tones are perfect for this great retro rock style.
 
You've really developed a cool "trademark" sound, Freddy, and I really like it!
 
Excellent work, my friend, glad to see you back, and have a Rockin' week!
Bob

Yo Mr. Freddy, I love the beat, I love the guitar tones, and this reminds me of the opening track to some detective show.
 
Really nice guitar.

Hey Bob.  It's good to be back and hear all the great songs being posted here.  Thanks for the encouraging words buddy!  I hope that you have a great thanksgiving holiday.
 
Thanks Robert.  I'm very glad that you liked it.  "A psychedelic surf boogie"  -- that's great(!!!) and brought a smile to my mug.  I think that I mix-up genre a lot --- but ---- that's only because I don't know what I'm doing.  Thanks again for the kind words.
 
Hi Steve.  Thanks for listening and commenting. I appreciate it!!
 
Hi Grant.  Thanks -- it is indeed great to be back.  This number was posted a very long time ago on MySpace.  I haven't even been on MySpace for a very long time.  My account has probably expired.  It was my intent for it to be a kind of "Bluesabilly" style but hey -- whatever fits as long as it gets the toes tappin'.  I am glad that you liked it and thanks for the kind comments.
 
Thanks Jesse.  I am a big fan of the old black and white TV show Peter Gunn from the late 1950's or early 1960's.  Henry Mancini penned the music for this show and it caused quite a stir because it featured cool jazz.  The theme from Peter Gunn has been re-recorded by a bunch of persons.  This is a long way of saying that it may have had a bit of influence on this song.  Welcome, to the forum and I look forward to hearing more of your songs.

Cool Freddy. I like what GuitarPima said and also agree with Jesse that it should be a theme tune.
