Check out the new blog piece. https://medium.com/@mikemckenzie/for-those-about-to-wait-in-line-at-walmart-dbd69b36d3e5  After the "Dirty Randy" farting story generated so many views for my beluga whale video, I decided to try some blogging on Medium.com.  

Where do I get my ideas?  Here's a link to the source of my inspiration http://www.ranker.com/list/13-most-brutal-black-friday-injuries-and-deaths/john-barryman  Basically, a list of the worst Black Friday disasters.  This is not a good trend, America.

This tune was heavily inspired by Tom Waits.  I doubt that I would have tried this style, but for Tom.  If you're wondering what song exactly, I would say to listen to, "Cold Water," https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qZivw4a78E

This song is easy to play once you're in Open A.  You just do the Keith Richards clampdowns on strings 2 and 4 as you like it and move it into fifth and seventh position for the D and the E.  Hook a harmonica around your neck and you're freaking Bob Dylan and Keith Richards at the same time.  Wow.
