A couple years ago, I was performing at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival when The Mews… I mean Muse struck. No mews was correct. The frequent meowing came from a black cat named Lil' Bit. That talkative cat inspired this bluesy song that turned into a boogie woogie with the masterful guitar of my producer Rich Brotherton.

I recorded it because after the Brobdingnagian Bards broke up I knew I needed a new solo demo. But I didn't quite realize how much blues would affect my music, especially when I moved to New Orleans. I feel it creeping into my new arrangements in a beautiful way, mixing in with my Celtic background and adding a little swing. How cool it would be to have people swing dancing to my new version of “Black Velvet Band”. Meantime, I posted this recording on Soundclick the other day and it hit #1 two days later. Best of all, it's great for some West Coast Swing dancing.
