Wow, definitely steps into the aisle to boogie for a while, slipping off into Roses, yet reflecting on the lyrical connections with Scarlet.
Wharf Rat

Campus Stadium, UCSB

Jerry’s opening notes capture the essence of the song/ the Wharf Rat’s vibe, as they simultaneously convey -- I may be out here in the cold and down-trodden by the docks, but I’m willing to get up and fly away – or at least try, anyway. No worries about the dime; thanks for listening.
