NOT QUITE MUDDY WATERS

Eric of Straight White Guy has answered a long-standing request of mine by playing a little guitar, recording it with a cheap-ass microphone (and it's STILL a better quality recording than "Frampton Comes Alive"), and posting a little clip of some gentle, but heartfelt blues.

Only trouble is, he didn't sing any lyrics, and he didn't tell us the name of the song.

So I had to guess:

WAY-TOO-WHITE BOY BLUES
by Straight White Eric aka Milky Waters

Woke up late this morning, and grabbed some Wonder bread
Didn't use it to make a sammich, just ate it plain instead
Should I have some rice or popcorn? Man, I hate to have to choose
It's tough bein' so damn cracker, got them way-too-white boy blues.

I like vanilla & tapioca, don't drink no coffee with my cream
Clouds & fog & polar bears, they haunt my every dream
There's no color in my world, even when I try to snooze
Make Edgar Winter look like a brutha, got them way-too-white boy blues.

It's gonna be #1 with a bullet, so just keep your eyes riveted to the Billboard charts.

Eric's music kicked ass, while your lyrics definitely made me laugh! Well done!
