I was trying to go for a Buck Owens meets the Rolling Stones in 1965 with the drummer from Blondie kind-of-thing – this song was performed by one of my bands, The Revellaires.

A pretty song I wrote for Mother’s Day. Listen close: it’s in 3/4, 4/4 and 5/4. It’s influenced by the Beatles, Grant-Lee Philips and Simon & Garfunkel. I played all the instruments except the drums (John Orem.)
When I wrote this, I was listening to a lot of Louis Jordan, the Pretenders and Patsy Cline. It’s performed here by one of my bands, Casey’s Brain.
