We got an email mid year. 'Twas from a fellow named Graham Brown who said he was a percussionist who had come across our website and was keen to drop into The Shed and see whether he might fit in.
Well he did drop in, and he did fit in just fine. Been a regular ever since in fact. Got hisself and his percussion gear nicely set up over by the Shed door.
Graham cottoned on to The Shed routine pretty smartly and before long arrived with his first attempt at a song. He had heard Gus call out "Forgot My Words" while Gus was leading us through one of his old tunes. Graham thought that might be the makings of a set of lyrics, so off he went.
We had been messing about with the classic Bo Diddley feel for a while, and we thought that might work with Graham's lyrics.
Before long we had the lyrics and the feel stomping along together, and we were off !
So welcome to The Shed Graham, and thanks for the song.
Hope ya dig it !
