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 .

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 .

We  are  having  a  terrible  time  finding  a  name   for the  band  everything  we've  come  up  with  so far  is  either  unsuitable    or already  in use .I've  tried  one  of  these  name  generator  things  and  the  crap  that's thrown up  is  laughable .
