Listen - Ride That Stingray!
Here is a song I wrote about a
friend's tale of running away from home when he was a young lad. I've embellished with some of my own memories and a little reminiscing about the feel of 26 pounds of thunder between the legs and the smell of freedom that is the open road.
I, of course, am talking about the moment we all got our first Schwinn Stingray, cruised the neighborhood with the other ruffians and tried desperately to shake our Born To Be Mild reality.
I'm using a 1967 Gibson EB2D bass, a Gibson J200 acoustic, a Fender Tele and big steaming pile of false rockabilly bravado.
I hope you enjoy.
