    Story Behind the Song
    The story is obvious, I'd never written a blues tune before because I believe you have to suffer to have the blues. I guess I finally suffered enough so I wrote Better Beat. Most of the blues tunes I've heard were always on the down side so I decided to write one with a positive edge. This recording was made with a band I was in (Something Blue) in 1988. It was recorded in a home studio on an Otari eight track in one take. I wrote Better Beat in the early 80's.

    Lyrics
    Verse 1
    There ain't nothin' I can sing about
    It's all been sung before
    Everything I use to know,
    Has done gone out the door.

    I Been to the Mountain tops
    To see what I could see,
    Been to the desert hot
    Searching for that mystery.

    Everytime I turn around
    I find myself on the ground,
    Gettin back on my feet
    Lookin for a better Beat.

    (you get the idea)
