A new composition. In the polishing phase, but I played it for an audience for the first time today and it seemed to go down okay so I thought I'd get it down on a quick recording (handheld Olympus thing rather than any flash mics or anything).
As if often the case, it is the confluence of several ideas. I was messing about with lyrics for a sing, at the same time as messing about with a raggy progression intended to be an instrumental, at the same as thinking it would be cool to do a modern day version / extension of John Hurt's Frankie.
Somehow, that melting pot resulted in this tune: Frankie & Albert for the Angry Birds generation.
On Soundcloud cos I cant get a decent sounding MP3 small enough.

Great tune! Would love to hear that once you get it done up with good mics & co! (The crowds shouts More! More!)
The lyrics are really spot on, and fit the melody perfectly. Good stuff. I'd say that was a well thought out song. Keep up the good work.

Thanks folks. I'm half way to thinking it needs one more verse but we'll see!

That's a catchy little ragtime tune Simon! Well done!
Cheers
