Thank you also very much for that thank you. So this next song going to play for him a lot of the tunes on the record are about things that happened to me in my childhood but I did get to spend at least a little bit of time back in back in town when I was old enough to drink and. This song is kind of about that it's about going out to the bars and it was interesting to see another side of the town that I that I grew up in. Being at the age. And a great songwriter buddy of mine and. He said you know these songs are really good but you got to consider a different title because the title of the song is ding dong scrambled eggs. And a lot of people have asked me about the song you know what is that as a recipe for doing dong scrambled eggs and that with the lyric so I have to admit he's very right at this wonderful guy who I just had to listen to but it's a song about the difference between. The night at the bar. And what things feel like the next day in a variety of different ways and that if you're listening to Stevie Nicks at 1 in the morning at the bar. People seem very charming and good to be around. And in the morning they might seem like. Dogs. You talk though from the person of Eric Anderson. He did 4 songs from that latest cd called literally Main Street including the title song and he often plays with. Band he just came so we often play solo 2. On the Record Of course there are other instruments and I read a story which is almost unbelievable I didn't ask him to confirm it but I'm sure it's true they would've sent it out that some of the songs are written in a special songwriting workshop that he went to with some other songwriters and their challenge was to write 20 songs in one day 20 songs in one year is a lot to write so that's pretty amazing if some of these songs came out of there then my head is off to him Cataldo.
