I loved this Dan, and I love that you are finding a way not just to be creative for creativity sake but also to do so to bring yourself cheer and help others.
I can so relate to all of this. I appreciate you sharing this with us. I am not in a spot where I can listen to the song at the moment but I will. Kind of you to share the proceeds for a good cause. I agree with Gary. You are one of the good ones. Stay Salty, stay kind.
Thanks, man! And in the interest of guitar-nerd accuracy, I should clarify that mine is actually like John’s before he had the finish sanded off — so it actually looks more like the one we see George playing in Get Back, only minus the Bigsby vibrato. 😝
You can’t look for the muse! It finds YOU!!! (I think so read somewhere that Neil Young might have said that! In any case, it’s damn true and what an honor it is when it happens!!)
Thanks for this. Also for the title! I'm a big believer in titles contributing to the meaning of instrumentals, and "Night Errand" is just perfect for this one.
I also have to say that you made your reader in Finland splutter with startlement with that segment in there. Johnny started out as the drummer for the instrumental group The Sounds, whose 1963 "Emma" was the biggest home grown rock hit of the sixties (and who, like The Ventures, went on to become big in Japan). But even more bizarrely considering "Night Errand", my own favourite track by them is "Night Run", their surfy version of Brahms's Hungarian Dance No. 5.
Beg to differ. Your track totally sounds more like Neu!’s second album (side B only).
Also, i bought a used drum machine back in 1990. Went to a music store just to get a sense if the seller was offering a fair price. Music store guy told me that particular drum machine “was at the bottom of the food chain.”
I could afford it so bought it and totally loved it in all its basic glory.
Ahh, the Casino is revealed! I concur that the tune and 42nd St. photo fit together beautifully, for sure some Giorgio, also a good lead in for Joe's "In the City"! I'm a little upset that my Finnish friend did not introduce me to Johnny while I visited Helsinki.
Amen to all of that!
You're a good dude, Dan. Truly one of the good ones. ✨
Awww shucks

The combo of the song and the picture is perfect. Now you need a screenplay.
Right on, man
Cool track and I love the idea of “Creativity IS the point”.
Thanks, my man! And yeah, it’s an incredibly freeing concept…
Your song is so soothing. Two thumbs up to continuing your musical creativity.
Thank you, Ellen - glad you dig it!
Fantastic! I need some instruments!
Do it!
Good work with the new tune! Also, I’m definitely NOT THE LEAST BIT JEALOUS that you’ve bought an Epiphone Casino a la Lennon in Get Back…

Thanks - I definitely didn’t see it coming!

Whoa - I had no idea! Thanks for the info; I’ll have to check out The Sounds!
Dam, finally got a minute to listen to Might Errand. Really nice. Good work.
Thank you, Taz! That means a lot!

I remember that drum machine! I couldn’t make head or tail of it…
