Lowdown & Lonesome from Mystery - 1998 by The MoonDogs
Came up with song during a 20 minute shower. I had been listening to Ricky Skaggs' Bluegrass Rules and this song basically just showed up nearly complete.
This was the first song I ever used my upright bass, Elvira, on. I didn't even know how to play the thing when I bought it from the 5th String in Berkeley in Jan of 1999 but after awhile I kinda got the hang of it.

I've always been compelled to write.
Early on it was journaling and poetry, but then that merged with my guitar addiction to become songwriting.
The process was always a bit manic, pressured, as if a large gorilla had stepped into my room, grabbed me by the lapels and said, "I will not let you sleep until you write this idea down." And so for years the gorilla and I danced madly thru the night.
