Nice song Mojo ,I would like to hear your voice a little more to the front in the mix ,You have a great voice and it just seems to get a little buried by the guitar .

Roger /Bj this the original version https://soundcloud.com/graham-windle/riverside-cafe Its a bit clearer I think I posted the lyrics a while back ,Basically it tells the story of a road side in the 60s and what used to go on there .One of my friends crashed and died on this road but it was a long time after the cafe closed .

Re: BAND NAME (12 replies, posted in My local band and me)
We thought of the name Mothers of Convention but that sounds too much like a Zappa tribute act other names Like sawdust on the floor perhaps sounds like a howling wolf tribute or a more traditional blues act .
Others such as usual suspects , killing floor demolition crew have all been used or are in use .
I do like Dougs suggestion Unsuitable .
