Well, I'm just a listener, when it comes to music, but the first song
that came to my head, simply because of Mallard's guitar sound (not
the tune, just the sound, if you know what I mean) was the Beatles'
"And your Bird Can Sing." Of course that prejudices me: I still
remember hearing that as a lad and thinking it was the best guitar I'd
ever heard. (Of course, I'd never even heard of Hendrix or Clapton
back then.)
I just had an idle thought; if you and Mallard are producing the
track, you should probably give yourself a name. "The Duck Bros."
would be a good one, being (in your case) an in-yr-face to a few
people.
