We are one-man band playing mostly our own compositions heavily influenced by Big-beat styles of 60-80s and a little Blues-flavour.
Nowdays it's mainly one-man band,friends are given a hand,at times."Music was my first love and it will be my last"!.Just can't quit composing my own songs and playin' for "constantly shrinking audiences"...

Story behind the song
I've run occasionally into the accordionist-busker(Gr.Novikoff) who was entertainin' folks at the local market place.He was playin' incredible chops & and felt symphatetic about my idea of recordin' smth. Zydeco/Cajun style.He recorded his part effortlessly without any knowledge about the style in question.Cool!My Dear Dawny supported me,as always with up to the notch lyrics,and Tony kindly lend his voice to this project.So here we are in the 4-ways collab (USA,England,Finland,Russia) testifyin' that the music is the thing that's unitin' people of whatever origin.
Lyrics
Goodbye Massachusetts Hello Delaware seems I don't have long to wait I find the blues in every state cos man you know that I been everywhere Bit the bullet in Wyoming I got uptight in Ohio I wake up every morning wondrin' what the sun is warnin' And I'm sure its saying-- I gotta go CHORUS Tongue tied in California I was French fried in Veracruz I got waylaid in Indiana Now I'm living in the State of Blues Things were harder in Nevada So I left for the State of Maine But I fell into a blue funk When the Huskies missed a slam dunk And I bought myself a ticket for the plane Tongue tied in California I was French fried in Veracruz I got waylaid in Indiana Now I'm living in the State of Blues I’ve been dumped on in West Virgina I was hammered on Texas brew I’m considering it might be me But I havent been to Tennessee So Tennessee’s the place I’m heading to Tongue tied in California I was French fried in Veracruz I got waylaid in Indiana Now I'm living in the State of Blues yes I was Tongue tied in California I was French fried in Veracruz I got waylaid in Indiana Now I'm living in the State of Blues Tongue tied in California I was French fried in Veracruz I got waylaid in Indiana Now I'm living in the State of Blues
