Ripe Old Age
Here's a new song for your perusal. It includes my first attempt at playing a mandolin and a banjolele. My forum friend Sid gets an honorary mention here! It's an Ai song with a difference!!

I went to the Serpent Bar, I’m gonna see me a rock n roll band
I look online to see who’s on and old Sid has a gig there planned
I remember that dude from a long time back, I dig all his songs n I like the crack
Still doin’ the rounds n singin’ real gruff, yeah he’s rollin’ out the tracks
Ooh..he's gotta be a ripe old age
105 years old n he’s struttin’ the silver stage
But he’s Ai, he’s a hologram
the image of the younger man he used to be
I wander up to the counter and I get myself a cool beer
I paid the man and took me a sip but nothin’ seem quite right here
Met a girl called Little Annie, n I thought we had somethin’ real
When I reached out for her hand, let me tell ya there was nothin’ that I could feel
Ooh..he must be a ripe old age
105 years old n he’s struttin’ the silver stage
But he’s Ai, he’s a hologram
the image of the younger man he used to be

Well that's got to be a first in many ways! I don't think we've had a song referencing another member before, nor a hologram!
105 though? Ouch!
It's a cool song. Really fun and easy to listen to, and the mandolin and a banjolele just slide in there.
Nice!

Nice rocker, Chris! Very interesting blend of unique instruments. You made it work great! Clever storytelling of the modern trend of old artists using holograms to keep their music alive. I enjoyed listening 😎
Cheers,
Joseph
