We're pretty much thinking the same thing, at least on a local level.
Sandy says a single needs a "b" side to do it right, so we wrote
"Ashes & Justice" last night, which is coming along pretty nice, also.
The fun thing would be to go the Beatles route and have a double "a"
side single. I jest in comparing us to Beatles, O'course... we sound
more like the "Paint It, Black" Stones.
Thanks for having a listen and throwing some good commentary at me,
George... gotta make this quick, I'm running late for the Sunday night
Ladonia show... on the deck, under the stars! See y'all back here,
soon.
