AL NOBLE VENTURES OUT INTO THE 'DEEP BLUE SEA'

Al always has a bunch of songs in his kit bag when he sidles into The Shed. Always. Must have dozens of them stashed away there.

 

Last time we asked he pulled out a little ditty he called Deep Blue Sea. As is usual with Al's songs, there are some truly fine lyrics......try "Fear is the laughter of the devil" and "If love was disease I'd have a lethal dose".  Right on Al !

 

The usual gang was there, and we started kicking it about. 'Kicking it about' usually means agreeing on a basic feel from the drums and bass, putting together a basic arrangement, deciding on solos etc etc

 

Deep Blue Sea came together pretty quickly. We soon enough had it all figured and started running it through. Then we turned on the recorder.

 

THIS is the result.

 

Hope ya'll like it.
