  1. Excellent original and cover KRev!

  2. I played blues harp and sang. I sat in with them a few times as a singer - mostly Tom Waits and old Sinatra standards.

    Ahhhh....

    Given the situation, I have a prescription.

    It's all good, but for you, I highly recommend Act Four.

    And do not forget that I am, after all, a doctor.


    (OK, not a real doctor, but a doctor nonetheless, sorta)
