This is another blues riff as audio story, rap, poetry, sound effects. Satire perhaps. A hobo is being heckled constantly by several bullies round the clock. Also called "Tick Tock Bully Radio Blues".

Blues. Used to busk. Thankyou for looking March 2021. Love/art/blues/Rob. So, musical diary
Pardon? How can I interview me? Some streets are better than others? Some highways are brighter than others. Time of day, find a state of mind, imagination, TV, 1920s. I write about love, lost or found, hopefully honestly inspired by love, and try to play better for that. When younger protested about behaviours on my radar, and of course, being a simple artist, surfing the great times I imagine I had in another life, or maybe one day this one!

Story behind the song
It's all a bad dream perhaps? My dreams tend to exist for decades. The audio story has a lot of me in it, but, actually, is about a hobo, circa 1912, being heckled by bullies round the clock. Thankyou for listening.
