Enough

I actually started writing this song in June.
Yeah, I'm slow.
Use headphones when listening.
And, don't drop your beer.
As usual, I wrote, recorded and played all the instruments myself.
Country Honk

Eleven days after the Coffee House Party (see the entry below this entry) I decided to record this song as a solo performance.
I hadn't even touched my guitar since the party.
But after only four takes I was satisfied with the result.
