Story behind the song
Back in the days when Junell Street was still together. Sonny Waddell was our Bass Player. On stage, there were times he'd put down the bass, grab a guitar and sing a song. One such song was a little tune we nicknamed "Sonny's Blues" He only had a verse and a chorus. Everything else we pretty much made up as we went along. After Sonny passed, I decided as a tribute, I'd take that ad libbed verse and chorus and actually add to it and finish the song in his memory. Sonny, thanks for coming out of retirement and playing for us. This song's for you.
