Joe – This was damage limitation. My cat really did have a heart-attack and , when I told Tony he smirked insensitively and said “great – I’ll write a song about it”. If this sad tail had been recorded – I would have been made homeless. ” No ! it’s o.k. I’ll do it” I said bravely. I wrote Flat Cat Moan and that’s a different story. Guitars by Joe , Vox by Joe, Top drawer bass as always by Tony. I used the on- board drums. Recorded and mixed on my trusty old br 900CD. I like it and maybe it will be used in some road – safety thing for T.V.
Tony – Yep, the cat run over by the cyclist..just a fantasy of course. I think this has a good classic RnB Blues feel. It fairly motors along, sort of reminds me of Joe taking off at a hundred miles an hour to write and record this before I got a chance to bury the real cat, which still lives !
