This long holiday weekend made me think about the times we used to have after Thanksgiving, years ago. That's when the cousins, friends, neighbors and visiting relatives would all get together and just hang out. Usually some innocent trouble was found, probably rooted from simply having that many people together with nothing to do. Something is bound to go wrong in this small "one flashing light" town, huh?
Otis Gibbs is telling the more peaceful version, I think, with sweeter memories, indeed. In fact, he'll never be able to produce a video for this song because it won't match the pictures that each of us have in our head while listening to this gem. A true flashback...I love it! Oh, and bonus "cool factor" points to Otis for A.) dedication to the beard and B.) not snipping his guitar string ends.
I hope you're diggin' a small town Saturday night somewhere!
