Lonely Boy

Going way "back in the alley" to pull off this song. My inspiration was a song done way back when by Clarence "Frogman" Henry. The song was called "Ain't Got No Home". This song doesn't sound the same but hopefully has the same spirit.

ADEQUATE !

While living in Toronto, Canada briefly I became friends with a fellow from Australia. He used the phrase adequate when asked "how are you" or "how are you doing". I picked up on that phrase and was always amused at the responses to my response.
