Re: THE TRUTH
Thanks Ark its a fun song for me to play I was going to redo some of it but I thought better and just left it alone,the Egyptians may have taken it with them but not for long 
lots of money in artifacts especially from the tombs of the Pharaohs
Daddycool I appreciate your comments and stay cool yourself

Re: THE TRUTH
great stuff russel,
havent read the words as written above yet, but i have listened to the recording, your a very humorous guy, i smiled all the way through, and i could hear a banjo playing that super guitar riff, with a washboard and string bass in the rhythm section, and a snare drum played with brushes just to finish-off the recording.
excellent work russ
phill
ps, i just read the words, love the parts about the "nudie bar" and "hands beneath her waist" you are awful...but i like you.
Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
