Eddy Boston One step out of time.

This may be the best song I've ever written.

Of course, I feel that way about all my new songs. Still feeling the thrill of composing something and filled with the elation of creation, whatever is newest seems like genius and last month's songs seem old and stale. Will this one stand the test of time and join my favorites like Baked Potato and the Aardvark song? Only time will tell.

I can say this, though: it was fun to write and I have fun playing it. I even threw in a face-melting guitar solo!

Anyway, here you go. You can decide for yourself.

You were here hoping for a horse-backed hero
When I came walking with my dog.
On a cold summers day down in San Francisco,
Walking by the water in the fog.

I'm playing a FREE show this Saturday, August 29th, from 8:00PM until 8:45, at Brainwash Cafe, San Francisco. This will be my first gig ever in a Laundromat! Rest assured, there’s a cafe section as well, and a full bar. It should be a fun little show.

I’ll be filling in this week as host of the Ireland’s 32's Wednesday Open Mic. Musicians, come on down and perform! All others, come on down and drink!

The show starts at nine. There should be plenty of time for all performers to get at least 15 minutes up there.

(Note that Ireland's 32's website is out of date. The open mic is Wednesday, not Thursday.)
